We made the same decision when the oldest of our four daughters was 18 months old and never regretted it.

He wants you at night, BECAUSE he has you all day. Your his. You aren’t even your own person in his little mind. He knows how to deal with other people being separate from him, but absolutely not you. Unfortunately, I don’t have any tips for the sleeping or lack there of… I only did what I felt I could live with. (In all areas of parenting)

[...] ETA: As I fell asleep last night, I also realized that when this post began floating around in my head, I was subconsciously responding to this post by Her Bad Mother. [...]

I just stumbled across your blog a few weeks ago…and I LOVE this. It is so beautifully written and it was our struggle, too, until our surrender. I am right there with you!

Oh, I feel for you, and we made the same decision that you’ve made. Our girl’s 6 now and falls asleep on her own, usually in her own bed, and comes to ours in the middle of the night. There’s a recent post on bedtime routine at Are So Happy: http://aresohappy.squarespace.com/home/2009/11/30/the-bedtime-post.html, and while it’s very Waldorf-oriented, it offers much to think about.

I don’t hate anyone whose kids sleep through the night. Far from it: it gives me HOPE.

I’m still looking. I’m just not fighting. Because, yes.
