I think it's appropriate to a point and I think 10 is getting too old. Sure, work with her to find a comfortable bed but there may be other underlying issues at play. What are those? Point is you need your privacy, especially if you are married. If that is the case, your husband probably wants privacy with his wife too. And as she gets older, she is going to want her privacy too, for her solo sex life or otherwise.

Sounds like a separation problem, honestly. I'd work on her being more independent.

enjoy it while it lasts - I miss it!

For a small minority, it indicates attachment issues that might also be visible in other way: does she have a hard time separating from you at other times?

OP here.
I'm not sure about separating, but when she is sick and doesn't go to school, she keeps texting me constantly or calls 6 times in a row, etc.
We have a nanny (who is wonderful), but she calls me at work and asks me to come home and if someone can fill in for me. I'm a doctor, so my schedule is busy. I can't always pick up the phone when she calls.
I do check on her a few times a day. I don't mind that she calls me, but it just seems a little excessive.
