[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who co-sleep that long, I’ve observed, have really messed up marriages. They don’t prioritize that relationship and it shows. I know it’s something people have done in other cultures and for millennia. But for 21st century US parents I think it always spells trouble. But, OP- don’t say anything! It’s their choicr, not yours [/quote]

What shows? That they consider only one bed the appropriate place for sex? Or.. they don’t have an agreement on parenting philosophy? Or one is a child themselves and doesn’t want to share?

Because really, I don’t see the correlation. [/quote]

IMO, it’s usually the moms who want to keep co-sleeping and the dads and their opinions about it get shunted to the side. Or it causes problems when one parent- either one- wants to think about ending it and the other doesn’t. And then maybe they try, and the kid is walking around all night and everyone is sleep deprived and arguing. So I think it’s a parenting philosophy thing. I sort of think of extensive co sleeping as of a piece with helicopter parenting. Or weird super progressive lenient parenting. “But the kid doesn’t want to leave!”  Etc. But to each his own. and you don’t say a word, OP![/quote]
