At what age should same s*x children stop bathing together and sleeping in the same bed together?

Question

Is 11 or 12 too old?

Answer 1

ok this shareing bed with parents thing reaaly depends on what the circumstances are. I'm  a 43yr old single female parent. I have been for 10yrs.  I have two girls aged 11 and 13. my 13yr old has ADHD my 11yr old is developmently delayed. we live in a 2 bedroom unit. I can not get them to sleep in the same bedroom. They have their room I have mine but more often than not, I would say 5 out of 7nights a week I will end up with one of them in my bed. Due to the fact that they quarrel every single night. One will be sent to my room the other will stay in their own bed, in their own room. If the one in their shared room falls asleep before the other I will send the one in my bed back to their shared room. Most nights they fall asleep arond the same time. So rather than wake a child that is asleep I will share my bed with one of them. Am I doing the wrong thing? Or should I just send to the one room and let the argument's they have over the most stupid things go on till all hours of the night. I hate not haveing my be to my self but can anyone tell what else I can do? PLEASE

Answer 2

. Whether the children are of the same or opposite s*x, it all depends on how the children were raised. If the children were raised to see an uncomfortable difference between their minds and bodies then they will not want to bathe together.

. My sister and I were very comfortable  with each other and I would jump in the bath with her until I was 10 and she was  6. And when I was 14 and she was  almost 10 she would still hop in the shower with me as I was finishing.

 We had our own  bedrooms but that never stopped us from cuddling for having a sleepover in each other's room...  there's simply nothing wrong with these things
