You let your dog sleep on top of your children?!? You deserve the back pain!
And the fact she just called them “Child #1″ and “Child #2″.
Simply deserves it!
Riiiight, because a good parent would *never* try to let her kids stay anonymous when she’s posting about them on a popular website.
Yeah. But the dog thing is funny.
This is easy to fix… put the dog on the floor and the kids in their own bed.
You’ve obviously never had all-night stand-offs with young children. It’s bad enough when there’s just one of them, but two kids have this magical ability to team up to defeat you.
The dog? I have no idea, I hate dogs. This is one of my reasons why.
bad parent.
Since you have all the facts you could ever need to make that call, I won’t even argue it.
It’s just so weird that cutting out all the unnecessary bedtime drama actually makes our relationship that much more enjoyable… Since I’m such a bad parent and all…
benadryl
OMG you are the ONE!
This is horrifying.
An idiot that doesn’t “like” dogs…prolly voted for that idiot obama too…f*****g liberal idiot!
Could you be any more obvious with the trolling?
I’m not 100% sure why ‘like’ is in quotation marks…
What are you insinuating?
Who the f**k is prolly, and WHAT, may i ask, have you got against him/her?
abbreviation: a shortened or contracted form of a word or phrase, used to represent the whole.
grammar nazi doesn’t know how to capitalize “I”. a pity =(
And you, who just made such a statement, forgot to capitalize the “A”.
And you, who just corrected such a statement, forgot to leave the period inside the parentheses.
And you, who just corrected that statement, forgot that those are called quotation marks, not parentheses.
Dogs suck! Cats rule!!!!!!
I have 2 children and they both have always slept in their own beds. Keeps a good relationship between me and my husband and keeps my kids from having “issues” later.
Funny, in my experience the husband to wife bed ratio is about the opposite.
ditto
OK, the dog might not be so bad, but sharing the bed with three other humans as well? Dude. I can’t sleep with one other person in the room, never mind three. Try sleeping in the kids’ room?
I hate this. My whole life is made of this scenario. First, when I was a baby, my brother and my two parents. Then, my three siblings in our own cramped bed. Then, my pregnant sister, her 2-year-old child, and her toy poodle.
Recently, this has included a stint of me, two girls in skimpy lingerie, and whoever else decided to join us. After that was my friend, her husband, and their dachsund…
Gott in himmel, I need to really get my own place to sleep.
no offense but you don’t need to rant in comments. go get a blog or a myspace page for gods sake! nobody reads all that crap anyway
Your sarcasm detector seems to be broken. Here’s a hint: When somebody’s complaining about sharing a bed with “two girls in skimpy lingerie, and whoever else decided to join us,” they’re probably not being serious.
Replace the dog with two cats, and that’s me.
Gross.
Cats are much better and cleaner than dogs, so how is that gross?
this picture is my life and i feel your pain. anyone who doesnt get this has definitely never had an all-nighter with small children who are thirsty, scared of the dark, or lonely in their rooms!
Just because you couldn’t keep your kids in their own bed doesn’t mean other parents can’t. Don’t excuse your weakness with “if they don’t get it that means they’ve never had to deal with…”. It’s just not true.
Suddenly feel like I should go tell my mom I love her…
Our dog was a Rottweiler and we were three kids…
That is one skinny woman.
This.
And a really fat dog.
That, or her entire family has an obesity complex.
i don’t even wanna know where the faces and genitals are in this graph…
Why not? I do.
Don’t have kids! People who have children deserve this.
This could be a condom ad.
You are extremely tall and skinny, and everyone else is fat?
sucks 4 her
Why are your kids about five times as wide as you?
Cut off the pinocha and then see what a difference THAT makes…
Hahha I agree with some of the people on here… if you were a better parent and a better pet owner, they would sleep in their designated places.
You’re obviously not a parent. Kids don’t stay in their beds. And our family cat sleeps on our bed most of the time.
Hmm, funny. When I was a kid, I stayed in my own bed. And if I didn’t, I certainly didn’t get let into my parents bed. But then I guess you know best, being a parent. Nobody who isn’t a parent could know as much as you.
I let my cat sleep in the bed with me if I’m alone and it’s cold. There’s no way the cat is getting in the bed with my partner and I.
Well, my daughter does get up sometimes, but she hardly ever actually sleeps in our bed. There are other battles I’ve lost (or won, but with so much hassle and drama that they weren’t worth repeating), though, so I’m not about to call “bad parent” on somebody just because they let their kid sleep in their bed.
The dog’s not allowed on the bed while I’m there, though. This is fairly easy to accomplish by closing the door with the dog on the other side of it. That’s more of a preference, though, and I don’t think people are bad pet owners for letting their pets on the bed. If they like having their pets sleep in their beds, how is that anybody else’s business?
I wouldn’t call them a bad parent, but weak certainly fits. I mean, if you can’t control a toddler what are you going to do when you have a teenager?
It’s not about being “weak” or not being able to control a toddler… my kids love to cuddle. For the most part, they sleep through the night. But if my 2 1/2 year old has a bad dream, then okay. If there’s a bad storm outside and they’re all terrified, then yeah, they’re going to be in the bed. I’m still nursing my 17-month-old twins, so they’re in bed with us every morning.
gross
What exactly is gross?
