http://www.sarahcarey.ie/2006/03/15/todays-it/ An Irish woman's social, political and domestic commentary Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:34:24 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://www.sarahcarey.ie/2006/03/15/todays-it/comment-page-1/#comment-8140 Fiona Thu, 16 Mar 2006 08:31:47 +0000 http://www.sarahcarey.ie/archives/2006/03/15/todays-it#comment-8140 I have just dragged my other half in here to look at your piece on co-sleeping. I absolutely agree but that article yesterday only gave her more impetus to reaffirm her view that our children will never sleep in the bed with us. When I was a baby we were moved slowly from tummy to bed to cot as well and, as we become prone to saying once we reach a certain age, "it did us no harm". These articles are probably quite well-meaning but they do have the blowback effect of frightening people who want their children to co-sleep or making people feel guilty about chosing a period of co-sleeping andm, in our case, making a couple who don't even have the children yet to contionue fighting about this!!

Every other paper and news organisation is. I suppose they will argue that they are not going to risk allegations of an unfair trial by revealing his name. The other papers must be taking the view that the cops will never get him so there will be no trial. Either way, the family of Siobhan McLaughlin must be hoping that their case will not go the same way since there is a “chief suspect” there too….
