Parenting issues?

I have 4 kids Amberly and Launa are 5 Jacoby is 3 and serenity is 4 monthes. Now . the baby is out all the time sleeps all the time lol , But Amberly and launa wont sleep in there own beds They sleep with me and Nick in are bed, So we actually moved there beds in are room, But now me and my husband have no alone time. We have tried getting the girls to go back in there own room and my husband nick even tried to bribe them but nothing is working for us and i knwo never bribe your kids. Its no that they want to be with us all the time just none of are kids like sleeping in that room . Any ideas We tried that But it't not just the twins we put a son in the room for a night and he ended up in are bed to that night and when he's in his own room he always sleeps right through the night never comes into are room. I don't understand the room is a odd shape so could that be it light reflecting making shapes ? Camille is that is try having four kids running around constantly i'm sorry but i'm used to doing everything so fast , I don't get much time to myself...So excuse me if my writing is not perfect ....Try raising four kids and come back to me.

1. put their beds back in there rooms and tell them that they have to sleep in their own beds. if they cry at bedtime or come into your room, take them back to their own room. done let children run the house. you are the parents and you make the decsisions put them in there rooms. when they get out of bed, walk them back to bed. do it over and over all night long if you have too. they will catch on. just dont give in to them. it doesnt benefit your kiddos at all if you just let them sleep in your room every night . and your marriage will def. suffer
2. Put their beds back in their rooms and make them sleep there. Its really that simple. They will cry for a couple nights of course and make yu feel guilty but its for the best. If they come out of the room, just escort them back to bed. Tell them they are big girls now and thats where big girls sleep. My husband made our daughter stop sleeping in our bed and I felt so guilty cause she cried the first couple nights and I got mad at him but now I'm VERY thankful.
3. have you tried sleeping in their room.? when it's bedtime YOU sleep in their room. when they are fast asleep than you can sneak away to your room. i had the same prblem with my son. now, he sleeps in his room. good luck!
4. You need to work on proper English.
5. We share a family bed in our house, so I see nothing wrong with this. When they are ready to sleep in their own beds, they will. If you sleep with them they will be closer and more open to you as teens and adults. It you want to read a really good book (that has great ideas about "alone time") about the family bed there is one called Good Nights by Jay Gordon and Maria Goodavage.
