I wish I would have let her cry it out and learn to sleep in her own bed. Six years later she is still sleeping with us. She will start out in her bed if one of us is laying with her to go to sleep, but by the end of the night she is in bed with us. I just keep telling myself she won't want to sleep with us when she is a teenager! I hope....
Only when they have a terrible nightmare! DS16 had a horrific nightmare a few months ago. It was so bad he woke me up and asked if he could lay with me for a bit. He never did tell me what it was about but it must have been bad because he was never one to climb into bed with us often.
I think my only regret is not instilling chores in them early enough. I did most of them because I was home but now they make messes faster than I can clean them up and asking them to do chores is an uphill battle. They don't get that there is 4 of them and only one of me and something as simple as hanging up their coats or putting shoes away makes a huge difference.
