Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM.

I'm 11. Daniel, welcome to the program. Dr. Laura, how are you? Good. What's up? I've got a question. I need you to either confirm or deny that I am a limp dick.

So I've got an almost four year old. Yeah, I know. Got an almost four year old before May 22nd and almost two year old July 15th.

We've got a king size bed. We've got a four year old that's sleeping on the floor and almost two year old that's in between us.

And you know, I love them would die for no, no, no, this is wrong. And I'll tell you why it's wrong kids need to grow up respecting the marital bed.

Okay. I mean, they can play in there. You can all play in there. You can maybe watch a movie together.

And then they go to their beds because this is mommy and daddy special bed for them to be together. And when you grow up and get married, you'll have a special bed with you with a wife with you with a husband, whatever.

And so you just retrain them. Okay. And we're not we're not too late into that right.

And if I said you're too late, you would just allow this to continue. Absolutely not what a silly question right now.

Thank you. I'll bring it up to mom. I do. And I have no you don't bring it up to mom. You tell her this is what's going to happen from now on because this is the marital bed.

I wish to have it as the marital bed. They can come play, hang out. They can come in the morning and jump on us. All that's cute. But this is the marital bed.

Okay. All right. Well, I thought I had read into too much psychostyle. And I was separating them from their mom because that was how we were supposed to be or raise for years.

Yeah, you were being a limp dick and it ends today.

Okay. All right. It's feeling harder already. Is that no, I'm sorry, Dr. L. I think that's hilarious that you called and asked me that I loved it. I loved it. Thank you.

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure there are cultures where everybody lives in one room where that's just fine. But kids have to respect the marital bed.

Because that's an important part of parental bonding is to be close to each other after a long hard day of taking care of the kids in the house and work.

For those of you who do not respect the marital bed, your marriage will suck.

You won't feel bonded and you'll wonder why.
