She's 3 1/2 and firmly in her own bed now, but I miss her sleeping with me. Every once in a blue moon she'll stay in my room and I love it (except that she sleeps sideways and I wind up on the edge of the bed). One of the joys of single parenting is being able to snuggle with your kid at night, why not take advantage of it...it certainly won't last forever. As for the dating...I initially started trying to get her into her own bed when I reconnected with an ex. Then I decided, screw him. My daughter stayed in my bed, and we stayed on the couch and I made sure he was out before she woke up. He never complained. Maybe he was just happy I was willing to sleep with him lol. Glad I found your blog. Great writing! I started reading your post, and thought, holy crap…this is me and my daughter! She’s 3 1/2 and firmly in her own bed now, but I miss her sleeping with me.

We moved in April and prior to the move Ruth was sleeping in her princess bed alone. Since the move she has not once slept all night in her own bed. I also want to be in an intimate relationship. But I've just decided nobody stays over at my house ever. Period. So we continue our routinue , crawl into Mom's bed read a bokk tell a funny made-up story and sleep peacefully and wake happy :-) with little feet pressed into my back or on my face I’ve been asking myself the same questions.
