I started co-sleeping with my daughter when she was a baby to get a good night’s sleep. Big mistake. She didn’t move out until she was 10......?

I don't have a problem with the co-sleeping but I do wonder why the husband is kicked out but maybe that's his choice to sleep elsewhere rather than be squished in a bed with his wife and son.

My son is 11 and still co-sleeps with me much to my annoyance. Every year since he's been about 4 I say that he shouldn't be in my bed anymore yet he's still there. I don't have a husband to worry about.

I do wonder why we are so insistent our children sleep alone yet when we are adults we mostly sleep with someone else.

I bloody hate sleeping alone!
My son was in my bed most nights until he was 7 and now he likes his own bed, it's not always a bad thing, if my kids were bad sleepers I'd prob do anything for a good nights sleep ?

My children never co-slept with us because my husband travels and when he gets home we want our own intimate time together. Our children get so much of us already and we are more then happy to give it to them. But we both recognize that in order for our marriage to function, we need that time to ourselves. You said it yourself, you are not married but if you had any kind of live-in, long-term relationship then I highly doubt your son would still be sharing a bed with you. As for your last statement, well, not every one who is married shares a bed with their spouse. My parents don't due to individual health problems. But even so, I'm not sure I understood the point you were trying to convey. Sharing a bed with your mate is quite different to sharing your bed with your children for several reasons. By the way, this is by no means an attack on people who co-sleep. I have plenty of friends who co-sleep. But once their children hit the age of 6 they do tend to cut them off. But that's what works best for them. You do what works best for you.

When my daughter was 20 months we went on holiday and she didn't want to sleep in the travel cot so slept with us, that carried over to sleeping between us for months after. Was. Real squash and I was pregnant, if we'd had a spare bed I'm sure my partner would have preferred to go in there. But we didn't so she slept between us for about six months. Was hard going so I sympatheise with her. Anything to get some sleep and have a quiet life at the end of the day.

Has she ever spoken about why he wakes up? Does he have nightmares, separation anxiety, etc?

In yesterday’s Insta she showed a pull out double sofa bed in Ethan’s room so maybe he camps on that.
That was in her girls room or I could be mistaken and she’s bought one for Ethan too. I know she bought a pink suede looking one for her daughters room and that was on stories

It's in Erin's room, but it's brand new, showing on stories yesterday was the ta-da, her room's done moment! Brummy did say he usually would sleep in Ethan's bed/on the sofa. Personally I don't see any issue with co sleeping, my daughter's just turned 4 and comes in with us sometimes, I'm currently pregnant so could do without her in the bed but hey ho! ? my youngest brother is nearly 8 and my mum says he still gets in with her pretty much every night!

Latest instagram is her talking all things “werk”. She’s planning to let the minions know how she became a success including tips such as “how I always want to work in bed but don’t”. Yes that is a direct quote

I still don’t understand how she can say it’s a full time job. She used to be a teacher for crying out loud. Can she not remember that she didn’t have time to watch teen mom and crap at school?

Have to admit the Disney obsession is a big factor in me going off of her. I’ve enjoyed our Disney holidays as a family Anabella had amazing tjmes in the resorts but I just don’t get any of the adult Disney bloggers who go so OTT.

As you say her children don’t even seem half as bothered about it as she is. I’m sure they do enjoy the holidays and have a fabulous time but the pressure for Disney is all hers.
Agreed I love the holiday it’s great and has something for everyone, but it’s only interesting when you’re actually going actually only the month before going and then we mainly watch vlogs as to what’s new ?‍♀

Not all children are the same some have anxiety and some simply refuse and will get back in even when put in their own bed .

The way these insta mum's bang on about mental health they really have no idea! Just because they have a few "bad days" try living on 3 different medications and attempting suicide to end up in hospital for days then we'll talk

This is really getting on my nerves lately. A lot of them are jumping on the mental health bandwagon and haven’t actually got a clue what having a real mental health problem is like

Oh didn't you know sitting around watching YouTube videos and going to a therapist about being a bit different to other vloggers IS a mental health issue!
