Hey I'm a coddler!

I'm a coddler. I coddle my son. This is what i've been informed of one time too many. And at some point someone is going to get hurt if they don't shut up. If me being a loving mother is considered coddling? Then I guess I coddle. Deal. Yes, I do everything for my son. I do crawl around on my hands and knees feeding him his dinner as he laughs and runs away from me. I do have a million and one toys spread clear across the house, under anything you look, in everything you look. There are cherrios everywhere. And yes, Khai has more clothes than is necessary and dammit i'll keep on buying him more. The other day John told me that Khai has too many toys, that he gets too many things and that him not getting him anything on his 1st birthday ever, was not a big deal because of this. Yeah...NO.
Right now John is sleeping on the couch - aka, his bed. He's not thrilled about not sleeping in our bed but I think he's gotten used to it. He doesn't really bug me about it as much anymore though there are occassions. Right now, Khai is sprawled out in the bed, yes that would be our bed....the very bed that John hasn't been in for over a year now. Yes...I do co-sleep with Khai and yes, I'm still doing it and yes I plan to keep on doing it. Its where I know Khai is safe, warm, and happy. Do I care about anything else? No. If he were sleeping in his own crib right now, I know he wouldn't be happy and I know he really wouldn't sleep through the night. I know my son. And I refuse to let him lay in there and cry his little heart out to the point of throwing up. Not going to happen. I'm not going to train him on how to sleep. He's not a dog. People in many cultures sleep like this..its never been a problem. It seems more so of an issue with this society. I dunno.. maybe i don't know what i'm talking about.. but i know this is what works for us.
What works is for my son to be happy. He's not going to turn into a brat just because of the things I do for him... I was raised the same way..am I a brat? Ok..don't answer that. :-P
