maybe I should have had dogs instead of kids....LOL[/quote]
Not to sound anti-child, but animals make the best kids...except for when they mess on the rug! They always love you, they don't give you any lip, no parent/vet conferences, they don't run with the wrong crowd, and they're always glad to see you come home! Oh, and you don't get looked at sideways when you mention they sleep in your bed with you either!
I'm a firm believer that children need their own bed to sleep in and should sleep there, by the way, and have always practiced that.
