DEAR ANNIE: We are grandparents who have adopted our twin 9-year-old grandchildren, a boy and a girl. They have lived with us permanently since they were 2 years old. ...
Note: The following column was originally published in 2019
Every night we find them in the middle of the floor in various places: bathroom floor upstairs, closet floor downstairs, spare bedroom downstairs, on a couch or together in our grandson’s bed.
We have rewarded them with special privileges and treats on the three nights when they actually stayed upstairs, even though they did not stay in their own beds. We have also taken away privileges: no sleepovers with friends, no campouts. DEAR BEDTIME HELP: No one ever said parenting was easy, and you and your husband are experiencing a particularly difficult challenge. You are wise grandparents to recognize the danger of their sleeping together as brother and sister as they begin to go through puberty. You took all the right steps by using a reward system initially, and, when that didn’t work, imposing negative consequences for their actions.
