Can a son share a bed with his girlfriend, at 27? Then I agree with Torben. I'd find a hotel for the night--especially if they don't really seem to have a reason behind it. Are they maybe just uncomfortable with the idea? It's sometimes hard for parents to see their kids as adults with adult relationships and opinions--we call it "powdered butt syndrome" in our house :-D |

Can a son share a bed with his girlfriend, at 27? Are they REALLY asking you to sleep on the floor? I mean, no air mattress? No couch? I mean, I get that not everyone has a guest bed, but your mom is also opposed to you sleeping on the couch. I'm just wondering if you're not being a tad melodramatic in your assertion that they want you to sleep on the floor. Cause, personally, I find it more offensive that they expect you to sleep on the floor than that they've asked you to not sleep with your girlfriend. |

As a parent, how should I react to someone asking me for permission for Prom? +1 @balancedmama. This also allows the couple to have a bit of a date-before-the-prom-date. It sucks when prom is your first official date and you're all awkward and don't know what to say to the other person. Your daughter will thank you for that! :-D |

Should I expect a boy to ask me for permission for prom? I hope she finds a good boy and they have a great time together! Or maybe she'll just decide to go with a group of her friends instead and you won't even have to worry about it! :-D |

Son is two and won't sleep through night expecting to come to bed with us If he's still sleeping in his bed after the sun comes up, let him sleep! But it's pretty clear from the OP's post that the primary problem is a lack of agreement on the part of the parents as to how to handle the situation. Putting themselves on a firm, agreeable schedule might do more to remedy the situation than any sleep training ever could. |

Son is two and won't sleep through night expecting to come to bed with us @justkt: No, it won't work with all kids, but the OP was looking for suggestions and I know it's a method I've used with our kids with a good deal of success. Since the parent is the one who sets the time, it can be something as simple as "No coming to bed until the sun starts to come up". At the age of 2, this can easily be communicated to the child as, "No coming to mommy and daddy's bed until the sun starts to come up. Then you can come snuggle with us." By the time the sun is coming up, kids are starting to wake up anyway and the desire to sleep in the bed is lessened. |

What is a reasonable amount of time to wait before family visits your new baby? Well, and after about a week of self-imposed isolation, cabin fever sets in. Realistically, the only place you're going in the first two weeks is the pediatrician's office and it can get maddening not having much social interaction with anyone but your spouse and your (beautiful and amazing but non-verbal and much-sleeping) baby. Even if you don't get to leave the house, just having someone else to have an adult conversation with can be a life saver! |

What are the chances that my wife will give birth vaginally after having a caesarean section in a previous pregnancy? If you can't find an OB who will support your decision to attempt a VBAC (assuming you have low risk-factors), you might try finding a Certified Nurse Midwife instead. Once you find a practitioner, they should be able to direct you to a facility that would support you as well. |
