One dad is being praised online after he defended his wife’s decision to co-sleep with their two children.

 

David Brinkley was shocked to find out that many parents do not support the idea of co-sleeping, and decided to share his thoughts on his wife’s sleeping patterns in a post that has since received a lot of attention.

 

Co-sleeping can be quite a controversial topic among parents, with some experts saying it can lead to accidental suffocation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

 

However, David wanted to show everyone how proud he was of his wife, Alora, and took to Facebook to share his praise.

 

Alora is known to frequently co-sleep with the pair's two children, and David took a picture of the mum-of-two sleeping with their babies to show just how proud he is of her.

 

 

“I heard the other person ask: ‘Doesn’t your husband hate that? My husband would never let me do that.’ This blew my mind and has bothered me for days,” read David’s post.

 

“So I just decided to come out as a man and set a few things straight. I do NOT hate any part of what makes my wife the mother that she is.

 

“I would NEVER degrade or disregard anything that she feels like doing for my children.

 

“Do I have to squeeze into a small corner of the bed sometimes? Yeah?

 

“But my God, how beautiful does she look holding my children? Making them feel loved and safe,” he continued.

 

 

The proud dad went on to talk about life as a parent, saying that moments like these don’t last forever, and there will come a day when our children will no longer want to snuggle up with us.

 

“I just want to say that I am proud of the decisions my wife makes as a mom.

 

“I would never want to rob her of this time she has or these seasons that are in reality too short to not enjoy.

 

“Please respect your wives as mothers.”

 

 

David’s heartwarming story, shared on Love What Matters, has attracted over 4,000 comments and has been shared nearly 20,000 times since it was posted just yesterday.

 

Many have praised David’s comments, saying they find it difficult to talk about co-sleeping for fear of judgement.

 

“I’ve never been with a man who is compassionate and respectful as a husband and a dad. Co-sleeping is the best. But my ex didn’t see it that way,” read one comment.

 

“Thank you for showing that true partnerships still exists. The love, support and loyalty you show for each other is amazing and truly how it should be when so often it is not,” read another.