The teenager, you *know* understands every word you’re saying. The toddler, not so much. So you can throw the book[*] at the teen more easily. Also the teen is less free with the hitting.
[*] Not literally, you trolling morons.
As a parent of 3… this is so true! Just add child #3 and replace “dog” with “cat” and you’ve got my bed on a sunday morning. Although usually, at least one of the kids is sprawled on top of me.
This was us many years ago. Now the three children are all grown up and we’re down to just a cat on the bed.
I guess some of the people who left comments never heard of co-sleeping and breast feeding on demand.
Breast feeding on demand… this is precisely why I often have one of my little ones in the bed! We don’t always sleep like this.
I dont understand how quick you are all to jump down someones throat and call someone a bad parent. Thats sad! Parents should make there children feel comfortable, supported, & secure. I myself let averyone tell me children shouldnt be in your bed Well thats what I was told growing up. My oldest child screamed every night, vomited and even pooped herself. I ended up having no sleep evey night by forcing her to go back to her bed like a good little girl as IT WAS WRONG in society. After 6 years of this I kid you not. I let her get in my bed OMG we all slept the night again. Instead of waking everyone up in the whole house, she would slip into my bed. Now she doesnt want to be in my bed and sleeps all night. I was lying there thinking how easy this could have been and guess what I was exactly the same as a kid. I would sneak into my mothers room only to be caught by my dad. He would grab me scare the crap out of me, more than the nightmares i had just had. He would tell me “kids dont belong in their mothers beds” etc. All that has been said on here. I was told off, sent back to my room , even threatened. I was so frightened all I needed was someone to make me feel secure. Instaed I lay there in my room scared out of my mind crying histericaly into my pillow so my dad wouldnt come and smack me for having nightmares. No I didnt go back to sleep as that was what I feared, dreams. So I sat up in my bed curtain open praying for daylight to come. I went to school like this every day. Tired, depressed but most of all confused why my parents abandoned me when I was most fightned.
or maybe they’ve heard of separate beds
Just because some parents use separate beds, doesn’t mean all parents have to.
So you sleep with boxes as your kids, dog, and husband? You depict your self as skinny. *facepalm* This graph needs to burn in hell! with your box family also! >:D
I slept with my mother untill I was 10. I’m perfectly normal and I’m not ‘troubled’ in any way. For those of you that said they are bad parents and wouldn’t be able to handle teens think again. I’m 15. Never got a bad grade in my life. Do all my chores every day and my mom always handles my problems.
you’re sick
It’s a cultural thing, kind of. My (white American) friend and her brother all shared a bed with their mom until… well, until the girl was 16, and the brother who is 11 or so still sleeps with his mom. They are messed up people, though, lots of separation issues there.
However, another friend of mine (Indian) has a 15 year old brother… Those two and their mother live in Canada, but their father still works in India. The mother and son still sleep in the same bed most of the time; the mother can’t sleep without someone beside her… Otherwise hey’re normal as can be.
u must have a pretty square family.
nice
Co-sleeping is more common than not, looking at the trajectory of human society. It was only in the Victorian period that co-sleeping began to disappear in European/Euro-American middle and upper class families. What most Americans consider the norm (sleeping part from one’s children) is uncommon in many parts of the world. It is a sign of adherence to a particular period in human history and, even more so, to a particular culture or group of cultures. To claim that practicing co-sleeping is in any way unhealthy or wrong – or ‘bad parenting’ – is to show cultural narrow-mindedness and inflexibility in thinking. Also, I am well aware that MANY American parents practice co-sleeping on what they feel is an as-needed basis. It’s really common here, too. It’s just that very few feel free to admit it, since many people, in their ignorance and judgmental habits, love to call them ‘bad parents’. Good parents are those who make choices that best suit the children and the lifestyle of the family and are flexible according to the changing needs of a growing family.
Well said! I couldnt agree more about co sleeping you are spot on about the history too. It needs to suit individual families & mostly the needs of the child. I am amazed also at the Bad Parent lable. I was labled this too.
My parents were the bad parents. The ones that made me feel insecure, scared abandoned, and those of you that think TOUGH Love is the way to go. You are so wrong I lived the tough love life as the child.
I do believe that the dog on the bed! I am sure could go.
Rosemond calls those societies primitive. He has some good ideas, but that one’s just stupid.
Your anorexia might be contributing to your back pain.
Who cares she should be in the kitchen anyways………..
why is the dog huge do you have a mastiff or something, nice fat kids now you regret feeding them all that food don’t you, is your husband the great khali or something and you must be flat-chested barbie and your bed looks like trash
Because nobody would ever exaggerate for effect, or use simple shapes instead of detailed drawings. *eyeroll*
Also, I think my dog would probably be roughly that size in relation to my husband and child, and he’s a black lab, not a mastiff (in other words, definitely a large dog, but not freakishly huge.) Actually, the general proportions in the graph could be close to accurate, assuming the graphmaker is thin and lying on her side, and everyone else is on their backs with their limbs spread out. She probably wouldn’t really be *that* skinny in that scenario, but as I said, it’s an exaggeration. The whole *point* is that she’s scrunched into a tiny space.
God, yes people are so frikkin stupid sometime
Wow, my hats off to ya. I child is 16 months and if she wakes up in the middle of the night she’ll sleep with me. replace the ‘dog’ and add three cats on a full bed. Your a good mom. I would’ve slept on the floor when it got to that.
