Guest guest Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 When Liv would get her short cast breaks we would just lay in bed cuddling all day! She wore casts for so long....I actually let her sleep with me til she was about 8/9 yrs old. She had been through so much medically and we both missed the skin on skin affection all those years...So, when my darling would ask " Can I sleep with you mommy " ? I would say heck ya! She obviously needed the extra affection and so did I. Only ignorant family members would judge saying how unhealthy it was for me to allow an older kid to sleep with me, but what the heck did they know?! They got to hug their children everyday....I didnt. By the time was she about 9.5 yrs old she wanted to sleep in her own bed. ~And, now I cant even get her to sit by me...ha! Fun with teenagers.
