How has CIO affected you??

[Heaven]

I don't know how anybody could pinpoint what effects being left to cry had on their lives. Parenting styles and events will influence other aspects of your life, but i don't think you can just pick out one part (CIO) and say this caused x,y,z.

True, we will never know for certain but I just wanted to know peoples opinions. It can definitely effect attachment.


That does make sense boomba. That's sad about those kids
I hate that line too, you can't argue with it, you can't say for sure what impact it has had and if you do it's pretty rude coz you're basically saying well your kids have these problems and it's all your fault! lol.

As a child we knew better than to go into mum and dads room during the night. I shared a room with my little sister. But I remember feeling scared of ghosts a
and nightmares and desperaty wanting my mum. Sometimes I would sit outside her bedroom door just for company. The other side could be to ask people who did cosleep with their parents how they felt about their experince -in my expperience they always talk about it warmly and positively.
When I had my first child I definately wasn't going to co-sleep -my children weren't going to rearrange my organized life. Luckily my first was a very persisten and patient boy who taught me different. Co-sleeping is one of the most precious experiences I've had with my children
