I am tired of this now!!!!

[Bandana]

3:45am and I am awoken for the THIRD time by my son getting into my bed \o/


For the past 6 mos Imanni comes into my room EVERY NIGHT


He has all kinds of excuses, he did the "bad dream" excuse for weeks and there were times that I let him stay.
But I just didn't believe him have bad dream EVERY night


So he come up with all kind of reasons:

"I just want to share with you"
"I just want to give you a kiss"


Once in a while I would not mind, but EVERY night???? \o/



So I get up, I take him back to his room, I tuck him in and I kiss his forehead.


9 times out of 10 he comes back as soon as he hears me snoring again
Sometimes he sneaks so quietly I sleep right through it and wake up to a foot in my back or to the boy curled up on the edge of the bed...

WHYYYYYY??????

From the time he was 2 he slept in his own bed. 2, 3, 4, 5 no problems, he goes to bed with out a fuss, he slept through the night and we had no problems. Why now, at almost 6 years old, can he not get through one night in his own room????

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

Imanni probably needs more reassurance that the belly is not taking Mommy away from him. As you grow I guess he needs more reassurance

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

maybe u can leave them and move out into another bed?

hush (((bandi)) me nuh know what to tell u.

[Gen]

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

speak to him about it daily so that he is aware and knows what is happening.

once the baby is here..take him out for special days..just you and him

and let him know that you will still have lots of time and love for <span style="font-weight: bold">him</span> now and then.

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

only you. I used to grab the couch now and again when I wanted to really sleep.

I Do Gen!
And he has been so good about it, he rub my belly and say &quot;good morning baby sister&quot; we do all the things we always did...

When I put him to bed every night I tell him he need to stay in his own bed, he's a big boy, he has a nice bed....
every night he says okay Momma
and every night he come in my room

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

i had this problem at about the same age or maybe a little older

i bought abu a sleeping bag and told him he couldn't sleep with me - but he could sleep in the sleeping bag in my room if he got scared

a few mornings i woke up and he was in there - but that drastically reduced him sleeping in my bed - felt like i was sleeping with a windmill

even now he will turn up in my room (at 13 ) but he curls up in his blanket at the foot of the bed - not in it

i think mo_fire used this method with little mo_fire

I guess I could try the sleeping bag thing Seveen, but it feel like I'm giving in that way \o/


I know I must pick my battles, but dis seem like one I should fight... why now after all this time him choose to come into my bed... maybe it is the belly as dem say... I dunno...

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

I am not ashamed to say I just low him fi come inna the bed ... and is every nite him come and him tell me him just showing me love ... him no have no other excuse ... easier for both of us I get to sleep he gets to sleep ... even though he's promised to sleep in his bed without me asking.

Re: I am tired of this now!!!!

the sleeping bag thing sounds like a good compromise.

i have the same issue..but because mr cb tell LB fi come eena the bed (but cuss when him a get the knee and the elbows), nothing will come of any attempts that i make.

suh me just and push LB over towards him fada when the bad sleeping start.

he had stopped for a couple months and then he started back up again..but lately it's not EVERY nite..and i can live with two or three times a week without complaining.

*cross finga, knock on wood..that him nuh start it as a every nite ritual again now that me talk)
