[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why why why would someone say she has you wrapped around her finger because she doesn't want to sleep in a bed?  I have four kids.  One loved the swing, three hated it.  Two were breastfed and two never got into it and were formula fed.  A couple were dry-at-night from early on and a couple were still in pull-ups much later.  One spoke at 10 months - didn't hear a peep out of her sister until she was 16 months.  Two eat everything, one practically only eats toast and one cannot really decide.  One likes to sleep with the light on.  One likes a dark room.  One likes the bathroom light to be on.  One likes her door shut (but not shut-shut).  I probably fall into the category of being a more strict mom - rules, consequences and routines, but I can honestly say that all kids are so different.  OP your child will ditch the crib at some stage.  Why judge yourself by people who have decided that some arbitrary book "I got to chapter four hear me roar" gives them the right to uproot your little one from their preferred place of sleep JUST BECAUSE.  The saddest posts on this site are from parents who are desperately worried that their small kids are not "tracking for Harvard"  What gets lost in all the semantic and didactic muddle is that kids with good parenting, loads of love, humor, support and positive reinforcement will have a great start, regardless on whether your friends put them in a big bed before you did.  One of my kids wanted a bottle much later than the others.  Two cannot be separated from their cuddlies.  What I refuse to do is let some DCUM 'normal' deprive them of something they love and does no harm.  [/quote]

I really liked this. Can I come and find you if I have my 4th? [/quote]
