Still Co-Sleeping at Almost 5 — And I’m Not Ashamed
As a full-time single parent with a wild schedule, I can honestly say: I love having my daughter sleep next to me.I know society sometimes tries to make parents feel ashamed for co-sleeping past toddlerhood, but I’m not ashamed—not even a little. She’s almost 5 now, and if she still wants me close for comfort and security, I'm absolutely going to soak up every moment.There’s such a deep peace in knowing she’s right here beside me if she has a bad dream, or if anything happens in the middle of the night. We’re both safe and connected, and that means everything to me.And yes, she has her own room—ready and waiting for whenever she decides she’s ready. But until then, I’ll hold her close without apology.If you’re in the same boat, just know you’re not alone. 💕Edit:For those who disagree, that’s okay. You raise your kids your way, and I’ll raise mine my way. No need for judgment here. Comfort, trust, and love are how I’m choosing to parent—and every family gets to decide what works best for them. #SingleParentLife #CoSleeping #ParentingWithoutShame #MomLife #CherishTheMoments #Parenting
