Sleeping in his own bed! But I’m sad.

Anonymous
DS age 4.5 has been sleeping with us. DH wants to begin moving him out and into his own room. I’m sad! I’ll miss the snuggles. That is all.

Go in his room and snuggle. He should be in his own bed.

Don’t worry. It will take at least 2 years to get rid of him.

We snuggle while we read for 15 min. No need for more

Good grief, cut the cord already.

I get it! I loved those snuggles in the early years.

My son is now off in college, very independent, but I still have fond memories of those days!

Snuggle in his bed. We snuggled in each of our kids’ own beds at bedtime until they were about ten years old. Sometimes DH would fall asleep with them.

I just dropped my son st college and would sell my soul to have that time back for one day. Of course he needs to move out but you don’t have to rush it and don’t pay attention to the people who try to make you feel bad. He will never be 4.5 again.

DS is 7. I don't snuggle in his bed all that often but I do sit in his room while he falls asleep. We snuggle on the couch and read together. I love the snuggles.

I am glad that he is in his own bed. We went on a backpacking trip this summer and DS slept between DH and I. DH and I both ended up pushed against the side of the tent as our child moved around all night, to include sleeping on both of our air mattresses. I love him to death but he is not easy to share a sleeping space with.

Make weekend mornings a time when he can come to your bed and snuggle for a while with you.

Have him sleep in his own bed so you can work on baby #2.

Do you and your DH ever go out for the evening? How does this work if the child is in your bed? Does the sitter put your child down in your bed?

Nurture your husband. Sheesh. I can’t imagine how he feels. Time for the kid to get into his own bed and make your marriage a priority for at least a small portion of the day.
