I don't know why you feel she's an intrusion in your bed. Your marital
situation doesn't have to suffer if you're both creative *smile* and want
have a common goal of making your child feel secure.
Talk to your hubbie and see if he agrees to do his part to keep the
marriage together during this short period in your lifetime together.
Follow your mother instincts and let everyone around you either support
you or stay out of the way while you follow your heart.
Let us know how it goes,

Maybe we need to discuss more thinking outside the box! <bwg>

::just kidding... I'm punchy tonight... the EVE of my 49th bday::
Candy
Well, I defiantly don't feel she is an intrusion in our lives, I feel blessed every day I get to be with her. I am a stay at home mom, and I guess I just meant it was easy to get into a routine, and am trying not to neglect either relationship. My husband and I both think that the family bed is very important for bonding, and he likes it because he has to be away from her all day at work, it is kind of our family time. Once we go to bed, we all lay around and talk, sing, sometimes play games, it is ended up being a nice end of the day routine. I very much enjoy that.
I guess I have just been taken by surprise by her need to be with us more often instead of less! I have been trying to think of ways to work with this somewhat new schedule of no naps as well. With Courtney sleeping with us since we brought her home from the hospital, we were used to taking advantage of the times when we were alone. But we have really been missing her naps!! :o) I know we just need to learn to be creative again.

Since I *know* Candy and her family I will have to pop in and say I know she doesnt think Courtney is an intrusion in their bed at all ..She just needs some creative ideas on how to keep those home fires burning while the little one is sleeping in the bed, something that is easier for my husband and myself since our son is 13 months old and co-bedding, but will get difficult again in a few months..I didnt have this problem when my daughter (now 9) was younger because I was a single mom and when I wasnt she had moved to her own bed (I'd say around 5..)
One thing that popped into my head Candy was letting Courtney 'fall asleep' in your bed with you guys and then you two sneaking out into the living room, or letting Courtney sleep on the couch for a bit and you two sneak into the bedroom while keeping the tv on in the living room maybe?
Someone else who has kids this age may have better advice

Thanks Nichoel! Maybe I worded things wrong before, I feel like the one of the most blessed people in the world! I would not change a thing about our daily lives. I just meant that I have been caught by surprise from the latest changes!
