WOH and sleeping issues
| Sun, 05-22-2005 - 10:34am |
We were at a dinner party last night at the home of one of dh's coworkers. They have 2 boys, 6 and 4. They have a bunch of sleeping issues (kids 'scared' at night, won't fall asleep in their own bed, won't go to bed without mom or dad cuddling them, etc.) The mom blames herself because since she works all day and misses them so much she tends to cuddle with them late at night and they fall asleep in a pile on the bed all together. She said that if she SAH, they wouldn't have the same issues.
I sah. For us, bed time is a rigid, welcome respite at the end of the day. Dh has no desire to keep them up either, lol.

That sounds great.
Your post reminded me of a conversation I had with my neighbor last year. Her daughter is 6 and I said, "Oh, has she been to a sleepover party yet?" Because I LOVED sleepovers as a kid and I bought a trundle bed for Aspen with the potential of sleepovers in mind. She said, "Nooooo...dh won't ever allow her to sleepover and most people don't do that anymore....too many creeps out there and *you never know*."
And I was thinking, "Oooohhhh noooooo..." lol. Sigh. We'll see.

TO Dogma and/or PNJ:
But are they lower expectations, or just realistic expectations?
I had the impression you lived in DC and not on a deserted island. Maybe you really should move to Syracuse. There are many, many people here I find enjoyable that I see on a regular basis. (But maybe I just have low expectations.)
Really, though, why pine over no longer having thousands of coeds with whom to party when you aren't interested in partying with thousands of coeds?

Yes, but only because mom thought that dad would respect her opinion if she were employed.
