Whats the age you stopped sleepin with your parents and whats the age you think a kid should stop?

Question

cause ive heard of kids sleepen with there parents til 10

Answer 1

I think by age 5, the kids should be out of the bed! Even at 5, they should only be in there if they are sick or wake up with a nightmare and the parents should return them to their own bed once they fall asleep. Otherwise, I think kids should sleep in their own bed from birth.

Answer 2

I never did and my brother did until like 5.    Personally i think they never should.  Maybe one night for a  bad dream but we don't even do that. We go in console and put her back to bed.

Answer 3

I never did. I think kids should stop sleeping with their parents whenever they or their parents start to feel uncomfortable with it. Every family is different- that's their business.

Answer 4

i never did

My mom slept in my bed just untill

i fell asleep and that stopped when i was lik 5

Answer 5

I never slept with my parents With the exception of being ill or a thunder storm then that was ok and I grew out of that by age 8 or 9. It's best to start of with your child sleeping in their own beds so they learn right from the start.

Answer 6

Sorry, it is my opinion that kids should never sleep with their parents unless they are sick, had a bad nightmare of afraid of storms.

Answer 7

What kind of sick cult were you raised in?!!?

Answer 8

I slept in my parents bed until I was 6 (not every night), but it was because my dad was a ship captain and would be gone for 3 months at a time, so my mom let me take his place in their bed. It was also because I was scared that my dolls and teddy bears would come alive when I was asleep! I don't think that children should get into the habit of sleeping with their parents unless they have a good reason, because the older they are the become harder it is to get them used to sleeping in their own bed.

Answer 9

I never slept with my parents. My bassinet was in their room for the first 2-3 months and after that I had my own room...same for my kids.

I'm a firm believer that the sooner you can get a child to sleep in their own room the better. The longer you wait, the more struggles you are likely to have.

Answer 10

I actually slept with my mom til I was 12.  I would have continued except my friends at school found out and teased me.

For the most part, there is nothing really wrong with cosleeping.  I mean, it gives the comfort of the human touch.  BUT, the longer you put off teaching your child how to sleep on their own, the harder it will be.

You can get a 6 month old to learn how to sleep on their own in a matter of a day or 2.  A 4 or 5 year old may take a couple weeks or longer.

My mom was a single mom, so I wasnt really invading on marriage privacy, but if that is an issue, its something to consider.   I used to know a lady who coslept with her son, and her husband.  They would have s*x with the son in the bed.  They would put him over on the side by the wall and surround him with pillows while they had s*x.  And I think thats too far.

Couples need to be able to have their couple time, and you cant really do that with an infant/toddler/child in the bed with you.

Answer 11

well my son is 2 and has slept with us all his life.....i enjoy it now esp. that my spouse works 3rd shift my son is my cuddle buddy and i feel comfortable knowing he is in bed with me. Its comforting.....I really dont think there is an age on this one. Kids still get scared when they are older too and want to sleep with their security figures. I honestly dont think there is anything wrong with it...to each their own. i think its personal its like saying when you should make your kid move out of the house...some did when they were 18 others never left all together. Just depends on the family and there isnt a right or wrong answer.

Answer 12

I don't remember ever sleeping in the bed with my parents.  My dad says I would come in every once in a while if I saw a bug or had a bad dream, but I don't remember doing that.  I was very young.  I think my parents always had me in the crib since I was an infant and I eventually went to a bed.  It was never an issue.

Answer 13

I never did but I do let my daughter sleep with us whenever she feels like she needs to.  Usually it's because of a nightmare or a storm, but occasionally it's just because.  I don't see the harm in it.  When kids are small, nighttime can be frightening--it was for me.  I like the fact that my daughter feels safe and secure and always welcome--which in my mind = loved.   I'll let her come into our bed for as long as she needs/wants to.

Answer 14

I never slept with my parents, my kids have slept in my bed occassionally like during a thunderstorm maybe when they were 3 and 4 yrs old, my younger one grinds his teeth and my older one is all over the bed legs ontop of me arms across my face I can't sleep like that.  The only one allowed to sleep in my bed is my bulldog LOL

Answer 15

I never did as a child myself, but my eldest daughter (now 5½ yrs) would climb into bed with me (hubby works nights so he's not in bed) whenever she had a nightmare and sometimes I wouldn't even know she's climbed in lol but she's not done that in a few months now, I asked her the other night if she wanted to sleep in my bed for the night with me (just wanted to see what she'd say) and she was like "No way Mum, I'm a big girl now and sleep in my own bed" and I couldn't of been more proud as this is what I was trying to tell her for after the nightmares lol. and my 3yr old only ever sleeps in her own bed because she has to prove to everyone she's a big girl now lol trying to be so independent.

I think once they are in school they shouldn't be in the parents bed, and I don't agree on kids being in the parents bed if both parents are in it.

Answer 16

i never slept in my parents bed, except when we used to go away on holidays and then i would sleep with on of them and my sister would sleep with the other and then when my little bro came along my sister and i would either sleep together or switch, this was til we were about 11... (but i had a fear of sleeping in strange places like hotels) And then when my parent got seperated my brother who was in prep took to sleeping with which ever one he was with at the time, but then a year later they got back together so he got kicked out of the bed... but he moved his matteress into their room coz he missed sleeping with them. and it took then around 2 months to slowly get him back into his room.
