I make it clear to my kids & now to my husband too that if they need me then my door's always open for them but otherwise the kids sleep in their room.
I have 4 kids and my baby girl is 2yrs old, she is still sleeping in my room because my husband does not think she is big enough to be in her own room even though the 3 boys were out of our room as soon as they slep the night through. So I guess I'm really asking is how do I get my husband to agree that its time for her to go?

The only thing that you can do is have a talk with him about this and compromise.
Hi T.,
I did the same thing with my oldest son and it was miserable when he turned 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on. We finally made him go to his own room but he always ended up in our room as soon as my husband fell asleep. We even found him next to our bed.
My advice is to start NOW!!!! Before it's too late.
Good luck.

i think doing it gradually might work like after your daughter falls asleep try putting her in her own room see how she and your husband both respond if she does ok after a while he will see she is big enough to start falling asleep in there as well good luck
He has to imagine it will get harder and more traumatic for HER the longer you wait. Try motivating her with the "big girl" room, and maybe a special piece of furniture like a chair w/ her name on it from Pottery Barn Kids. Once she wants to go, and asks to go, it might be easier.
I would just move her out of the room while he's at work and call it a day. But that's just me. My youngest one just turned a year old in october and we put him out of our room and in with his brother. There's things that mommies and daddies like to do that babies don't need to be educated on.
Hello,
I was like that with my daughter, i kept her toddler bed in our room, until last year (when she turned 4. Finally i decided to move her bed into her brothers room who's now 10, put a night light in there & left the bathroom light on. To slowly get her into her own room without just putting her in a room along and saying Goodnite! :) For me it worked, now she sleeps fine alone.
Sooo...might wanna try letting her and your youngest boy share a room for a month or so, just to see how it goes...
I do hope you get your room back, i feel for ya.. :)
MY baby is Daddy's little girl too! we wants her to sleep with us, but I have been very firm in saying NO WAY! she has slept in her own room since she was 2 weeks old...except on nights when she's been sick or had shots or we've been traveling. Ask you're hubby what the problem is? she's is plenty old enuf to be in her own room. the longer you wait, he harder it will be to get out of your room. you might just have to make an executive decision and your hubby will just have to except it.
The way we got our daughter adjusted to sleeping in her own room was by reading her a bedtime story in her bed. Maybe that will help your husband to adjust to it, too. It's a nice quiet time for her and whoever's reading the story to get ready to sleep. Good luck!!
