And seriously, when the hell is someone going to post the comparison shots of Jackson's kids and various All Japan/Lucha Libre wrestlers? Prince looked like a goddamned 6 year old version of Tiger Mask...hilarious

"but that's not proof it's intrinsically harmful"

I can point you to numerous psychological studies that conclude that children who consistently sleep w/adults (usually their parents, but I'm sure it applies to non-family members even moreso) past the age of 4 or so demonstrate various developmental/emotional problems. Let me know if you want me to look some up.

Here's an article which takes issue with Bashir's tactics.

eg let's say i have a kid who often has nightmares and when he does comes to get into bed with mom and pop

and i have a friend who is 44 and great with kids who i totally trust and my kid likes him, and mom and pop have to go off somewhere but not with kid bcz of school, and my pal babysits - except my kid has a nightmare and climbs into bed with my pal

Q: should i worry about this?
A: it depends...

ok shakey but saying "consistently" is still kinda moving the goalposts of even your earlier point — which i think is a fair-ish question

why i objected to the original question = it's just way too vague to make any kind of sensible judgement, despite alex's increasingly dotty frothing

But then again, I've never done anything like sleep with other people's children, so I have little to fear.

Don't be so sure.
I know someone who served 12 years in prison for being at the scene of a crime and attempting to help the person.
Obviously, he is black.

"despite alex's increasingly dotty frothing"

Alex would you feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with a 6-year-old?

I wouldn't feel comfortable hanging onto the back of a bus by my underwear, but I wouldn't jail someone who did this

"Alex would you feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with a 6-year-old?"

Frankly, no.

Under what circumstances would you let your son sleep with Janet Jackson?

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 7 February 2003 23:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

If your son is Justin Timerlake, I guess.

My children are not allowed out of the Skinner box.
