Hi all. I don't know if this has been talked about before (I don't lurk the forums nearly as often as I should), but I just don't know who else to ask. So.
My stepdaughter is 6 years old and last night she wanted to get in bed with us because our cats were bothering her, more or less. She said she was "creeped out by the cats meowing and the cricket noise" (the cricket is a cat toy). This is a new place (we've only been here about a week) so I understand the random things freaking her out. What I don't know is if I should have let her get in bed with us.
She fell asleep pretty quickly and about an hour later I had my husband take her back to bed. She slept through the night after that and was fine this morning.
So should I let her get in bed with us if she's scared or not? Is this conditional cosleeping a good thing or should I have told her to sleep on her own? Halp.
