[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty laid back and firmly believe every child and parent is different. I don't understand why people are so militant about certain things -- breastfeeding, daycare vs. SAHM (this extremism either way I REALLY don't understand, you do you!), etc.

The one I do get judgmental about is when people co-sleep with their kids waaaay past the newborn age (I know someone who STILL sleeps with their kindergartner every night) and are trapped in this cycle and won't change things even though they're miserable[/quote]

Me too.  And I know one older than kindergarten.  I automatically think they are weird and would not allow my kid to have a sleepover at their house or have the kid to mine.[/quote]

Cosleep parent here. While we don't cosleep in the same manner as we did earlier in our infant/toddler years, my son is 5 and if he wakes up in the middle of the night he can come to our bed. If its before 1am, I take him back to his bed. After 1, we do whatever gets the most sleep, which is normally him sleeping with us. I get my best sleep between 1-5am so I don't want any interruptions. He has always had issues sleeping that are incrementally getting better.

On a related note, we dont do sleepovers AT ALL. So not a concern from this weirdo ![/quote]

Absolutely agree that whatever gets everyone the best sleep is best. However, a child climbing into your bed in the middle of the night is totally different from one who wont even sleep in his own room from the get-go. I know lots of parents who have poor sleep, poor self car and poor intimacy because they're 5 year old sees Mommy and Daddy's bed as theirs. [/quote]
