I'm admittedly anti-co-sleeping -- not because I think it's not cuddly and bond-forming, but because I usually wake up with a footprint on my forehead or an eye gouged out and lying on the pillow next to me. So whenever I hear about someone co-sleeping with a child, I immediately think: "sucker" and "Hope you have a good helmet!"
But when I read this Dear Abby about a dad who co-sleeps with his 13-year-old daughter, I immediately thought: "Well that's just bizarre. For both of them, really."
The letter goes that a woman dating "Jim" doesn't like the fact that Jim's daughter, Jenna, sleeps in dad's bed. (Jim is divorced and Jenna also co-sleeps at mom's house.)
It gets a little more bizarre actually.
Jenna also shares her father's master bedroom and closet with him as if she were his wife. Please understand, this girl has a lavish bathroom of her own connected to a princess-style bedroom that contains everything a girl could ever wish for.
But she prefers to shack up with dad, and dad is just fine with it. If you were Dear Abby, what would you tell him?
