Three's a Crowd; Four's a Pain in the Ass
Why do some people figure out how to put their kids to bed at a reasonable hour, and then more importantly why do these same kids stay in bed all night?
It is a mystery.
My kids are three and six, and I am a horrible parent. At least when it comes to sleeping.
Every night, my husband and I go to bed alone. And every night we are mysteriously joined by two warm bodies, and let me tell you that even with a king sized bed, that is a lot of people in bed with me.
Every morning I wake up aching from sleeping in strange contorted positions, and with enough space between me and my husband that I have to wave to him from my side of the bed.
In the last six years since we had our first, we have had one night, I think, of sleep where no one joined us in bed.
