How long to keep your kids in bed?

^ and if you think there is something wrong with me for thinking that, take a look in the mirror and think again.

You and little John exploring himself under the same blanket. Gross.

Oh yeah? What about with their siblings?

Should every kid who hits puberty have their own bed?

Go see a therapist OP. You need one.

Why? Is there something sexual about sleeping?

Is this a real question?

Stop making assumptions about when other people's children will hit purberty.

I was the earliest of 3 girls to have breast buds in our family - I was 10. I was the earliest to see my period. I was 12.

I’m not teaching kids about exploring themselves. They’re learning that in school in 4/5th grade, from their teachers.

If you are OP, yes it is.

This is a big MYOB

Also, you are contradicting yourself. You say you don't think there's anything going on and in the same post say there's other issues that require their own post. What are the other issues?

Anyway, I just wanted an opinion on whether people think it’s ok or not. I’m entitled to my opinion, and I hope you know the saying ‘see something, say something’.

See something, say something? About sleeping?

I don’t think there is anything sexual going on, but it is my opinion that other family dynamics would warrant sleeping separately from parents.

Hi didn’t know it was common practice for siblings to share a bed, but most people would agree, that once boys and girls hit puberty they sleep separately. You ever been to sleep away camp? They separate the sexes for a reason. I didn’t come up with these ‘rules’. Society as a whole did. The same way they said gay marriage was ok.

Op again: and I didn’t come up with the recommendations that kids should be let explore themselves. The American academy of pediatrics did. They recommend not shaming kids for doing so, but directing them to go to a private place, like their bedroom. “Oh, don’t touch yourself on the couch honey, go to the common bed/bedroom!’

I see.

So what if one of the siblings were bisexual or lesbian? Can they still share a bed if they are both girls(assuming one of them has hit puberty)? Or does it only matter when the siblings are opposite sex?

Wow.

Do you have an 8 year old? Because you are way off base here.

I don't find it "wrong" or inappropriate and I honestly wouldn't really think anything of it at all. Other than, it must be crowded and uncomfortable. But thats maybe just me- 4 people in one bed (by choice) is hard no from a sleep comfort perspective
