BAHAHAHAHAHA Isn't it amazing how such little bodies can take up so much room. We used to call them Little Furnaces too because they always seem warm, and then crush us and make us sweat. With me now it's a 9 year old girl and a husband who snores like a chain saw. When they are both in the bed I just give up sleeping.

So funny. Ya know our kids have always and still do sleep in our bed. Right now we have a 4 YO in a toddler bed beside us, a 2 YO in our bed and our 9 YO on a cot beside our bed. No idea why they prefer our room, jokingly told DH next time we buy a home it should just have one ginormous bedroom...LOL Don't know what we will do when our next one comes home in the spring...

This post made me smile. Last night a friend of mine and I were supposed to be watching Facing the Giants together however I fell asleep and as she got up to go back to her room I found myself jumping up and trying to talk to her... I was mildly confused and could barely form sentences. It made for an interesting conversation this afternoon.

I so relate to this post. I laughed when I read it. What has worked BEST for me is that I pay my children to sleep in their beds. Yes, I do! Crazy as it sounds. I NEED my sleep with 2 wee ones and 2 jobs. They have also learned that Mom is very Grumpy when I don't get enough sleep. We also have some weekend sleep overs where we all pile in my bed and this helps too. With all this said, Lily Wen has been in my bed for the last three nights so paying her is no longer working. I am open for suggestions! Have a great day!

Oh, sleep...glorious sleep. I dream of the day, one day far in the future, neither of my two will wake me up in the middle of the night. Of course, by then, my bladder will have shrunk and I'll have to get up to pee ever night multiple times.

Sleep is SOOOOOO important Denise!! AND if Momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy! You have GOT to get it where you can!

Hmmmm, I detest sleeping with the kids but sometimes HOW do we avoid it? Some have such SHARP elbows and knees it is more of a torture chamber! I also have one that sighs and coos all night...this drives me insane and then I end up in their bed! UGH!

Okay...I am tired today...it is gray and chilly...think I had better stop at the market on the way to pick up the big kids and get a box of little white donuts. Wait, then I would have to share them.

Oh wait...one more thing...I want to know WHO the stud is...or would be!

This reminds me of..

1. The Sound of Music... Maria let them pile into bed too :)

2. My mother. We knew if we woke her up just enough she'd answer a question but then wouldn't remember the next day! "But Mom, we DID ask you!"

3. ME - I used to get in bed with my Mom for all sorts of reasons if I was upset or my room was messy... oh wait... I still might do that!

Love it :)

I only have this issue when my nephew sleeps over, but I'm with you - it is easier just to let them in the bed. That is until you get a little elbow or knee to the ribs and he's turned sideways in the bed.

It's only then that I re-think my "easy" decision.

You know it could be dangerous to let us EE peeps know your sleep weakness.

I second Heather's request.......and just telling you how much I don't miss kids in my bed. I do admit that I had a 16 year old in my bed earlier this year when her boyfriend broke up with her, but I did send her back to her own bed. Mind do still wake me if they are sick in the night, but I can tend to them and usually get back to bed. This is just one phase, sleep is overrated, coffee is the bomb!
