I guess you say I stand on the fence when it comes to co-sleeping or sharing your bedroom with your children. I have known those who would never let their children sleep in their bed or on their floor and also those who willing share their bed with their children and have a toddler bed in their room for their child to sleep on.
We have a very comfortable queen size bed. Comfortable until you throw a large one year old and a three year old in it with you and then it is quite cozy-is that the right word? Cozy, sometimes, if I am too asleep to notice the children who have climbed into the bed. Then I wake up, sore, and unable to stretch my legs because a child is sleeping across them.
What is the solution? A king size bed maybe? But then when there are more children and we find ourselves with three or four children climbing in to sleep with us, well I not be just as sore and unable to stretch my legs because of the children that are sleeping on them?
Kick them out? Create rules and regulations regarding bedtime and sleeping in our bed? This seems cruel and unnecessary to me.
I love snuggling with my babies in the morning. Even when they decided to sleep with their stinky diaper butts in my face or across my legs so I can't sleep well.
I also love having space to myself to stretch out.
So, someday we will buy a bigger bed.
