Sharing a bedroom with toddler

My LO is nearly 2 and we still share a room. I haven’t got an extra bedroom yet but even if I did, I feel like I’ll never be ready to transition him. I love sleeping next to my baby but sometimes I feel like people are so judgy. He has a periodic fever syndrome so we get high fevers every 2 weeks and with him being poorly we end up cuddling in bed every other week, so I feel it just wouldn’t work with him being alone in his room. Does anyone else still sleep in the same room as their toddler and get judgy comments?

Yes people always say he should be in his own room now etc but we ignore them and sleep together, issue I'm having at the moment is he wants to stay latched to me all night which has really hurt my neck and shoulder so much, the same as having him. Over my shoulder and he will only rest one side. It's making me feel sick and ill. He's ending up Sleeping two to three hours then instead of cuddling me and sleeping he's going hysterical and getting up 2am each night refusing anything but boob and over the shoulder and I can't do it anymore so hoping he settles soon

@Steamtrane Family I try to ignore it, just bothers me why people feel the need to put their 2 pence in all the time. The neck and shoulder pain I can completely relate to, I get that too when we are cuddling at night. Must be difficult for you to get a good nights sleep but I applaud you for doing your own thing and ignoring negative comments

My girl is over 2 yrs old and we cuddle every night. We don't have any extra room and I don't care right now anyways I love her being with me. It's not always easy as she is a light sleeper and also ends up on my arm after about 2 hrs on her own space, but I imagine that's how most guys feel spooning their ladies lol.

My lg is nearly 2, we have her own room, but guess what she’s in ours! For two reasons it’s easier to deal with her in the night bcos once we get up walk into another room I struggle to get back to sleep but also because we can’t imagine waking up and her not standing there saying mammy glasses and handing me my glasses from the side table 🥲 I’m lucky my partner wants her close too we will have to move her if we have another but for now she’s with us I’m sick of peoples opinions

My kids have always shared our bed since they were infants. My two oldest are 7 and 8 and they are only now this year sleeping in their own beds in their own room. My 3 year old still sleeps with me and I love it!! I never meant to co sleep, it kind of just happened and I tell people proudly. The older your kids and you get the less you care about what other parents think or say. The best thing you can do for YOUR family is to do what’s best for YOUR family, screw the haters…👏🏾😁

i still co sleep with my 3 yr old and now my 4 month old. 🫶 i love it so much. of course people have their opinions but i just listen and ignore and do what i want lol. this is what works for all of us to get better sleep at night… it’s not like me co sleeping with my kids affects them, so idk why people have strong opinions but they do and its annoying lol

Yeah I know it's ridiculous how they have to try and make those of us not doing the quote usual thing do the same as them and it's like no I won't, show me what I signed to say I'd do any of these things you idiots. I am home schooling my son, my parents don't know and the other week the neighbour comes round first thing she says is oh is he at Pre school yet and I was like no and my mum said beau is his cousin and then she looks at me and says what about nursery I was like nope not going to that institution 😅 then she said primary school then because he will have to go to that so which one you thinking I was like forest school he's going to forest school and various others things and my dad goes what she means is special school 🤔🤨😯 I was like no forest school what I said he then got mad because he doesn't know what it is, then he said to the neighbour he will go to the Holt which is the school up the road from my parents I said no he isn't, then my dad was so arsey from such he then said anyway 🤣
