Where Should Your Child Sleep?

Quote From: puptent

We put him in his bed at night but he always comes in overnight but the difference for me is my hubby is okay with it.  I agree that they are young and need us as parents but I wonder why he doesn't feel secure enough to stay in his bed all night and have tried to help him with this.  I love the closeness that we (hubby and I) have with our son.  I love waking up in the morning with him in our bed -- it is a wonderful feeling but I don't know that I could let it continue if my hubby did not agree. 

  

I don't know that I would say either of you (you and hubby) are wrong but I know that you need to come to an agreement as it isn't good to argue about and in front of your son.  You two need to discuss this and other child situations ahead of time to see what page you are each on.  This will help to avoid future arguments over how to raise your child. 

  

Good luck and hang in there! 

For my son, at 3, I don't believe it's a security issue that has him coming to our bed in the night. He just loves to cuddle with us as much as we love to cuddle with him.   

  

However, like you say, if hubbie was opposed I would have to find some way to resolve the issue.  Co-sleeping is wonderful but not worth ruining my marriage over!
