Last week while lying next to a very sick Blue Eyes as he tried to fall asleep I realized that if we were actually MEANT to sleep apart from our children (and apart from each other as humans in relationship at all), then why is it that the first thing we do in an intimate relationship is start sharing our sleep space?! If sharing sleep were not important in a relationship, then married couples would sleep in separate beds and in separate rooms. I realize, of course, that some people do this, but it's not the norm. So, if we crave that closeness as adults and *need* it to foster intimacy with our spouses, why on earth do we think that children should sleep all alone?! It just doesn't seem to make any sense.....
Like I said, not a very deep thought, but a thought nonetheless (and somewhat rambly, too!) ;)
