ah, my mother; baby names

Email subject line: How many mothers and grandmothers

Content: Are discussing the article "Whose Bed is it Anyway?"
in today's NYT. Don't all those exhausted families
sound silly and wimpy? And don't their bedrooms seem
too fancy for them to deserve everything going right.
Too bad raising good kids, kids with boundaries, isn't
their top priority...Can you imagine sharing your bed
with 5 year old Dillopie?????And 8 year old Casper?
Oops you mean you intend to?
Actually, the part of the article I did like was the
statement by the mental health pro that setting
boundaries for children is important and the bedtime
is a part of that. KEep up the good work! (KEep
trying, that is.)
Do not be offended by this message. IT is meant to be
funny.
love, D

Note to mother (and everyone else watching): If you have to SAY "Do not be offended; this is meant to be funny," maybe you should just keep quiet.

I haven't even read the article yet. Ugh.

But I do think that expediency drives this issue. I know that with Emmett we just about killed ourselves keeping him in his crib. It just took so much time to get him back down to sleep every night. Forty-five minutes to an hour, and that was so disruptive of your sleep pattern. And even if you did get him down, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't wake up ninety minutes later.

Seriously. I want my bed back, but you know, I don't want to blow all my vacation days JUST trying to get my kid to sleep without me.
