Do your children sleep in the same bed as you and your spouse?

I'm with you on this one. My kids have always slept in their own beds. I sleep better with them there, and I know they do too. My bedroom is for my husband and I, not our children too. It is our sanctuary, our one place in the entire house that is completely child free, unless we choose to have a family wrestling match on sunday afternoon. My husband is a very very sound sleeper, and I move around quite a bit. Both of those situations create a hazardous environment for having kids in bed with us, especially babies. I also have a difficult time falling and staying asleep. It's hard enough to fall asleep next to one person each night, I can't imagine having another 4 of them in that bed! I think the parent's bed is for the parent's.

Our daughter always has her own bedroom and is used to sleep in her bed. In the past, she did request to sleep with us, but we tried to turn her down nicely. Now she is nearly 10 years old, or maybe her friends also have their bedrooms and sleep on their own, so my girl accept the fact of sleeping on her own.

I just feel it would be very hard to break later in life if you let them sleep with you when they are babies No not really...it all depends on how its handled..I had a family bed with my kids from the time my son was 18 mths and my daughter was a newborn for a few yrs actually..They always had their own rooms mind you but they slept with me..Getting them to sleep in their own rooms when the time came wasnt hard at all but it was a weening process so to speak..I mean I wasnt goin to have them just up and sleep in their own beds all of a sudden after all that time....When the time came though it wasnt hard at all.

Hi there. Nope. Our children both have queen beds in each of there separate bedrooms. They are of an age where if they did, sleep with us, we would without a doubt be squashed. They are teens, and teens dont like to sleep with parents haha. They like there own space. Have a great day...

My daughter slept in my room in her own crib until she was about 9 months old and then I moved her into her own room. She will turn 5 tommorow the only time she sleeps in bed with us is if it is stomring out it does not bother my 11 year old son he always sleeps in his own bed.

A couple of times theyve shared our bed if they are ill or simply cant sleep, it can be safely done and im not against it I just cant sleep when their in bed with me so they are in their own room and have been since 9 weeks when they outgrew their moses basket cot didnt fit in our room.

My older son was in his crib in our room when he was younger...but sometimes he would be on the bed with us. For around 4 months after his first birthday, he slept in the same bed with us...after which I moved him to his own room during the day and tried it out at night and he had no problems. My younger son is 17 months old and he does share the bed with us. He didn't want to sleep in the bassinet or the crib...and I don't mind him sleeping with us. In a couple of months, he will be shifted to his room too. As long as the change is done before they are independant...I think it won't be too difficult to break the habit.
