[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised the topic of co-sleeping comes up amongst people because it’s not he norm. Those that co-sleep often had kids who wouldn’t/couldn’t sleep by themselves.  My feeling is who cares because it doesn’t effect me. I would be curious if this couple ever goes out at night. Is the babysitter supposed to hop in bed with young Larla?  Next will come the sleepover invitations….[/quote]

I think it’s the norm more than people think it is. We co-sleep but don’t discuss it because of people like OP. It started as purely survival as we drew the kid who never sleeps card, but as she’s gotten older, it still works for our family. I listen to many of our non cosleeping friends who are run ragged with wake ups and the like, and nope, despite the poor sleeper card, I’m well rested while they are spread thin and spending forever with wake ups for whatever reason. I’ve since been surprised when many other friends mention they cosleep. Many are from different cultures and from that standpoint,  it’s not that surprising, but also helps reiterate that it’s a choice many families make. It’s just not discussed.

We have a life. We go out, but rarely, because it’s not our thing, and wasn’t before DD was even born. It has nothing to do with how we sleep. [/quote]
