We have a baby and a four-year old. My wife sleeps with the children in our king-sized futon bed. I haven't slept with them for ages there just isn't room in the bed ... and I am starting to feel somewhat lonely, and wondering when I'll get to sleep with my wife again! (In the literal sense, that is! We do manage to snatch the odd child-free moment for t'other sort of sleeping together ...) Should we try to get our older child into her own bed? Or will she eventually want to sleep on her own without our intervention?
