Sleeping with Children
by fefedawn, Aug 01, 2009 12:51PM
My question is I have been divorced for 1 1/2 now. My 6 yr old daughter and my 3 1/2 yr old son have had their own beds and bed room with Mom. Their Father has a small one bed room apt and live in girlfriend.
Aparently Dad and both children sleep in one big bed, while girlfriend sleeps on the couch.
What are the negitive sides to co sleeping with this arrangement?

It's not possible to say what the impact might be. The kids are young and the sleeping quarters are limited. Without knowing more about the situation and the persons involved, it would be unwise to speculate.
