Answered on 12th August 2008:

We tried the co-sleeping thing and found it much more adventagous in the long run to have the child form the ability to sleep alone. While certainly easier in the early days, it proved to cause problems such as you are having now. I also quit breast feeding right after a year, think children need to learn to entertain themselves for short periods at an early age, and use spanking as discipline for serious offenses. So you may not want to listen to me as it seems to be the "new thing" that I'm doing it all wrong and that it should really be the child that is in control of the house, not the parents. **grin** Afterall, what do I know - we have three healthy, gifted, Christ centered children and WHO wants that?
