[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a toddler deciding if she wants to sleep in her pajamas? I never hear of something so ridiculous.

Should a parent know better than a toddler. OMG.[/quote]

I’m not OP, but why shouldn’t a toddler know what they want to sleep in? How old do you have to be before you know what you like or don’t?[/quote]

Toddler may get colder at night since her body is at rest. Even if she wakes and puts her blanket back on by herself (without waking the parents), it's still disruptive to her own sleep cycle which in and of itself isn't good for her, but also can contribute to daytime fussiness. That's why parents make the rules. Mom may decide it's no big deal, but it's not at all unreasonable for Dad to feel otherwise. It is a valid parenting decision on his part and, at least in this example, not him being unreasonably rigid. [/quote]

Not pp, just agree that it's a little ridiculous to act like this is a 'no brainer/good parenting' decision. [/quote]
