I ...I don't think this post was judgemental at all. I think the author expressed her honest opinion. What's wrong with that? Personally I will never understand why some people have a burning desire to have a child. I think they're crazy to want to be parents. I can say that, it's my opinion. I'm not saying that they are wrong, or that they ARE crazy.

I wrote about it because it is something that I completely do not understand because it amplifies the 24/7-ness of parenting, which is my main opposition to doing so myself. I talk about it because I'm really intrigued that I find it so horrifying, and I'm kind of exploring my own emotions about it. <BR/><BR/>They've started this now Stashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15440437922934786574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14816443.post-40327827918419881372007-11-25T19:15:00.000-08:002007-11-25T19:15:00.000-08:00While I typically love your blog, this post just f...While I typically love your blog, this post just felt very very judgmental to me. I also am childfree, and also have no desire for really any part of the kid experience. But I have two close friends who co-sleep love it... Particularly while breast feeding, they both feel it is so much easier to just roll over and offer the baby the nourishment it wants, rather than having to actually get out of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14816443.post-53370106961141987132007-11-24T23:18:00.000-08:002007-11-24T23:18:00.000-08:00I don't think this is new and modern at all.

Personally, I think sharing a bed with the baby is probably better for the baby's sense of well-being, a bonding experience, and if not, then it certainly won't hurt anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14816443.post-36426364481065873972007-11-20T09:06:00.000-08:002007-11-20T09:06:00.000-08:00I never heard of this arrangement till recently (p...I never heard of this arrangement till recently (past couple years). When I was younger, I don't think it was as common (or maybe I just never heard of it). Either way no one I know in my family was raised that way, so it's a very foreign concept to me. I wonder if historically this has been done in other cultures or if it's a new modern method of child raising.
