Separate Beds?

[glatt]

Just got back from a weekend in Colonial Williamsburg. Great trip, but my least favorite part was the hotel. Our kids (a first and a fourth grader) can't share a bed. They constantly fight about how the other is crossing the middle line and coming onto "my side."

So to shut them up, I slept with my son, and my wife slept with my daughter. Turns out they were telling the truth. My son spent both nights kicking me and flopping his legs across me. He can't stay on his side of a queen sized bed. My wife had the same complaints about my daughter.

So I think it's fair to say that once your kids have been sleeping for years in their own beds, it's not going to work too well to sleep in the same bed. Next trip, we bring their sleeping bags and they get the floor.
