Pot, meet Kettle

by Jodifur on December 28, 2007

One of my biggest pet peeves in life is when people ask your opinion, argue with you, and then do what they want anyway. Well, I asked your opinion. I'm not going to argue with you, but I'm largely ignoring most of you.
I found a used twin race car bed on Craigslist and I'm buying it and I went to Target yesterday. On a side note, do not go there during the after Christmas sale unless you want to be trampled. But, I found way cheap toys and bought them for all the up coming birthday parties we have. The one problem with my playgroup is that all the kids were born 6 weeks apart and I have 12 parties coming up that all need gifts.
Oh right, point, I bought these sheets.
So, we are doing it, we are changing the room. Ironically, Michael went to a friends yesterday because my daycare is closed this week and I needed to work. He napped, 2 hours, in a big bed. He was asleep when I went to pick him up. He didn't nap the entire time we were at my in-laws. I think he's ready.
I'm not ready, but since when has that stopped children from growing up.

Those sheets are too cute!

And I know that you are nervous about the bed transition, but for us, it turned out to be much simpler than I ever imagined it would be. Here’s hoping that the same thing applies to you guys!

Oh, man, I feel like I missed out on the telling what you to do just to be later ignored. No matter, I did go read the original post to catch up on the whole discussion. I think it’s great that you are excited about it all. It is fun to plan, paint and redecorate a room.
With teens in the house, those Mom chooses the theme days are kind of long over…
Happy redecorating to you. Happy new bed to Michael!

He’ll do great – he’s ready and sometimes they can grow up faster for the greater good. That’s sort of my bottom line. If a kid wants to nurse or sleep with parents or do something that’s not really hurting him/her or the family vibe — great. Rock on. But if the child’s tiny vice or desire (like sleeping with dad or nursing into the night) start have such an adverse affect on mom/dad/family, then it’s good to push for change, despite the child not being 100% ready. Not meaning to be preachy but there you go, Pot, from a Kettle.
