Is it OK for little boys to sleep together in the same bad when having a sleepover?

Question

What are the rules on that? My sons bed is a full he is 7. how many boys. what age if any is it inappropriate (sp)? any suggestions?

Answer 1

No that's fine but you could give everyone their own blanket. Boys usually decide on their own when they don't want to sleep in the same bed with a friend. Probably around 10 or so.

Answer 2

It's "appropriate" at any age.  What are you so terrified is going to happen?

Answer 3

I don't think it crosses their mind that it might be slightly inappropriate.  They are too young.  I think it's fine as long as everyone can get a good nights sleep!  They might think it's cooler if you drape a sheet over some furniture for a fort and they can sleep on the floor in sleeping bags and tell ghost stories while using flashlights.  Or whatever it is that 7-year-old boys talk about together.  Mine is 7 also and his brain is still a mystery to me.   :)

Answer 4

I don't think it's inappropriate at all. Why would it be?

Answer 5

I slept with MY brother in the same bed until I was around 8 years old.  And neither one of us thought anything about it.

I see no problems here.  None whatsoever.  If one of the kids wets the bed or is a wild sleeper that's one thing, but there is absolutely NOTHING inapproriate about 2 seven year olds sharing a bed.

Now if they were 14, that would be darned inappropriate.

Answer 6

If they don't mind sleeping in the same bed why not ?

Answer 7

he's 7 and they are just little friends

theres really no limit,

but id do 3 at the most just for comfort.

im 14, and when we have sleepovers we stack like 6-7 people in on bed lol.

it all depends on comfortable they are with each other, like we have been best friends for years, so we just dont care. lol

Answer 8

When they're too old, they'll tell you - probably in a year or two.  If it makes you uncomfortable, but you don't want them sleeping on the floor, have them sleep in sleeping bags on top of the covers.  A full bed will be big enough for this until they are teens (and by then they'll be sleeping on your couches.)

Answer 9

At seven, it's fine. Two or three in a double bed should be okay, as long as they aren't rowdy sleepers and you can trust them not to keep each other up all night.

And once they get into their teenage years, it's probably getting a little inappropriate, but I wouldn't worry about that. Once they hit puberty they won't want to be sharing beds anymore.

Answer 10

If the other parents don't care and the boys don't care, I don't think it's a big deal.

But I probably would put them in sleeping bags, instead.  They'll think it's cooler, anyway.

Answer 11

There just kids what couls they do they probably dont even know about s*x.

Answer 12

Personally I think it depends on the boys, how many you have sleeping over and what their parents think.  But if it were my son, I would ask them to bring sleeping bags, or make some sleeping bags and place them on the bed.  I would only put 2 on there, I think you'd be better off putting them on the floor, they are boys, they will be just fine for a night. :)

Answer 13

I wouldnt allow it because you dont know what the other kids have been exposed to. My friend was molested by a girl on a sleep over when she was little. If it were me Id have everybody bring sleeping bags and put them in the family room. Then check in though the night.

Answer 14

Sure, but when I sleep over my friends house (I'm 13 and they're 12) I sleep on a couch or pull out bed.

But I sleep in the same bed as my cousins  (11 and 14
