Do you still check on your kids at night?

Yep, I'll do it until they move out. They are 8 and 15. The 15 yo will often still be awake and I will just give a kiss, say goodnight, and I love you. |

| I'm in bed before my kids. I drag myself out to say goodnight. |

| Yes, my four are 10 and under and I always check on them. They can be terrors when awake but angels when asleep. |

| Mine is 11. I stick my head in the door before I go to bed. |

| I don't think I ever really checked on my kids at night past the age of three. And then it was only because they transitioned to larger beds and I wanted to make sure they were still in them and not sleeping on the floor. |

| Sometimes, just when I have the urge to give my 8 year old one last look or kiss. She sleeps like a log, so no chance of waking her up. |

I used to when she was asleep before me.
Now she’s 11 we go to sleep around the same time so no. |

| 8 and 3 year olds still have monitors in their room. I check the monitors at night. |

| I have 12 yo twins. I checked daily until sometime around ages 9-10. I still check on them about every 2-3 days. I work an evening job on Thursdays and I get home late, after they're in bed. I always check on them Thursday when I come home from work. I usually head up to change into night clothes and stop in and check on them and kiss them on the forehead as I go by. Most of the time they don't wake, but once every few weeks, the morning bird will half-wake up and say "I love you, Papa" before falling back asleep. My night owl sleeps like a log. He's fallen out of his bed and not woken up. |

10 yo DS. Every night. I love looking at his peaceful face. I give him a kiss. Fix his blankets. I will do it as long as he lets me.
