Yes, it's unfair that our son sleeps in our bed, but this is not through choice. I don't want to make the same mistake again. I suppose your kids are perfect and sleep in their own beds every night. That's because all children are different. We got into the habit of letting him in our bed so as to not disturb the baby when he was young and now it's a hard habit to break.

If he wakes up at 6am and I get up at 6.30am on my working days, what should I do? Mess about for the next half hour until I get up and so wake up the rest of the house or let him in our bed so the rest of the house gets another hour's sleep?

Remember life is not always perfect and I was asking advice on whether she was ready for a bed, not on whether the whole family should sleep in the same bed.
