I had a tutor who was dating a woman who's 15 year old son would sleep with her and also walk around the house naked. G.R.O.S.S.!!! I told him that was freakish and wrong.. he said "oh well he's very small and immature" WTF does that have to do with anything?? People are whack.

I was dating AbusiveAsshole

I was dating AbusiveAsshole when my DD25 hit puberty. Seemingly overnight, she got some huuuuge boobs! That morning, I told her the days of running around the house in a tank with no bra and short shorts were OVER - I had two young boys in the house, plus my then BF.

She was mortified of those boobs anyway, so getting her to cover up was not even a little bit difficult

When puberty comes a'calling, alllllll bets are off, right???

I don't understand people who don't understand that!!

Very True ^^

I am not a fan of co-sleeping

I am not a fan of co-sleeping at any age, either. I am glad to hear you won't be one of the crunchy granolas who co-sleeps and breastfeeds til age 5

We do a little of each... BS6

We do a little of each... BS6 sleeps in his own bed, in his own room... but sometimes (maybe 3-4 times a week) he'll wake up sometime between 3-5 in the morning and he'll come across the hall and crawl in bed with us, I honestly don't mind it (kind of like it ) and DH could care less. I figure it won't be long before he wants nothing to do with us so I'll take a little snuggling while I can get it.

I would classify that more as

I would classify that more as snuggling than co-sleeping, and you're right - it will be over before you know it

There was a mom whose kid was

There was a mom whose kid was in preschool with Thing1 and Thing2. She had 8 kids at that time and went on to have a total of 10. We were at a very fancy private school that had a planetarium on a field trip one day. A very fancy private school with a world famous art collection and artist-in-residence program. Where even the pre-schooler boys word jackets as part of their uniform. It was very, very fancy.

And here come the public school preschoolers rollin' in for a planetarium show. With Mother Hubbard. And several of her small children. Three to be precise. Right there, at fancy pants school, she whips out a boob and starts feeding the baby. Ok, it's a baby. Then the 3 year old. Then the 4 year old - who announced she was hungry by saying "booby mom, booby time!"

I was like this - :jawdrop:

OMG - I DO remember that

OMG - I DO remember that poster. And, I remember how :jawdrop: and :sick: we all were - lol!!

Where's Jemma when you need

Where's Jemma when you need her? Wasn't she the one who was always posting craziness about breast feeding, strictly to incite a riot around here?

Shhh it's JEM and she's still

Shhh it's JEM and she's still around.

gasp so I am a half granola

*gasp* so I am a half granola I only breast fed until 6 months and I "co sleep" until 2. Cot in my room that attaches to my bed }:)

lol! Nah, doing those things

lol! Nah, doing those things doesn't even qualify you as 1/8 granola

Cot that attaches to your bed doesn't fall into my definition of co-sleeping.

Polly slept in my bed when I

Polly slept in my bed when I only had a 1 bedroom cottage for 2.5 years when I was trying to here my life on track and support my parents. So maybe 3/8 of a granola }:) Alas once I moved in with my douchey husband she went to her own bed like a dream.
