Meet the couple who sleep with their 5 children on the same bed

Meet the couple who sleep with
their 5 children on the same bed
Bloggers Elizabeth and Tom Boyce, from Texas,
US, sleep with their 5 children on the same bed
and they said their sex life was better than ever,
despite their unconventional sleeping
arrangement.
They have built a bed fort that links mattresses
for Zach, 11, Izzy, nine, Ben, seven, Owen, three,
and baby Elijah, one, with the two parents placed
in the middle.
Elizabeth posted a photo of the family bed on
Facebook and was suddenly inundated with
questions about how it works.
And most of the questions revolved around the
couple's sex life.
Elizabeth wrote back:
"I think what it boils down to is your lack
of imagination."I am sure you can figure it
out.
"In our house, by moving everyone into one
room, we suddenly had several other rooms
that were completely empty at night and
we no longer had small children wandering,
crying into our bed in the dark."
She explained that they came up with the idea of
a family bed to cope with the chaos of looking
after her children as well as husband Tom who is
disabled.
She said:
"We just needed sleep. "Tom is disabled
and is often sick or needs care at night. "I
was up helping him, nursing a baby, putting
kids back into their own beds, soothing a
toddler woken by other kids... it was a
mess! "When we moved everyone together,
the toddler got a dark little cave to sleep in
"Our anxious, insomniac 11-year-old had a
dark little cave to sleep in. "Our wild
sleepers each had their own space and I
was still by Tom to help him if he needed
it. "Everyone has easy access in and out of
their bed. "They get up to pee and get a
drink and get back in without an issue.
"Even the baby waking up crying almost
never wakes anyone.
"Tom snores, but well, ear plugs do the
trick."
Elizabeth said it was "working wonderfully" and
following requests from others, she shared a
blogpost on how to build the bed fort using Ikea
beds.
