This is pretty much how my kids are raised. People always got upset over co-sleeping but I never listened. Others rant that the playground is dangerous and I'm mystified. One day my kids will be without me and I need to know that they will be okay so that's how I raised them. They can cook, change cat litter, wash clothes, and many other things. If you don't know how, then try is what I say. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3202328
