we did co-sleep until last year, and that was fine... but now want him to learn to sleep on his own. But I want him to be able to come and cuddle if he has a bad dream, etc....
I had terrible night terrors as a child, and it was made very clear to me that I ought not run to my parents, and they did not come when I called. I still remember hiding my head under the covers every night until I was 12 or so. I was so terrified, going to bed was awful for me. I want him to feel secure that I will answer him if he call, and not live in the fear that I did!
So the guilt monster is getting to me. If we had a bigger bed, and I had a different dh, I would be fine cosleeping. ARgh!
