Kids up to what age may be allowed to sleep in the same room with their parents?

Question

We go for s*x in another room but it is not a good thing to do.

We have two kids of age respectively 11 years & 2.5 years respectively.

Answer 1

well i am 12 and sometimes i sleep with my mom not like a baby but just to watch TV or something when my sister is watching something i don't want to but if you don't want them to just tell them sleep in their own room

Answer 2

My friend is 12,her and her mom sleep in the same bed.

She's afraid of monsters.

Answer 3

It's 4-5 years old, because they know how to walk and talk, and do things on their own, rather than a lil baby to like.. 3-4 years old.. they're kind of clueless. Don't wait too long because once it's a habit, it's not easy to get rid of.. So do it asap. XD

Answer 4

I slept in the same room as my parents until I was 10 or so.

I do not think it was very good for me. Once I finally had to sleep in my own room, I was scared and it took a very long time to get adjusted.

I would suggest not having your children sleep in the same room as you.

Answer 6

Grown up children understand everything.

After three years of age, they must sleep in their own room.

Answer 7

4

Answer 8

Well when I had my first daughter I didn't want her to sleep in another room so she slept in our room in a crib till she was 1 year old. But my second daughter had her own crib in the same room where her sister sleeps. Now my third baby will probably have a crib alongside his sisters' beds.

Answer 9

three it could aide many problems like ADHD  believe it or not and it could be reported as child molestation

Answer 10

yea... i would say about 7 years old max 4-5 atleast..... i should know.. my mom has slept in the same room with me since birth-15 yrs and i was so terrified  when she moved out of my room... my family is asian and they ar very oriental so they like to keep close with their children.... except for the children they want to get as far as they can and when i was young she had convinced me that there are evil spirits and ghosts that come out at night but they wont touch  me unless she was there.. (p.s dont tell scary lies to ur children it will ruin their lives!!!)

Answer 11

You should never let your kids sleep with you. And if i were you i would kick them out tonight! Because if you let them sleep in your bed, you'll never get them out.  And your lovelife with your spouse will most likely fall apart. And that would be bad. Your kids are old enough to be sleeping on their own. You and your spouse deserve time with eachother too.(In your OWN bed.)

Answer 12

I wouldn't let a child past the age of 3 sleep in my room. It's ok if they're a bit older and they have a bad dream or something but it should not be an every night thing.

Answer 13

haha this might sound weird but i slept in my parents room till i was 11. I think thats way to old but they let me. I would say tell them to start TRYING to sleep in their room.. then if they get scared to come to your room. or go lay with them in their room till they fall asleep then go back to your room.

Your a couple, you shoudlnt need to go to another room to have s*x. you need your space. =]

Answer 14

My parents didn't really tell me I couldn't sleep in their room. When I got about 7 though I'd just sleep in a sleeping bag on their floor if I got scared.

I know a lot of people are against letting kids sleep in the parents room, but I dont see the problem. I mean my bro and I both did whenever we were scared and we're perfectly fine.

As long as it isn't an every night deal, I think any age is fine.

No kid over 13 is gonna want to sleep in their parents room either..

I know I'm gonna get thumbs down ^.^

Answer 15

3 is the cut off age..Anything after that is disater...

Answer 16

Never! For the entire night, but if there is a bad dream than 5 years old.

Answer 17

lol, well im 14 + once i went to sleep in their room cuz i watched a scary movie, my dad + mom was mad but i wouldn't leave so they didn't have a choice, lol. but i would say for regulars around like up to 5 or 6

Answer 18

till their 7 years of age they can be sleep seperated but after that they should have their own room.

Answer 19

I stopped sleeping in my parents room when I was 5. Personally, you shouldn't have s*x with your kids in the house...period. Your 11 year old shouldn't be sleeping in your room.

Answer 20

I still sleep with my ******* parents and I am 19.

Answer 21

Three at the most, although you're always going to have the case where kids will have nightmares and come to you for a night or so. It shouldn't be an every night thing.

