[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing drives me more bonkers than the question "have you asked your ped for advice." Seriously!? Why in the world would I want my pediatricians advice on sleeping when I could ask parents who have actually encountered the same thing, probably more recently than my 65 year old pediatrician!  No way would I make an appointment, show up and say, well I'm thinking about moving my child to a big boy bed ...

OP, I know lots of kids who transitioned after 3 and don't have any more problems staying in bed than anyone else. That's not to say that it is easy to keep a 3 year old in bed! It's not! We had a lot of success with a reward system. If my son stayed in bed during the week he got a surprise on the weekends. I'm about ready to move my daughter to a big girl bed and we will be resurrecting the surprise system ASAP![/quote]

To piggy back on this, nothing drives me more bonkers than someone asking genuine advice like this OP and then some smug bitch comes in all, "You did THAT!? Pretty much the worst thing you could have done. Your life is now ruined and it's totally your fault. Prepare for the next 3 years to suck and in case I didn't already make it clear, you have ONLY yourself to blame. May God have mercy on your soul, I mean Jesus, I can't believe people like you would _______ [insert thing parent is asking advice about]."
