Bed Bugs & Much Ado about Bedtime

Moms Too Button Bed Bugs
Written by Sara S.

My husband has been working nights for the past few weeks. It took a bit of time for the kids and I to get used to it. Meanwhile, they began sneaking into my bed during the night鈥 knowing that I have been too tired to kick them out.

Ryan started coming into my bed in the middle of the night and I wouldn鈥檛 notice it or I would be too tired to send him back to his own room. For goodness sake, there is plenty of room in the king bed for me and a five year old. But that鈥檚 where I was wrong.

Somehow Grizz started coming in too. I thought it was Ryan because Brady never would get out of his bed at night without calling out 鈥 鈥淢ommy where are you?鈥 Mommy where are you?鈥 I am pretty sure that meant 鈥 鈥淢ommy come get me or Mommy come here.鈥 Grizz has a phobia that adds disruption to sleep. He won鈥檛 put his feet under the covers because he is convinced there might be spiders lurking under there waiting to bite his feet; so the safest place for his feet is on top of the covers.

The bedtime visits have escalated and now I have two bed bugs. One comes in around 1am and the other one stumbles in sometime later. I woke up the other morning to Brady sleeping with his feet in Ryan鈥檚 face. Both fast asleep.

I think it鈥檚 time for them to share a room. At least then they can crawl into bed with each other.

I remember crawling into bed with my parents. It was the safest and happiest feeling. If they said 鈥渘o,鈥 and sent me back to my room I remember feeling so sad and scared. Those memories make it harder for me to be stern with my own kids and send them marching back into their own cold and dark rooms.

I will be strong when Chris is done working nights and we can enforce the kids sleeping in their own beds!

Any ideas?
