[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry about the misspelling grammar police. I’ll never make that mistake again. 😂

It was a general question: reading, chatting, falling asleep, cuddling in some form, etc.

The question stems from the fact that kids grow, but still seem like babies to us, generally speaking. [/quote]

My 8-year-old doesn't seem like a baby to me, but we absolutely still hang out in bed together. She sleeps in a full size bed and DH or I will often go lay next to her in the bed for 1:1 time around bedtime. We still read with her, chapter books we enjoy sharing, so we'll read a bit and then just hang out and chat. On weekends she often climbs up into our bed with us in the morning to hang out, read, talk about our plans for the day, etc.

Also, when she is sick, I often lay in bed with her to rub her back, read to her, just keep her company. Sometimes if she's running a fever or if I want to keep an eye on her breathing, I'll even spend the night in her bed. I don't sleep well, but that's largely because I'm often waking up to check her temp or listen to her breathing. But in the morning she'll snuggle with me and it's so sweet. I hate when she's sick but I have to admit I like the extra snuggles.

I like the PP who said her 21 yo still does stuff like this to some degree. There are only so many peopel in the world that you can have this level of familiarity/intimacy with so I like the idea of always being able to have this kind of physical affection with each other.[/quote]
