As I parent I would never ever sleep with my child I think it's dangerous and sure people say "oh that's why they recommend blah blah" but bottom like I can pretty much squish my kid so that a go go.

It's hard to discipline being preventative instead reactive when kids test boundaries all the time and ESPECIALLY when they know they can get away with it. You need to discipline lovingly but some think time outs are harsh and some this a good old spanking works the best. If AP is so amazing how is everyone parent butchering it and when you mention it to parents who don't they think its the craziest idea. The way I see it there is no need for a child to sleep with a parents cribs/playpens were invented for a reason.

Either way all I know is unless a napping routine is established no way no how anyone is coming here even if that means I have 1 kid.

I think it has been butchered over time the same reason we have begun raising children to think they are the super best-est at everything they do even when (if not especially when) they SUCK at it lol. We've gone so far into this movement of children first that we are, in my strong opinion, setting them up to fail miserably when they are adults. No, you don't deserve a sticker when you get 1 out of 10 on your spelling test. No, you don't get to win every game you play to prevent you from crying and feeling bad about yourself. Yes we should celebrate children's strengths and make them feel good about themselves but they need to know they suck at other things and that if they don't try they won't ever improve. Children need to know that they upset, disappoint and hurt others other wise we are just raising about of uncaring narcissistic terrors that will someday rule our world (Lord help us).

I'm only 33 but I can't help but wonder how far society is going to stoop (and suck) before we start to swing back to a reasonable place! Where we raise children with expectations and boundaries.
