My DD's crib is in my room along with an extra mattress for our stepkids even though they have their own room. I have no problem with co-sleeping, except there is five of us. I would never force them to sleep on their own, they are always more than welcome to come in our room and sleep, maybe not in the same bed all the time, but i see your point. i have woken up with three kids, SO, and two dogs all in the same bed, talk about hurting the next day.
each family does what they feel is right. some cosleep; some don't. some parents (like myself) are scared of hurting their kids which is why i never co-slept. whatever decision that is made is not wrong; it's what suits the family.
I agree

I have never co-slept with either of my children. They have their beds, I have mine. I never wanted them to get into the habit of sleeping in our bed. But when they are sick they can come and lay with us till they fall asleep and then Daddy or I carry them back into their bed. I grew up that mom and dad's room was their room. It was the one place in the house they did not have to be mom and dad...so I guess I am just used to it. Besides my eldest does not like to be touched when he is sleeping and my baby is a violent sleeper! But each family does what is best for them...
When did your LO get their first crush?
