[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=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. [/quote]
Your boy doesn’t really belong in your bed. 
Do you understand that?[/quote]

+1.  4.5 is too old for this OP. Listen to your husband. This is not healthy for your son in the long term.[/quote]

Guys, come on, let’s not overstate this. Of course OP should consider her husband’s wishes and they should decide together how best to handle this. But to say it’s “not healthy” for a preschooler to sleep in bed with his parents is too much. I say this as someone whose 1 and 3 year olds sleep in their own beds most of the time, but the times they join us are not unwelcome. I have zero concerns that their time in our bed —even if it were more frequent—will make them poor students, unkind people, dependent adults, or whatever else you all are worried about.

They’re little kids. They love and need their parents. That’s all. [/quote]
