So my two oldest (dd -5 and ds-4) have been sleeping in bed with my dh and I since they were about 4 or 5 months old. I think its time to make the switch for all of our sakes and my husband does not agree.. He is always so worried. Their rooms are right down the hall from ours, a matter of feet literally.. But he is such a protective man with all of us that he refuses to let them in there own beds. HELP! I need that private space with my husband. Hes currently stationed in Arizona and will be home soon, so when he gets here I want it to be just us in our bed but I know he wont. How do I go about getting him to see where Im coming from? We also have a 6 month old baby boy who is in his own crib and I refuse to start him in our bed like my husband wants..
Why not have beds in your room to start off with then gradually put them in their own rooms? Or have them bunk together in one room? Safety in numbers???? That way your bed in your space, but the kids are still close to you.......
my dd and ds use to sleep with my dh and I in the same room, he always tried getting them in the same bed as us but I always refused, at bed time he would put them in the bed and I would take them out of our bed, he would get a little upset but we were in the same room! only different beds, he slowly started getting use to that then one day I said "ok I cannot take it anymore I can't make noise or keep the light on because the kids are in here, I can't even have sex it's weird to do it with the kids almost next to us!" he was mad but I still put them in a separate room, at first he would always tried to keep them with us and I would get mad and send them to their room eventually he got use to the idea of them sleeping in a different room. I do not like co-sleeping, never did and if I have another kid I'll never do it. I say just do it, they get mad at first but then eventually they'll understand and get use to it :)
How do you deal with a potty mouth?!
