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

Question

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.

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. 😂

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.
