Question

How old should you be when you stop sleeping with your parents?

Answer 1

Strange question.  I'll be honest I lived with my Grandma most of my life (until I got married)....even after I had my son, if my husband was out of town my son and I would sleep with my Grandma.  So, really, if everyone involved is fine with it...I don't think it matters.

Answer 2

8-10

Answer 3

I am 13 and still do it. This is becuz i have no dad, and had like 5 extra people living with me till i was like 6 and there was no more room. It depends on the child. Come may do it right away but some may do it later. Its the parents choice

Answer 4

I don't think kids should be sleeping with their parents on a regular basis.  If they are sick or scared and just need comfort the odd time then it is fine but they should be sleeping in their own crib/bed from day 1.

Answer 5

7-8 is when you should definitely stop and learn to be  independent and start sleeping on ur own. like some other people said it may be ok if you have a nightmare or are sick but it definitley shouldnt be a normal everyday or 5/7 day thing. it makes the kid less independent and very clingy to the parent. i hope i could help!

Answer 6

As soon as your born.

Answer 7

Personally i think they should never start. Other than the occasional  nightmare but they can't make it a habit and that should end like 6 or 7  

Answer 8

Honestly.. you shouldn't even start it with your children.. I used to sleep with my mom when I was little and I stopped when I was about 9 which was when my little brother was born.. and now my brother is 10 and a half and he still sleeps with her every night no matter what.. you shouldn't start it because it makes children very insecure.. it really does! When I was little I was scared of EVERYTHING.. and so is my brother.. he wont even go in the bathroom at night by his self and I was like that when I was little to.. they say sleeping with parents causes this I'm not sure if its true but its pretty good evidence judging by us and myself and my brother wont stay the night with friends ect I also think its a security thing for my mom as well.. so I understand HAVE to's but I would stop it ASAP and make sure its not a security thing for you as well..

Answer 9

my 2 year old daughter still sleeps with me im trying to break her before my son is born, its really hard on her and when i try to put her in her room to fall asleep she just crys, so i started to put her in bed when she falls asleep in mine but she just wakes up in the middle of the night and climbs in bed with me. at least now i know what what not to do with my son, i was told not do that with my daughter but i didnt listen i was always scared of SIDS. Now im not so much, i just dont want 2 kids sleeping in bed with me, lol. i learned my lesson.

Answer 10

1. that's when i moved out of my crib and got my own room. although when I'm sick or something is wrong i go up to my moms bed.

Answer 11

o.O

I never slept with my parents since I was a baby...

Don't babies have their own "baby bed"?
