We try to keep toys and baby things out of there because it is everywhere else in the house! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />WhitWhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468276481224861188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479040574389078498.post-1106586078471838262012-10-27T21:23:20.579-04:002012-10-27T21:23:20.579-04:00I think no kids in the bedroom is a great idea. Th...I think no kids in the bedroom is a great idea. The Master bedroom was made for two people whom are in love with one another to have a haven alway from it all. I feel if you want to have family time there is places for that, like the family room/ area. I feel that couples no longer know how to communicate without it being about the kids if they are always there! Don't get me wrong I love kids but at times you need a break and the bedroom is it! This is not saying they can never come in but it doesn't need to be for long periods of time. Growing up my siblings and I respect our parents privacy their bedroom was their bedroom, we talked to them from time to time in there, but never made ourselves comfortable, no laying on their bed, sleeping from time to time, none of that! It's funny because my parents never told us we couldn't we just wanted them to have that if not anything more! Parents do a lot for their kids at least their kids can leave there haven alone!

I think that I will allow "kids in the bedroom", but with restraints. I can't imagine not having pictures of people that I love, including children, on my night stand or on furniture in my room. <br /><br />I do also understand that you need downtime and your bedroom is the best place for this, but I don't think that pictures of people wouldn't allow you to refresh yourself. I think it helps you relax more and remember happy times, ultimately helping you relax and calm down even quicker. Just my humble opinion.<br /><br />Thanks for all the comments, I love seeing everyone's perspectives!

Your life mostly consists of working (to give your kids everything they need and want), feeding them, playing with them, caring for them, and shuffling them to all of their play-dates, soccer games, and boy-scout groups. This is the one place where I can relax and have me time. <br /><br />I understand how to an outsider this might seem selfish, but if I get ten minutes alone in my room and I can refresh, I am a much happier and balanced person. <br /><br />You have to figure out what works for you, and not having reminders of my stressful, daily life in my bedroom is what works for me.HMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479040574389078498.post-59433120950123967372011-01-06T21:45:08.630-05:002011-01-06T21:45:08.630-05:00The author apparrently either has no children or l...The author apparrently either has no children or lack a bond with their children in my opinion. Some of our best moments have been on Saturday mornings with everyone piled in the bed and watching TV. I do agree children should sleep in their on room after they are a few weeks old. As a first time mother I tried having his crib in our room. Needless to say, it made sleep much less intimacy almost nonexistent. Moving him to the room next door was a blessing for all of us. Even with that my 10 year old will crawl in bed with me if dad is out of town "to help me sleep better". Can't imagine removing everything important to me out of my room.Rhonda Unoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1479040574389078498.post-73037723648747349732011-01-06T17:02:13.149-05:002011-01-06T17:02:13.149-05:00Coming from a woman with a 30 yr marriage, and two...Coming from a woman with a 30 yr marriage, and two children (21 and 11)...I disagree with the idea of separating any part of my life from my children....It makes me sad to see new parents try so hard to keep their children in their "own" space....You're gonna get a lot of opinions, Whitney...this is almost as hot a topic as breastfeeding....Good Luck! You are brave to put it out there.lolMelodie Church, ASID allied memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426425113446911787noreply@blogger.com
