Man, got lucky with mine. Both of those animals slept anywhere, anytime. And it's not like my ex took all the heat, we tagged teamed them bitches. "fine... my turn..."

Secret sauce: If they can only fall asleep, and stay asleep, in perfect darkness and quiet, you're raising a hellion. So raise a little hell!

Not one of those, "Meh, let 'em cry." parents. Now you're raising insecure teenage hellions. No. But stop pussy footing around. Your ancestors fucked in the same bed as the kids, they'll be alright if the TV is a little loud.
