How can I convince my husband that's our 5 year old daughter is to old to be still sleeping with us?

She's ready, however, my husband is not. How can I convince my husband that's our 5 year old daughter is to old to be still sleeping with us?
talk to him about the damage this could do to your relationship and her well being. In order for you to make your relationship with each other stronger, you need to work hard and one thing is having privacy in the bedroom to do what you need to do. If he lets her sleep with you guys, she'll grow up becoming to attached to the both of you and she wont have a sense of her own independence. If he keeps this up, she might be a teenager and still want to sleep with you (I've seen it happen). If he doesn't understand, than you determine what will be a reasonable way to ';punish'; him (for lack of a better word). Maybe sleep somewhere else until he lets her sleep on her own or just no sex.

Just tell him straight forward. ';Honey when out daughter turns 10 will she still be sleeping in our bed then or will you let her grow up and be a big girl?';





If he says no then let her sleep in her own room and show your husband that it is time for her to grow up. Get a monitor or something that he can keep by his side just in case.
I'd tell him, it's her or me if it were me. I would not allow my five year old to sleep in my bed. If he chose her, then I guess I'd be saying good bye because you can see where his priorities lie. I'd tell him that you miss just having him in bed with you and she's old enough to sleep on her own. If he wants to sleep with her, tell him to sleep in her bed. I'm assuming it's a twin bed, I bet after a few nights of being uncomfortable he'll join you and she'll stay. That's just what I'd do though, I've been told I'm kind of mean sometimes.
Tell him to get over it. lol That sounds mean, but maybe he needs a wake up call. And then just start putting her in her own bed. If she gets up in the middle of the night, you might have to be the one to put her back in bed. (since it sounds like he'll be more than willing give in and let her sleep with you two).





Good luck! It sucks when parents disagree. (We disagree at least 90% of the time, its hectic)
Tell your daughter to tell your husband that she is a big girl and can sleep on her own. If you let this be, it will turn out bad. My cousin was a weirdo and slept with his parents until he was ELEVEN and when he finally went to go sleep in his own bed, my uncle had like a celebration. He was like..FINALLY I GET TO SLEEP WITH MY WIFE AFTER ELEVEN YEARS! Sad..isn't it?
Say damn it this is how it's going down she's no longer sleeping in our bed period! Then if he doesn't listen tell him then I guess you don't want sex anymore then cuz that's what's going to happen if she continues to sleep with us she has her own bed and room this is our room.
I would put our child in her own bed and if he started acting crazy i would tell him to go sleep in her bed or in her room. But if he would rather sleep in her room than yours, you need to figure out what the real problem is.
send your hubby for counseling -this is a bigger issue than a child sleeping with you. join him and remember that you are not just parents. the 5 yr old is capable of sleeping alone.
WTF? I would be telling him to grow up, she is no longer a baby. She should have been in her own room years ago. The older she gets the more psychological damage this could cause.
Well as long as she is ready maybe she can tell her dad. Hey dad, i wanna sleep in my own bed.
he want her to stay with him he cant believe that she grew so fast you gotta give him sometime and he will get used to it trust me.
