K has been sleeping in bed with us since right after christmas
His room is so cold and we qere having a cold spell so I brought him in and now it is a nightly thing like we don't even put him down in his bed
I'm not sure how to break this habit he never slept with us before this winter but as my belly grows there isn't going to be much ro left
Part of me loves him there so close so I can snuggle him all night though so I'm not really trying to break this habit even though I know it's going to bite me in the ass
I'm not going to work til noon. It's partly because of my NT scan, but that's at ten and won't take that long. Why did I tell my boss I would be in a noon? To give myself time to grab lunch at McDonalds. I haven't had it in forever and neeeeeed to satisfy this craving.
I guess mine is that I wish I understood how people liked having their kid in bed with them. I hate it. I will only do it if there's no other way to get a little sleep and I've been up most of the night.
Maybe Bc the only times my kids slept in my bed, they had to be pressed up against me. I need room and no touching to be able to sleep.

I feel ya it's not comfortable but he is so close and warm and is getting so big and won't want me in a few years that I'm just cherishing the snuggles
I confess that Blake comes to bed with us too, but only for a couple hours. He goes down at 7p in his own bed, and will sleep in there until anywhere from 5a-630a. Then he will wake, and mumbled 'mamammamamama or dadadadada' in his bed until one of us (usually me, unless I've already left for work) gets up and goes to get him. A lot of times, especially lately, he has peed through his diaper though, so I don't feel like I can just ignore him. Once he's in bed with us, he will sleep until 730a or 8a. My H loves it, and I don't mind the extra snuggles. I don't really have plans of stopping, but it could be interesting adding a new baby to the mix.
I've brought him to bed with us for a full night when he's been sick, and it's terrible. Kicking me and H, and rolling around the whole time, so we don't get sleep. Just a couple hours in the early morning is fine though.
teamhayes - Resist the urge! Don't do what we did! We let G sleep with us last spring when he was miserable with back to back flu, croup, and strep throat. Then we sold our house and lived with my MIL for a couple months until we found our new one. All the while sleeping with us!!
I just bought another huge box of size 6 diapers because I have given up on potty training for now. I really didn't want 2 in diapers, but he's not ready and I refuse to stress out about it. He will most likely still be in diapers when he starts preschool in a month.
I'm sorry you're struggling fadedscars. I don't have advice, but I do hope you're able to find someone or something to help. Maybe talking to a doctor or other mental health professional is a start?
We don't have any grown up glassware. My husband collects pint glasses from different breweries and we use those. Just one of many ways in which I don't feel like an adult yet.

I haven't planned anything for L's birthday and I have no idea where to start. We've had parties for her first and second birthdays. I don't know why there's a block this time around.
Caleb is still sleeping in our bed every night. He goes to sleep in his bed but wakes up between 10:30 and 2, usually in the 11 o'clock hour. Although I have gotten used to it, I can't wait until he's sleeping in his own bed straight through the night. Or rather, I can't wait until I'm sleeping straight through the night. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had an unbroken night of sleep in the last several months.
I guess my major confession is I'm not doing anything to prevent it. I initially was focused on the idea that he needed to sleep in his bed on his own, but after hearing similar stories from so many other people of different ages and cultures, I realized, from a developmental standpoint, this is just a cultural thing. It's culture, not biology that tells us our kids need to be sleeping alone.
I do wish I could get a solid night's sleep, though.
fadedscars are you talking to anyone? A counselor? I hope you're able to work through it. You've got so much on your plate right now.

fadedscars, I'm not sure if you have a psychiatrist or not, but I needed to take it one day at a time making the appt (that I haven't gone to yet). One day I printed the list from my insurance company. The next day I went through it. The next day I went through one round of calls. The next day another round of calls. All those "days" were not sequential.
It was so hard but now that I have a pending appt, I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted. Even though it was almost 3 months out at the time.
There are also some emergency walk-in clinics in some areas. PM me if you want me to look those up for you. When I was looking for providers, I enlisted the help of a very compassionate friend. He helped me a lot.

WY comes into our bedroom every night between 2-4. He used to crawl into bed with us but we bought him a cot and he sleeps there now. It doesn't bother us at all. He will grow out of it but until then he is welcome.
