My daughter is 2. Her bedroom is at the top of a very steep stairwell, and she wanders at night. So my husband and I asked some other parents we know for advice and they suggested a small clasp hook for her door (on the outside) to keep her in her room during the night. We have an intercom system in our home, which she knows how to use and uses, and we have a baby monitor in her room as well, so we are always monitoring her. Before we put the hook on her door, one night she laid on the top step and went back to sleep, a very dangerous position, and another time went downstairs and got into the fridge and made a huge mess during the night. We feel this is for her own safety, but my mom says it's abuse to lock her in at night. Who is right here?
Alrighty..so we've come to it, our second child will be ready for a bed by this summer, I swear, it feels like I just had her about a month ago, lol. We have a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house. Its roomy enough for us, but not enough for the accumulation of toys and clothes our two girls have collected. (we have an 8 year old, as well as her soon to be 2 year old sister) we are planning on going through the toys and getting rid of at least half (I think it will end up being more like a fourth? but we're trying to be optimistic here.) anyway..we have two options here. One..keep the 2 year old in her own room, and buy a dora bedroom in a box toddler set. or option b….our 8 year old has a bunkbed..that can come apart and act as two twin size beds..and they are antique..so they are actually as high up off the floor as a toddler bed is..along with rails on the side. so we could possibly take the bunk apart, and place the beds side by side in one room for the girls to share while moving all they're toys into the baby's room and making it into a playroom. Our 8 year old is okay with sharing a room with her sister..because she knows I mostly keep the baby downstairs with me..so in the days when she has a friend over, she knows for the most part the baby won't be up there to interfere..but in all acutality? she doesn't fuss when the baby does interfere or try to include herself in with her sisters playmates….so I'm putting it out there to see what other parents would do…let each child keep they're own room and buy the toddler a toddler set…or let them share a room and make a play room?
wanted to add…the staying awake isn't a problem..both girls could sleep through and earthquake..in fact they have once already..and our toddler as slept through the night since we brought her home. so thats not actually a problem. as for the sleepovers..my 8 year old does not have those..and in the off chance she ever does..we have no problem letting the baby camp out with us for that night. We also have no problem moving them back to they're own rooms in say two years from now when our oldest is getting to her teen ages..if we don't move by then and get a bigger house of course. but I appreciate everyones opinion and love seeing and hearing what other parents in our situation have done. So thanks!
I started out thinking that this twin thing was so easy. I didn't have colicky infants and they always ate and slept together. I feel so blessed and love my babies! Around 6 months they stopped napping together and now that they are walking they are like tornadoes. I can't go to the park or kids gym by myself. they work together to get into dangerous things. My house is very babyproofed, so now I don't like to leave the house. The safety harnesses don't work. They both lie on the floor and scream if I put them on them. I am SO freaking tired all the time. What is my question? I guess I just need some ideas or some encouragement. I feel like no one understands . Or maybe you are all fine and I just need a nap.
Thank you all for your answers. I personally think a safety harness is better than my kid running away. Why not be a little less judgmental on other parents since everyone's children are different? I also can't nap during the day because they do not nap at the same time anymore. Even if I struggle with the awake one and try to get them to go to sleep. It doesn't work and they are learning No (14 mos), but pretty much not fazed by it at this point. I like a lot of your suggestions though and I will start using the daycare at my gym and I like the toy idea as well!
