Sick of my parents asking if my 7 mo old is in her crib yet. I usually just say we're working on it.
In reality. I'm not working on it. I love having her right by me. H wants her in her own bed but isn't really willing to put in the work.
How would you reply?

Re: Non snarky reply
Eh, either "we're working on it" or "we're happy how things are". Or the ever popular "why do you ask?" and then just tune out on whatever rant they go on.
And then change the subject as fast as possible.

I think if more people were honest about their sleeping arrangements and and acknowledged they worked vs. trying to excuse or hide it, co-sleeping/bed-sharing wouldn't carry the

I agree with PPs that by replying that you're working on it that leads them to ask how things are going and will likely keep asking. If you want the questions to stop you need to be honest and say we're happy with our sleeping arrangements.

My parents ask me that all of the time. I usually just lie and say "Yup." It's not a complete lie. She does sleep in her crib for part of the night.
We are in the same situation as you. I love having her in our bed.

Be honest! We co-sleep and it works for us. End of story.
If they press the issue, you could offer to print them some literature about the benefits of co-sleeping, maybe offer some book rec's, websites. Our Babies,Ourselves off the top of my hea

Just be honest. My mom asks if LO sleeps in his crib and I say 'sometimes.' She asks if I ever just put him down and leave him to cry himself to sleep and I say 'no.' I don't need to explain myself.
