We are a co-sleeping family-or were-Landen decided way earlier than the other boys to move to his own bed-at about 3 or so.
The TV was never an issue because well-we didn't have one at that time-we do now-which is a different story.
If it causes trouble in your marriage then it's probably best to move her.
I always told Scott-we will have so many years after they are gone to have the bed to ourselves, but the time we have with them is so short-I want to have them as close to me for as long as they will let me.
I still take this stance-my big boys still come and crawl into bed with me some mornings-and I don't mind one bit.
Even at 17 & 15 they still remember their time in the family bed fondly.

That's exactly what we say, too!! They're little for such a short time... they'll only want to be snuggly in your bed for a teeny portion of their life! I love waking up with my boys!

We didn't cosleep per say, but I would always nurse in bed and usually just fall asleep with them in my arms. lol. We always had them really close since I was always bf-ing until at least a year. I miss those days!

We have snuggle time in the mornings...DS comes downstairs and climbs in with me and I give Ella bottle in bed while DH gets ready for work but I don't let them in the bed with me at night..I need my space lol DS slept with me briefly when DH was deployed b/c I got so big and pregnant I was worried I couldn't get upstairs to him if I needed to quick enough but after Ella was born he started sleeping upstairs again.

She's old enough - it's okay!! I know how you feel, though. Alex was only r4 months old when we went down to Florida for what was our (former) five or six month stay. He got used to his new room fast.....and as a mom, you hear ANYTHING that sounds troublesome during the night. You'll do fine Nikki....

My ds just stopped sleeping with us a few months ago. He decided on his own he was ready to go to his bed, though I was glad he did. He was always so squirmy and now that he's pushing 3, he was getting big for all the kicking. I still let him in when he wakes on occasion.

I am right there with you. My 18 month is still in our bed, and by 3 or 4 am, our 3 year old is in there, too. We also consider our bed a family bed.
