Because my husband's sleep is driving me crazy, and the baby and I *cannot* co-sleep with him any longer!! 
There is a little seriousness here- my nine month old has been going through a rough sleep patch (three new teeth, taking steps across the living room, and just back from a weekend away from home!) and tosses and turns and nurses all night. If we all co-sleep, she and my husband disturb each other constantly! He tosses, coughs and wakes her constantly. She cries, he can't sleep, he whines, she wakes up more!
I've spent the last two nights sleeping with baby on a mattress on the floor, and she still cries from teething and nurses all night long, but at least doesn't wake up and stay up like she does when my husband is in the bed. But my back is aching, and I want my family bed again!!! And while I'm at it, I would love a couple of consecutive hours of sleep, too.
