How old should a kid be when they stop sleeping in the same bed with the opposite sex parent?

my aunt has said that she’s going to stop sleeping with my (11 year old male) cousin soon, if that helps. i’ve never slept in a bed with my dad, so i can’t say anything about opposite sex parent sleeping personally.

i think it’s probably different for everyone and depends on what the child and parents feel comfy with. i still sleep in the same bed with my mom, although i guess that’s didferent because we’re both girls.

I slept in the bed with my dad until about age 8 or 9. I don’t remember exactly, but I do know it wasn’t beyond age 10. My mother worked at night a lot and I was an only child at the time. Therefore, I was scared to sleep in my room alone.

[RespectfulGuy]

Never.

Same room is ok. But different bed.

When it come over in the middle of sleep, allow it to sleep but morning must ask why and then discourage it. Help remove the fear.

Then tell it to go to the other parent instead.

Regularly or just because of illness or fear

The former (if at all) I'll say 4-5 years old
The latter say 8

I’m 36 and I will still sleep in a bed with my mom or dad. That’s not weird to me. We aren’t having sex. 😂

Lol, nice

@WanderingLoveWizard I’d also never share a bed with a baby. It’s super dangerous. But sharing beds with family isn’t a bad thing.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Absolutely

[Guardian45]

Why are you sharing a bed with your mom or dad at 36?

[Apple1996]

I don't agree with co sleeping. Put the kids in their own bed from the beginning.

[SnowedIn]

Sanity and good parenting this is.

[Apple1996]

@SnowedIn yep I need the bed to myself. I put the babies in a bassinet next to me so I can easily watch them all night. There is no need to share the bed

[SnowedIn]

Agree completely! And it saves so many problems in the future

[Gent207-2]

Never an age to start

Worst idea in the history of parenting

[SnowedIn]

Immediately after birth.

[strateguy632]

parents share a bed. when is you question ever real?

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I think I was 19 or 20

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Definitely stopped snuggling at 18 though. Any older and it might a little weird

[Dargil]

Never continually. Maybe age 4.

[Drumlin2001]

What's the problem? Why does parents gender matter?

[Wise4myage]

I say around age 10 or 11, or when they start to feel awkward.

[Wise4myage]

Is this happening with you and your son?

[kellytheman]

I say the max age would be 5 or 6.

[boobliker]

as old as it feels ok, to / with them.

[Nigjt]

About seven or eight I would think definitely by age 9 .

I think can depend, in a lot of third world countries people can't afford a bed for each person so the whole family shares a bed.
