[net.kids] sleeping with kids

I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would
sleep with their kids. I would not have slept with my
parents when I was a tricycle motor. Dad snored(-:).
I could sometimes hear him from my room.

I don't think its a very wise idea for adults to have
young-uns in the snore shelf with them for a couple of
reasons. 1) I can't think of any way it could improve 
the parent's sex life. 2) I'd be afraid of rolling over
on a very small arm or leg or entire little body and
making a small grease spot out of a former offspring.

The one plus that I can find is that, if there was
ever a fire, you'd only have to evacuate one room---
Just hope it isn't your bedroom that catches fire.

Anyone know what impact (if any) sleeping with the
parents would have on kids? Note: I am assuming that
the parents are normal (brain healthy) loving people.
But, I seem to recall reading somewhere that there
are psychological ramafications involved here. I
think Dr. Spock is a little over dramatic maybe so,
I hesitate to take his as the final words on the
subject.
