"Rex is still out of town. He&amp;#039;ll be back late tonight. As usual, it was fun having the place to myself for a few days. But now I&amp;#039;m ready for a real life adult to dwell in my bed. Three nights of either my daughter, my son, or last night the crazy &amp;quot;both willl sleep with Mommy it will be a camp-out&amp;quot; occurred. I&amp;#039;m stating for the record that right now, after only 7 hours of sleep, I am NOT a happy camper. Sadly, I need about 9 to function. I serioulsy don&amp;#039;t understand how parents get a good night&amp;#039;s rest with their kids in between them - let alone sex. I totally understand the concept of co-sleeping - how it makes the child feel safe and bonded and all that - but how does a wife feel bonded to her husband or vice versa? How does the sex happen? How does the late night talks happen or even the simple arm squeeze from across the bed without fear of waking up the sleeping five year old who has to get up for kindergarten the next day? I have several friends who still let their kids crash with them nightly - we&amp;#039;re talking first graders. These children are fabulous and the parents seem really happy with it. I simply can&amp;#039;t imagiine it for myself. There is some irony in the fact that I needed to have sex to have kids, but now that I have kids, I need them gone to have sex. Life is funny that way. So, tell me, what do you think about the whole &amp;quot;kids crawling into bed&amp;quot; deal? Why does it work and why doesn&amp;#039;t it work? And even more to the point - does it interfere with the sex life? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
