  I totally agree with yogurt lover on this. WOW what a bunch of naive people!!!

  I find it interesting to see that a lot of the ones that are making excuses and saying it's "OK", are now single or divorced women. I wonder if there is a correlation between this and the type of personality one might have in order to ruin their kids life and thier marriage,(let alone any chance of a normal relationship) all because it feels good to cuddle with their kids?

  Give me a freakin break!

  All the cuddleing is ruining your child!!Trust me, you WILL have behavorial problems stemming from this unhealthy interaction later down the line. At any age is is not right, but at an older age it's scary bad! Especially the implications it makes about the postion of rank among the family unit.

  It has to be that the parents have UNITED control over the children or else the family structure tends to systematicly breakdown. Putting the kid in the bed and then the dad on the couch is now a perfect example of showing that child that he or she is above the rank of the father figure in that family unit. Therefore distancing and further immasculating him and in the end, causing the child to act out more against the judgement and will of the parents.

  It can be about everything from chores to cleaning their room. The child sees themselves as an equal or somehow above the rationale of what the parents will explain as reasons to take on certain unpleasant life tasks. That means that the kids not believe truly that they don't have to listen, or that one parent doesn't matter at all, and the other is easily manipulated. And guess what... IT'S YOUR FAULT DUMMY!!!

  Ya'll need to be careful out there, sleeping with you now can mean more than just a crappy attitude, talking back, and acting out in public if they don't get their way. It can mean that they loose all respect for your descion making abilities, think they can do better because they are now equals with an adult, so now they are pregnant at 15, or worse...

  CUT THE CORD ALREADY!!!!! BE A PARENT! and I'm not saying be mean either. Like use your parental wisdom and make acceptions for the sick and scared. Every night if they are sick or scared then they should be sleeping in a hospital bed, not yours.
