I've reached a new low in parenting

Yesterday I bought my dog a new, beautiful, soft, comfy dog bed for my little doggie. My daughter (who if you dont know has a ton of sleeping problems) took a liking to it and BEGGED me to sleep in it last night.

Somehow...still not sure how...but somehow my husband convinced me that maybe it would help her sleep better and said we should let her do it.

Well I gave in...and sure enough she had a great night...sleeping in her new doggie bed. Chat Icon Chat Icon

(ps...maybe this is a step up for us since she usually sleeps on the floor? Chat Icon )

ETA - the pertinent question being, DID YOU TAKE A PICTURE? This will serve as EXCELLENT bribery material during her difficult adolescent years Chat Icon

OMG let her sleep in it! My friend Elisa was having terrible trouble sleeping, and her daughter told her that she wanted to sleep on the landing, so she brought her blankets out there and for about a month she slept on the landing!

If she sleeps, she sleeps!!!
GO TALIA!!!!
(even in a dog bed)

In some countries dog beds are considered the height of luxury!!!

Then it's not a new low in Parenting. It's not like you gave her his old bed. Chat Icon

I know someone who was desperate to get her kid to eat. Her dd was going through the "I'm a puppy stage" & let her put her plate on the floor to eat when they were at home. Eventually she grew out of it (of the eating on the floor stage, not into an adult dog stage). There's a reason why every so often we eat like pirates in our house. As I said whatever it takes...Chat Icon

But we do need a picture....
