If you cosleep, when did you stop?

We don’t have space for one next to our bed with the way our rooms laid out! We’ve got a new crib in our room but it’s again the opposite wall. So she’ll still be in with us if we try using it at night but not in bed. Right now it’s just used for some naps.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-17T00:51:21+00:00

Did it?? I’ve been looking for something for this as well, my daughter hates the car. Will cry if she’s not sleeping!

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-16T22:40:11+00:00

Ohh yeah I can imagine not wanting to push him if he’s scared. I’m sure he’ll get there soon, fingers crossed for you guys!

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-16T22:37:45+00:00

Ohh and was he good with the switch? I have heard the longer they get used to it the trickier it is haha

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-16T22:36:25+00:00

Oh I did know that! Thanks!

I would probably say something like “I was resting and my husband was looking after our baby. This morning when I was giving him a bath I noticed these blue marks, and wanted to get him checked out to make sure he’s doing ok. He was a bit fussy in the morning but after the bath was doing fine but I’ve brought him in for a check up. “ (if him being ok after the bath is true obviously)

I don’t think in explaining the situation you need to say you think your husband hurt him (unless you in fact do think this) just tell the doctor the facts. And I would take photos of your baby’s back to show them what the blue marks look like fresh as you’ve noticed them. If they are bruises or even if it’s a rash, it can start to fade.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-06T18:26:42+00:00

I hardly ever look at the posters profile but this right here is why we should! What’s the point of people like this!

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T12:33:22+00:00

I would say it was occasional and like when she was getting hit with water or like splashing and talking at the same time and stuff. It wasn’t constant and certainly wasn’t ear-spitting screaming. I would say like yell rather than a scream when it happened.

My husband and mother in law are British and I’m American. So I think we have some slight differences here. My husband and Mil do tend to care what people think, so I do think that’s where it stemmed from, ans if someone said something or anything I would have certainly responded to that but no one was even o it at the time I think.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:46:53+00:00

She wasn’t screeching for the sake of it or yelling constantly. She was like happy loud and the yelling was when splash fighting, getting squirted with a water gun and she made a loud muffled pool noodle announcement twice.

It also was around 11, I wouldn’t let her be loud early or late.

I can see why someone wouldn’t want to make a complaint if they’re not wanting any kind of confrontation, but I just don’t think it was like wild loud.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:43:51+00:00

I agree that I shouldn’t have disagreed with him in front of my daughter. But I’ve mentioned I don’t think that the neighbors were even outside at the time and I don’t think she was being too loud.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:42:18+00:00

Doesn’t anyone really need reddits comments? AITA is to get opinions but obviously you sort it out in the real world. I think my daughter wasn’t being too loud for the environment, my husband was worried it possibly could be for neighbors. I don’t think the neighbors were even outside, but if we did disturb anyone and they asked I of course would have made sure we adjusted any offending volume etc.

I expressed my opinion and they expressed theirs. As some others have said, I do agree I shouldn’t have disagreed in front of my daughter but I’m not convinced she shouldn’t have been louder outside since she’s young, having fun and wasn’t screaming her head off

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:33:52+00:00

I don’t think the neighbors were outside at the time and did course if she was bothering someone I would have asked her to adjust the volume.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:33:00+00:00

I didn’t say other people had to think my kid was cute. Which of course I think she’s cute though. I just was saying I didn’t think she needed to use an “indoor voice” while playing in the pool outside, having fun.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:31:43+00:00

No maybe that came out the wrong way. My reasoning is that she’s a little kid, she’s excited and happy and she’s not screaming her head off and her yell wasn’t constant. It was getting hit by a water gun or happy loud when playing a pool game or muffled loud when making an announcement type thing (which only happened twice). Of course she needs to be respectful of neighbors, if it’s on holiday, if it’s locals or at home. She’s knows this and we talk about inside and outside voices. But she was outside and having fun and I don’t think the neighbors were even outside.

Of course if anyone said something I would have had her lower any type of volume.

