<p>Eczema and asthma are inherited on the same gene.</p>
<p>@319, 320 Twilight. </p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>(Although, to be fair, I didn’t even make it through one of the books. I was required to read one for a children and young adult’s lit class. I made it through about half of the book before I just couldn’t torture myself anymore.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Really? That’s actually really interesting. My mom has eczema and my dad has asthma. I have a mild form of both. Hmm… I always assumed it was primarily environmental because it’s cleared up significantly since I’ve lived in cleaner cities. They were both absolutely terrible when I lived in LA.</p>
<p>photo seemed creepy and gross to me(obviously). flame away. … will probably not respond any further on this.</p>
<p>^^I think you’re in the majority here, pageagain. Not too much flaming going on here.</p>
<p>^^^^Crowd behavior online…how social media effects decision making…</p>
<p>I have no feeling about photo whatsoever, just another marketing trick of the dying publication… Never pay any attention to any ads, unless they are funny, but then I still do not remember what product was advertized and/or company.</p>
<h1>276 “Everyone parents differently. I wouldn’t have done the family bed thing because I feel that is important to maintain a relationship with your husband and can’t quite see how that could be done if you had to sneak off to another room .”</h1>
<p>This might sound even “ickier” to some folks than a nursing 4-yo, but no need to sneak off to another room–or even leave the family bed to maintain that relationship ;)</p>
<p>Triple ick…</p>
<p>Yeah. Ick. I don’t even like my dog seeing me maintain that relationship.</p>
<p>me thinks time for the sippy cup! Does anyone think maybe she’s doing it for the weight loss benefits? She’s rather slim. Plus, to put a picture like that on a national magazine cover, me thinks she’s a little narcissistic.</p>
<p>Yeah. Ick. I don’t even like my dog seeing me maintain that relationship.</p>
<p>Lol…or having their cold nose touch you when they’re getting mighty curious.</p>
<p>Lol never had that happen… my last dog would cry and scratch at the door if we locked her out so we finally let her in. No nose, but she would growl at the end of the bed or constantly try to play with us by grabbing blankets. Always killed the mood :p</p>
<p>Another great reason not to have a dog. . .So much easier to have a couple sleeping kids in bed with you.</p>
<p>(I love my cat. He has no interest in our relationship.)</p>
<p>Yeah… I’ll take the dog. They’re furry :)</p>
<p>" This might sound even “ickier” to some folks than a nursing 4-yo, but no need to sneak off to another room–or even leave the family bed to maintain that relationship "</p>
<p>This is where I have to disagree</p>
<p>There is more to an adult realtionship than sneaking away in hiding from watchful eyes long enough to , well , you know
There is a certain comfort in knowing your partner is there all night in the bed you share, as adults that shouldn’t be compromised in order to appease a child…they will not be ruined if they sleep alone and parents do as well</p>
<p>Not sure what you mean. Husband and wife do share the same bed together all night. Relationship isn’t compromised. There are no watchful eyes to sneak away from. Kids aren’t being appeased–they’re just sleeping. Everyone is comfortable.</p>
<p>One of my H’s friends posted the pic of the cover on FB, that poor kid hopefully the comments will have disappeared by the time he hits middle school. And I’m with a no babies in the bed and no toddlers in the bed after they graduate from crib. When they were standing in the crib and waking at an ungodly hour on Saturdays so probably age 1-2 ish we did pop them into bed and hand them a picture book, but once they were in a regular bed…no more.</p>
<p>atomom, not sure what you mean.</p>
<p>I might be unususal (?) but my head would be too distracted and WAY uncomfortable to allow the rest of me to be having any fun if there were children in the bed. Wouldn’t even be a discussion topic in our marriage.</p>
<p>Where do people get the idea that the bed is the only place for “marital” activities?
Beds are for sleeping. ;)</p>
<p>And as a child, I’d be horrified to know that my parents were keeping up that relationship right next to me. Sorry, but that’s far ickier than even being a parent and keeping up that relationship in front of children.</p>
