Shanti: Yes! Same here! I never felt able to wake my parents at night either so often suffered in silence... also one of the reasons DH and i always keep our bedroom door open and co-sleep too! My 4yo still comes into our bed if he wakes up cold or scared... just the way i think it ought to be But shhh, i'd never tell my parents!
Same here! My Mum can't believe she's still in our bed, let alone bedroom yet I wouldn't have it any other way!! Can't imagine how scared she would be without me in her own room as I remember being scared of shadows on the wall!!