I was fifteen and saw a man staring in my window late one night. I slept on my parents floor because I was terrified that he was going to break in and get me.

No matter what the age you're always going to have that case of fear and knowing your parents will protect you.

Answer 22

i don't really know! since i am not a parent but a student

i would say when i get married and have children i would let them sleep with us (the husband and I) until they are about 4 years old... but i would keep them in a room that's still reachable if they have a bad dream or something!

Answer 23

I don't let my kids sleep in the room with me, unless its because they are sick or a nightmare.  The only time they slept in my room was when they were in a basinette, till about age 3 months .. but that's my personal opinon.  I think that what ever you are comfortable with and what works for you is what is best for you

Answer 24

about 4 or 5 years old and thats only if there scared or had a nightmare of somethin

Answer 25

2 yrs. My mom would NEVER let me sleep on my own so I kept sleeping the same room 'till I was 10, HORRIBLE! I became very dependant on them and I kept being their 'little baby' so  it took me almost 3 yrs. And when I turned 13 I started getting them to realize that I wanted them to back off, I never told them. We were good, I just never wanted them to hold my hand when we crossed the street.

Answer 26

i use to sleep in the same bed as my mom until i was 7.

but that was mostly because i was scared of the dark.

Answer 27

Well to tell you the truth i sometimes (but nearly never) slept with my parents (when i was really scared at night) up till the age of 7 or 8.  If you're child is scared and on some nights wants to sleep with you it's fine. Normally they grow out of it when they become teenagers.  Liek sleeping with my parents now would just be really weird and gross. ew. But like 6 years ago i wouldnt o mined...  But no offence if they're over 14 or something then there IS a problem.

Answer 28

i never let me son sleep in my room hes 3 now but once it started i would always make sure he went to his bed  no matter how much he cried so i don't have this problem i say 1 1/2 - 2 then i would bring it off 100%

Answer 29

My dd is 6 months and I plan on having her in the room with me till she's at least 1 year but probably more like 15 months.  We have the same problem we can't use our room for anything other than sleeping if you know what I mean.  I enjoy her in there for now and it makes me feel safe ( she's in her own crib but right next to our bed, almost like a co-sleeper )  I think it's time to move that 2.5 year old out because he's no longer a toddler and really needs her/his own room.  I'm not preaching but I think he does need to adjust and he's plenty old enough HOWEVER, if you feel he/she needs to be in your room still then go for it, your the parent, it just may get harder and harder to get them in their own room the older they get.

good luck.

Answer 30

i'm 16 and the oldest child. i think that i have NEVER slept with my parents. my mom and dad told me that when i was little i could, but i just didn't want to, and they sorta taught me to sleep in my own bed, because everyone needs their own space. my younger sister slept with them maybe four or five times a year until she was 10 because she is scared of storms, and sometimes in Missouri we get pretty bad ones.

but for your kids, the oldest SHOULD sleep by him/her self. he's old enough. and the youngest i would only let them sleep with you only if they had a BAD dream or it is really storming outside. if they still sleep with you, break the habit now while their still young and your a lot stronger than them.

Answer 31

I suppose that, if you only have one bedroom right now, the kids will have to stay in the same room...

However, it's very unhealthy for YOU and for the kids not to have separate rooms...

My sister slept with her child from the time he was born.  she could have suffocated him!  He had a crib, and his own room.  Last i knew, he was still sleeping with her at 8 years old, is "scared of the dark" and scared to sleep alone.  It's really a bad situation.  

Did i mention she's since divorced?  She refused to make the child sleep in his own room, and her husband got very distressed about it...

Children need to sleep in their own beds and in their own rooms period.  there is no age where it's healthy for a child to sleep in your room all of the time, IF they have the luxury of their own bedrooms.

parents also need their privacy and my room was off limits to my kids.  once in a blue moon we'd have a movie night in my room, but not often.
