But seriously, we spend all our waking hours with our children. I really believe that parents need that time in their beds to themselves free from the kids. And the kids need to learn that their beds are a safe place. I had mine trained from day one that there is no way she's getting in my bed. It took a few rough nights, but I won the goddamn war on that one.

As a parent, I can attest that your summation is true. These are the same mother frickers that let their kids run around a restaurant yelling. Discipline is out the window nowadays.

My kid hasn't been in my bed in 10 years. Sorry your perspective sucks.

Sure. But don't complain you can't get your child out of your bed.


But do complain about people who complain. Checkmate sandman.

There will come a time when my kid wants very little to do with me. If you think I'm going to pass on the moments I will cherish forever, then you sir, are an idiot.

Some of the absolutely most miserable parents I know are ones that allow their children to sleep in their bed. The marriage declines into shambles, and the children always have issues developing normally.

It's usually due to selfish parents. You can cuddle with your kids before bedtime, or early in the morning when they wake up. But they have to learn boundaries, and understand that the parents and children should have their own space.

I know the parent of an 12 year old that sleeps with her every night. Can't get them into their own room.

Love it.

But do complain about people who complain about people who complain.

Checkmate.

Just to throw a different scenario into the mix, what if the family isn't well-off financially and only have one bed? Should the parent(s) or kid(s) sleep on the floor? Will the same negative impact to the child occur in this situation?

People with pet peeves that don't have an effect on them at all, you know the ones. They bring people that let their child get up in the middle of the night and get in bed with them And they're too lazy to put the child back in his or her own bed. And they complain. They could just mind their on business.

Friend of mine had a ten year old son. She let him still sleep in the same bed.

And she wondered why the kids picked on him at school for being a mama's boy.

My 9 year old has a pallet on our floor and he comes in every night at some point. It was our bed until he got too big. I just completely redid his room to see if it would inspire him to stay the night, but nope. He's got crazy sleep anxiety.

If they can not afford a bed, then they probably shouldn't have a child to begin with.

HA! The joke's on you! My marriage was in shambles Before I let the kids sleep in the bed!

I did not know having a seven year old child sleep in his or her own bed constitutes abandonment.



No, leaving before they are born does though.

Hmmm....couldn't have been too bad. You were at least knocking the bottom out and inseminating her.

When my kids want to sleep in my bed, I just head to one of theirs and crash. Win.
