[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying this to sound judgemental but how do you have any intimacy with your husband when you co sleep with children that old?[/quote]
both my children sleep with us, no problem with intimacy.  We have a spare room, a couch and lots of floor space.  Sex in the bed would be boring after what we have done for intimacy.  As far as what is too old, I think your children will decide when it is time.  I love having my children in bed with us.  (age 3 and 6)  It is very bonding for everyone.  And as one poster stated, not uncommon in other cultures.  There is nothing better than waking up to see my sweet babies asleep, snug as a bug in our bed.[/quote]

I also love sleeping with my daughter (although I don't do it as often as I would like). She is one. At age 9, they aren't babies anymore . Reminds me of an earlier thread when someone mentioned a woman who is breastfeeding her 8 year old. Both scenarios are unusual to me (esp. bf a big kid), and I can see that this is fostering a sort of dependence on the parents. Not necessarily a bad thing, just *different*.  This post made me wonder if we allow society to dictate our lives too much. Why are certain things considered wrong? Who makes that determination? I hadven't read a single post that had a legitimate explanation as to why this is a bad thing. But, I fall into that trap and if it was me, I'd be most concerned about other kids finding out and making the child feel bad.[/quote]
