Where Should Your Child Sleep?

Quote From: tarajones

I am a mother of two children, Bradley who is now 3 and Emily who is 15 months old.  When my son was about 1 yr old, my husband started working out of town. He was only home thursday night- saturday and then left again on Sunday. My son had always slept in his own bed (unless he woke up scared, etc then I would put him in bed with me).. Anyways, My husband would come home and he would have our son sleep with us because he never got to spend time with our son, he just wanted to cuddle and love on him all he could while he was home.  I think Children should have their own comfort and stability sleeping in their own beds but certain circumstances call for different measures and I think in the long run they end up sleeping in their own beds.. I don't know any teenagers that are still sleeping between mommy and daddy..  :)  

I think that is great that your husband pulls you son into bed with you. Your husband is obviously feeling that need to comfort his children even if they dont need comforting at that time.  

I havent heard of any teenagers still sleeping with their parents. My 1st child slept with me till she was 5 or 6 and she went to her own bed nicely with no objections. NOw I still practice the family bed with my 2nd child who is now  one yrs. old and I wouldnt have it any other way.
