I have 3 girls - 9,5,2. None of them have ever co-slep mainly because I’m selfish and like having the bed to myself, the 2 year old will occasionally come in if she can’t sleep of for an hour in the morning when she wakes earlier but she mostly slleps with my 5 year old which is fine because they do actually sleep and don’t keep each other awake, sometimes I even find all three of them snuggled together ❤️
Anyway one of my friends was really shocked that I didn’t let my kids sleep in with me especially as I don’t have a husband (her words). Her children are 12,10,6 and they all sleep in bed together which I find a little odd as they are quite old for co-sleeping, she mad3 me feel as if I was doing something wrong.
So I’m asking - Do you let your children sleep together? How old were your children when they stopped sleeping with you?

My DS used to fall asleep in his own room and I’d find him asleep in my bed when I went up.

He said he’d stop when he reached 7 but continued til he was 12.

My just turned 8 year old sleeps in my bed - I'm single. He does have his own room, but hasn't slept in it since we moved house 2 months ago. He sleeps fine on his own when he goes to his dads. I'm assuming he will grow out of it at some point
