Well, that was stupid. Anyone who has ever tried to sleep in the same bed as children knows they will kick the crap out of you during the night. Not to mention they can sleep through pretty much anything once they knock out.

When my daughter was little she was like a normal little kid while awake and a human windmill while asleep. I woke up to her laying across my face, sometimes toes jammed up my nose, her laying completely sideways along the length of my headboard.

I hope they aren't old enough to really understand what happened. Though I can't see how waking up to a dead infant in your bed can be anything other than pure trauma to any age of child.

I don't know if I believe the story of co-sleeping with other children.

Me either sugar cookie. I think they don't want to admit it was the parents.

If so, that's actually more fucked up than just stupidly co-sleeping. To let your other kids believe they killed a baby somehow.
