[quote=Anonymous]We co-sleep with a 9 year old and 6 year old.  This isn't about not setting limits.  It is about listening to what our children need.  They are independent, sleep-over-at-other-kids'-houses-loving, happy, well-adjusted children.  They love to snuggle with us all night.  They love that a bad dream is instantly remedied by a snuggle.  It's a chance for us to be with them physically, since they have school and activities and their own busyness all day.  I do not think that there is evidence for either side to proclaim that it is "right."  But we know that we are doing the right thing for them, and we are not in any way harming or hindering our kids by having them in our bed.  
I was never allowed in my parents' bed, except on a rare occasion.  And I hated that.  I often felt scared at night and would have loved to snuggle.  I had an entourage of animals and dolls to protect me.  How sad!  My kids have never ask for or wanted anything exept mom and dad, and they have us.  
The sex question is utterly odd to me.  I mean I am dumbstruck and simply do not understand how people think that this would be soooooo hard to accomodate.  I don't want to be judgmental, but seriously they are the ones needing to spice it up a little, think outside of the box.  We have a healthy sex life just as we did before kids.  Being intimate in another room is just as satisfying, people.[/quote]
