I guess that would sway my opinion (although not to the point of being legally unfit). I agree with you, although I missed where the 2-year-old was wanting to sleep by themselves. I assumed the 2 year old was wanting to sleep with the parents.

Even if the two-year-old is wanting to sleep in the same room as the parents, my point is that the mother is allowing it instead of making the child sleep in his room, and is overriding the father's authority in the matter.

So, since "most of the world" works a certain way, we in America should have open sewers running through the streets and quit wiping our ass with toilet paper, like most of the world does...typical third-world answer from a third-world dumbass.

Besides, Einstein, the discussion is not about having elderly parents live at home with their kids so that the kids can help provide for their parents in the later stages of their life...I support that idea wholeheartedly. Rather, it's about having a kid who is clearly old enough to sleep in his own room---and in this case actually has his own room--instead sleep in the same room as his parents. There's no reason why this mother shouldn't be letting her two-year-old sleep alone. The mother's actions are not normal.

So not normal means unfit mother? Uh sure. :roll1: Like to see somebody as stupid as you try the "She lets the 2 year old kid sleep with her in bed, so please take the kids away" defense.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between sleep arrangements and claims regarding possible problems and benefits related to co-sleeping. Participants were 83 mothers of preschool-aged children. Data were collected through parent questionnaires. Early co-sleepers (who began co-sleeping in infancy), reactive co-sleepers (children who began co-sleeping at or after age one), and solitary sleepers were compared on the dimensions of maternal attitudes toward sleep arrangements; night wakings and bedtime struggles; children's self-reliance and independence in social and sleep-related behaviours; and maternal autonomy support. The hypothesis that co-sleeping would interfere with children's independence was partially supported: solitary sleepers fell asleep alone, slept through the night, and weaned earlier than the co-sleepers. However, early co-sleeping children were more self-reliant (e.g. ability to dress oneself) and exhibited more social independence (e.g. make friends by oneself). Mothers of early co-sleeping children were least favourable toward solitary sleep arrangements and most supportive of their child's autonomy, as compared to mothers in other sleep groups. Reactive co-sleepers emerged as a distinct co-sleeping sub-type, with parents reporting frequent night wakings and, contrary to early co-sleepers, experiencing these night wakings as highly disruptive. Implications for parents and pediatricians are discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Interesting! I suggested to an attractive lady friend that she should send her 5 year old to her own bed so she, the lady friend, could make her lucky husband know they were still a couple and re-light the fire.
She agreed! Damn lucky guy! :tongue2:

So, you take some bimbo's "Research Article" comprised of 83 "questionnaires" given only to mothers (none to fathers) of pre-school children as the sole crutch for your argument. No wonder you're still taking shit samples on the night shift in Pittsburgh. Paging Dr. Loser... :slappy:

Spoken like a true 1950s Neanderthal. "father's authority"

No wonder you use racial slurs all the time and are scared by gay stewards.

Oh, so you have no problem with the mother having sole "authority" over the children and the father having no "authority" at all. Well, I hope you and your wife plan to adopt (or have the UPS guy bang her), because you won't have any children since you have no balls. :slappy:

I guess all those PHDs who stress the role of a father figure in the stability of a child's development are full of shit. :roll1:

I'd say the mother needs to understand parenting is not one sided in marriage. The father needs to grow a set. Example: Dad and Mom are husband and wife first! Kids are surely precious, but children are part of the family circle, NOT the center of the family circle. Time for the father to be a leader, not a rebel.
