[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these people that never lie in bed with their kids?[/quote]

Me. I've never done that. When they were still in the crib, we'd read in the glider with them in our laps and then turn out the lights and rock (or nurse up until age 1.5) them to sleep before putting them in their beds and leaving the room. Once they were out of the crib (around age 3) and in a big bed, we started what we still do: we sit next to them in their bed to read books before turning out the light and giving hugs/kisses then the parent goes and sits in the glider and stays there til the kid falls asleep. Our kids are now 8 and 6. The 8 year old recently said that he doesn't want us to sit in the glider til he falls asleep anymore because it's too distracting and he falls asleep better when no one's in there. I was a little sad! But I certainly understand because I'm the same way myself. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep if someone was sitting in my room waiting for me to fall asleep haha.[/quote]
