No sleep til Brooklyn

By blahblah - 24/05/2010 04:14 - United States

Today, finally we got our toddler daughter to sleep in her own bed. The wife and I were both excited to finally have our room to ourselves. Just as our daughter was about to fall asleep, the damn cat went into her room and loudly hacked up a huge hairball. Now she's back in mommy's and daddy's bed. FML

you should of put her right back in HER bed & let her there. if you tough it out a few nights she will learn that her bed is where she is SUPPOSED to be. all you are teaching her now is how to manipulate to get her own way.

You sure you or your wife is not just using that as an excuse? I mean sometimes one or both parents will overprotect the child and the child picks up on all that. If your nervous and worried about things all the time then the kid will mimic this and think that they too should be like that. Of course the kid could just be a little pussy. Tell her to get back to her bed or you will tell her of all the things out there that she should REALLY be afraid of. :-P

How could the cat get into her room? Cats do that, you could have expected it and closed the damn door..

little kids like to sleep with the door open or at least cracked so light can come in, but if i was OP, I'd invest in a night light.

So, get off your ass and take your toddler back to her bed. Other than having a nightmare or being sick, there's no reason she should be in your bed (and normally even after a nightmare my parents would take me back to my bed once I fell asleep). All you're doing is supporting and developing bad habits. It may mean some long nights for the two of you, but every time she comes into your bed, take her back to hers, no matter how many times she does it. Eventually, she'll get the picture and you'll get a good night's sleep.

Why did you start allowing her in your bed? That is one of the biggest no-nos for parents. You created this habit, don't you dare blame it on the cat or your toddler. Keep putting her in her bed without speaking to her, she'll get tired of coming to your room.

Make her sleep in her own bed anyway. Don't baby her, or she'll never learn.
