I do...

my ex had the kids at the weekend & DD (2 1/2) told me shed been sick in her bed while away

I wrongly assumed she was making it up as exH had said nothing, but have just emailed him and he said that yes she was sick on Sat night but he didnt find it til Sund morning

I check every night b4 I go to bed & I know that ex doesn as he never did when we lived together

DD had suspected mengititus at 1 1/2 & only reason they rushed her into hospital was cos I checked her b4 I went to bed & called ambulance

My kids are 15 & 13 and i still get a kiss and hug before bed, and I still check on them everynight before I go to bed myself.

DH and I always check the kids,tuck them in and touch them. Sometimes i just stand and look at them sleeping....helps me get things in perspective after a difficult day with a 4, 3 and 15 mths old....
makes me realise and appreciate how precious they are, after a day of battles!

I don't check on them as such but always go into their rooms (ds1 & 2) just to look at them, as they prefer to sleep with doors wide open. they're so much nicer when they're asleep. Also ds1 talks in his sleep sometimes, so has comedy value. ds3 sleeps with his door shut, so I don't go in to him, no way would I risk waking him up

I dont check Ds anymore but he is 14 and i can usually still hear him still up when i go to bed!
Dd is 2, and i always check her. I sneak in and put my hand on her to make sure she is breathing, i dont think i could sleep if i didnt check her first!

I don't check my 15yo but always check my 2 yo and the baby. Just couldn't settle if i didn't.
