Ladies, I have a secret. My 21 month old takes naps in his bed, goes to sleep in his bed but when he wakes in the middle of night I bring him in our bed. Please tell me I am not the only one?
My daughter who will be 5 in april still climbs into my bed every night. I don't know if it will be a habit that I won't like later, but right now she is only small once, right?

My 17 month old still sleeps with us. I know I need to transition her to her own bed soon, because I am due to have another baby the very end of June! I don't feel bad about it though. My grandma told me that she regrets not taking more time to hold, comfort, and cuddle with her babies. She was told to let them cry it out and that is what she did. Now they are all grown up and she misses those days when they were little. I guess the way I see it, I don't want to look back and have the same regrets. They just grow up so fast. My oldest will be graduating high school in 3 1/2 short years.
My son is 6 months old & sleeps with me every night. I work full time during the day while my husband stays home with the baby so I feel like it's extra bonding time to snuggle with him at night. I'm sure breaking the habit at some point will be hard to do but that's something we'll deal with when the time comes. For now, I'll enjoy it while it lasts!
my first marriage ended when my son was about 3 but his father worked the midnight shift his entire life so baby, big sis and i would sleep together. i never made a big deal about it. they would go to bed in their rooms and end up with each other or me by the morning.
this continues now. they are much bigger now, had to get a california size king bed but most of the time, they end up in one of their rooms together. i don't see it as a big deal. he stopped coming into my room as much i guess when he was about 7. they'll grow out of it. then you'll miss them...
We weren't very strict about this, either. Seems like our two older ones really liked sleeping in bed with us, but they kind of outgrew it. It was never really an issue. And I have to admit that when daddy goes out of town, which is not too often, I like to have one of the kids with me. I don't know why...I just feel a little more secure.
Thank you for everyones stories. My mother makes me feel so guilty about it. I think as long as my husband and I are ok with it, we shouldn't be feel guilty about it.
Since Dalton's dad moved out and we got divorced, I think he has been in my bed with me every night. I try and get him to go to sleep in his bed but it dosent seam to work. It really dosent work after he gets back from his dads house. So 1kaya no matter what family says (because belive me I get it to) as long as you and hubby are okay I say go for it.
