Yea I remember being 7-8 and my neighbor who was 10 at the time we would do sleepovers during the summer and there was some times where we would touch and giggle with each other at night |

We never had opposite sex sleepovers. Barely had same gender sleepovers. |
Depends on the kids. DD is 11. School friends, I wouldn’t allow it now. Family friend we’ve known for years I’d still allow it. My kid has a trundle so he sleeps on that, they change in the bathroom….. |
Same here. I know families that don't even allow opposite sex siblings to sleep in the same room or share a hotel bed during vacations, which seems a bit extreme to me. |
I agree with no to sharing a bed for opposite sex siblings but they can share a room. Hello - DS could be having wet dreams in puberty and should not be in the same bed with a sister! Disgusting. |
Is it so different if it's a brother? This seems like an argument to not allow bed sharing at all. |
Depends on the ages. 7 yo twins, for example, I think that is perfectly fine and harmless. But again, some people don't think even that is okay. |
No sharing of bed beyond 9 or so and probably good idea to have separate rooms. Girls start puberty earlier and 10yo could be on her period and stains on sheets they would need some privacy. |
I’m in Camp “Would-Never-Have-Started-This.”
To quote When Harry Met Sally— “I never wanted anyone to say to me…’How come you never take me to the airport anymore?’…which is why I never take someone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship.” 🤪 Same principle here. If you don’t start it, you never have to figure out when to stop it. |
Hate to break it to y’all…but girls are experimenting with each other at sleepovers as early as 9-10. The difference, I would argue, is they can’t get each other pregnant. |
You don't know what her daughter is doing puberty-wise. My daughter is 10 and her doctor said she'd probably get her period within a year. |
My son is in 5th grade, his best buddy is a girl he's known since they were in daycare together, they're like siblings. They still have regular sleepovers together. But similarly to PP we're both keeping a close eye out for issues and have put in additional rules, the main one being they now have to sleep in separate rooms (they slept in the same bed till 2nd grade and the same room till this year). They'll probably stop altogether once they start middle school. |
