    Wife still sleeping with 1-year-old...

    Let me respond to some of the feedback even though I'm a couple of months late. I apologize if I stray more toward marriage than parenting since this is a parenting forum, but obviously the two are connected. For one, we have considered a king-size bed, but we're getting a little low on space...

    Wife still sleeping with 1-year-old...

    Daughter is 15 months old now, and the situation hasn't changed. She doesn't even take a nap alone. Either my wife takes naps with her or on weekdays my in-laws lie down next to her. They usually still carry her around until she falls asleep and sometimes sit down and hold her until she wakes...

    Wife still sleeping with 1-year-old...

    By "co-sleeping" I'm not talking about a toddler occasionally sleeping in the parents' bed or a baby sleeping in an attached bassinet. My wife and 1-year-old daughter sleep on a full-size mattress on the floor every single night, literally. There's no room for me either, so I've slept by...

    Dad of 1-year-old with news of another on the way...

    Need 5 posts before I can start the thread that I registered for in the first place, so here I am. One-year-old daughter, and learned on Monday that at least one more is scheduled to arrive 9 months from now.

    Would you rather #3...

    Execute me. When you're dead, you're dead, and you don't know or care. You're just GONE. Oh, wait. Prisons are almost like resort hotels these days with exercise, TV, decent meals, etc. Sign me up.

    Stupid recalls...

    I agree completely. How about the Similac recall? A few harmless bug parts were found in a very small percentage of containers made at one plant, but to avoid frivolous lawsuits, they recalled and destroyed tons of perfectly good formula It was completely gone from store shelves for at least...