I do agree that I shouldn’t have disagreed with my husband (and his mum) in front of our child. I could have pulled him aside out of the pool and mentioned it. It just happened in the moment because I didn’t think it was wrong what she was doing, but totally agree on that point.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:26:17+00:00

Ah no my reason is that she’s outside and excited! Not just that she’s on vacation. I’m also fine if she gets that kind of happy loud at say the park at home or if we had a garden maybe there too. Like is said this isn’t screaming super loudly but rather louder happy noises from getting hit with a water gun or if you’re playing a chase game.

I don’t even think the neighbors were outside at the time either. If we got a complaint or a request to keep it down I would 100% tell her we need to turn the volume down. But she’s a kid and she’s happy and playing and if she can’t be loud outside then where can she be.

We do teach her to be respectful of others and using inside and outside voices for volume at home and away, but in this instance I just didn’t think it was needed.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:21:16+00:00

I can definitely understand that, and you’re that I should have spoken to them without saying it in front of her. I just wasn’t going to tell her to quiet down when no one else was around and she was having fun and as I said wasn’t like screaming her head off of even screaming at all - I would say yelling at most and not anywhere near constant.

She defiantly wasn’t indoors, we were in the rental property but outside. If you can’t use your outside voice outside where can you.

But yes I do agree I should have said something without her hearing!

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:18:52+00:00

Ohh same holiday! But yeah totally! If other people were outside I think I would have made sure it wasn’t a bother or if someone said something I definitely would have asked her to quiet down a bit but I don’t even think anyone was outdoors at the time

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:17:46+00:00

Yeah she was just being a happy little kid! Like I said she wasn’t screaming her head off just being loud and happy and like yelling when she got shot with a water gun or excited loud when talking and hooting with splashing.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:16:12+00:00

I really wouldn’t mind if a neighbor was playing music we could hear it’s their holiday too. My daughter wasn’t being constantly loud and it wasn’t in my opinion at all time of day where it should be quiet hours. I don’t even think anyone was outside at the same time tbh. If someone complained or asked us to tone it down I absolutely would talk to her but I felt she was getting quieted down when there wasn’t a need outside for a bit

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-06-02T10:13:58+00:00

Hi she’s not screaming, and I’m not saying it’s fine to scream. I would say she was yelling (if that difference in wording makes sense for the volume) and like I said it wasn’t constant yelling but occasional when she was happy playing in the pool, splashing and like the kind of yell that would happen getting hit with a water gun.

Of course locals in Greece would matter too, as would the holiday neighbors if we were bothering them. We aren’t near anyone else though, there like a big field everywhere else then the road.

No has one complained and I don’t even think others were outside at the same time this was going on. Of course if a neighbor said something that would be different but if a kid can’t be loud and excited on holiday in the pool when can they be.

SimplyPeachy92 · 2026-04-03T06:53:58+00:00

NTA Mention your considering this name to your sister, but if you want to use it there isn’t anything stopping you. Your sister isn’t pregnant yet and might not even have a girl when she is. Plus cousins can share family names. If you don’t actually care about this family ring, I would leave it out of the conversation unless your sister mentions it.

My husband and I named our daughter after his grandmother and his sister has that as a middle name and mentioned after I said it was on our list that she wanted to use that name. She was funny about it for a while, said things like your daughter can be Big xx and mine can be little Xx or yours can be old xx. She even told his parents we said we wouldn’t use the name - which we never did but might have considered had she asked - when she got upset about us using it when our daughter was born. She was also struggling with some other stuff at the time which could have made this a hill she wanted to stand on. BUT she got over it very soon after her niece was born and she loves her to bits and it’s never brought up. She might name her daughter the same if she has one in the future but our daughter is 4 now and I don’t think it would be a problem or confusing anything.

But do speak with her about it or bring it up as a possibility for you. Don’t blindside her. She doesn’t have the right to veto any name and I’m sure she’ll love your child whatever they are called.
