[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 512399, member: 11847"] First of all: welcome back my friend! As far as the sleep issue, I get you worries. It is one thing I cannot do: sleep with my kids. Even as babies, I never liked it. There are several reasons, but the main one being I want to have some time with my husband. They have me all day, I NEED that time with husband. I know you are single, but I feel you embrass the same logic. For me, it is something worth fighting for. If I were you, I would simply say: "J, you are too old to sleep in my bed anymore." and follow through even if it means bringing him back to his bed 5 times a night. I have done it with the boys and still does it with Sweet Pea sometimes. The first time, I speack softly and explain that they need to stay in bed. The second time I take the back and only say good night, after that I don't even talk anymore. But it can be a battle, specially with an older kid. But whatever you decide, do one or the other. The half his bed, half your bed disrupts his sleep and you know how important sleep is for difficult children! [/QUOTE]
