Bedtime issues?

in November 2011 Moms
So I guess you could say that my son and I are co-sleepers (not really by choice). Shortly before I had Oliver (Nov. 2011) my place of employment had a company lockout and we ended up living with my parents for almost a year. My mother doesn't believe children should cry, ever, so he became very spoiled and I never got him to sleep in his crib for longer than an hour or so. It became less of a family fight if I just co-slept. We have since moved away and are actually expecting another child any day now. We got him sleeping in his big boy bed for most of the night, however; then he got sick with a cold and won't stay in his bed for longer than an hour again. I am very tired and in lots of pain, I just don't have the energy to get up every hour right now to sit next to his bed for an hour while he fights sleeping. We do not have a very big bed and it seems that I will never again share a bed with just my fianc?. I for sure will never let this next one lay on me while he sleeps, which sounds cold but I can't handle sharing our tiny bed with another little bed hog. I was just wondering if anyone else had these types of issues with their LO's?

    Have you done any type of sleep training?  DS1 is a very stubborn child and gets into habits very easily.  Right now we are visiting my parents while DH finishes work before we move to Texas.  DS1 is acting out because DH isn't here and is
