But I can't remember ever doing it. (Parents were separated...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2164240 Fri, 01 May 2015 14:36:32 +0000 miramira 2164240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe if I'd had a nightmare, otherwise, no.</p> <p>I think cosleeping/bedsharing is actually the "old school" way though... Everyone sleeping in individual rooms is a relatively modern concept (even in industrialised nations) that is not practiced worldwide. But most places won't have a special name for it - it's just "sleeping" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2164237 Fri, 01 May 2015 14:34:53 +0000 delight 2164237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as an infant. If I had a bad dream I would crawl into bed with them but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2164030 Fri, 01 May 2015 12:42:48 +0000 MaryM 2164030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even on Christmas, we had to wait until a certain time to go and wake up our parents. And we had to be already dressed in slipper and a robe (the room our christmas tree was in was cold)</p> <p>I remember waking mom up if I was sick, but then she'd go with me back to my own room and put me back to bed. </p> <p>I don't think I EVER got in my parents bed...until I grew up and they handed it down to me when they got a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2164011 Fri, 01 May 2015 12:31:57 +0000 Ajsmommy 2164011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My mom wouldn't allow it.. If I got scared I'd sneak onto my dad's side and he'd let me in. And when mom went away on girls weekends my dad would let us sleep with him. But that was it. But if you tried to get in with my mom it was a no go. She really valued her sleep! Lol. I also remember on weekends she'd sleep in and we'd get up and get our own breakfasts and watch cartoons until she got up.</p> <p>ETA: my mom still really values her sleep! when she comes to stay and watches DD we have to make sure we wake her up so she's awake in time for us to leave for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2164005 Fri, 01 May 2015 12:28:44 +0000 Mamaof2 2164005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never</p> <p>I was actually talking to my mom about this the other day - when my kids get scared they come straight to my bedroom but growing up if I got scared I went and slept on the couch - I NEVER went to find my mom - not sure why though and she didn't know why either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2163996 Fri, 01 May 2015 12:25:18 +0000 MaryM 2163996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. My dad worked an early shift so even as a baby my cradle was in the hallway outside their room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you/page/2#post-2163927 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:38:58 +0000 autumnlove 2163927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2163914 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:34:24 +0000 .twist. 2163914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. They would lay with me sometimes until I fell asleep and other times I would crawl in with them if I had a bad dream, but no, not otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2163909 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:32:57 +0000 whenoceansrise 2163909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I was always afraid to sleep alone! My mom and biological father got divorced when I was young so I often slept with my mom until she got remarried and my step dad wasn't a fan. I remember crying in the hall one night because I was too afraid to sleep by myself. I ended up making a pallet in the floor of my brothers room until I just finally slept in my own bed! I think it was because my mom watched a lot of scary movies with me and my brother when we were young </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2163877 Fri, 01 May 2015 11:21:26 +0000 WinterBee 2163877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I remember when I was young I would crawl into bed with my mom and dad when I had a bad dream, but I would usually wake up in my own bed again haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108805 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 18:09:59 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2108805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, they would always bring me back to my room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108735 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 16:41:03 +0000 littlejoy 2108735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of nightmares as a kid. My parents had a king size waterbed (ohhhhh 1980's) ... I would curl up at the very bottom of it most nights. </p> <p>Once I had a "big girl" bed, my mom would lay in my room with me until I fell asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108692 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:31:35 +0000 MapleMoose 2108692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I never heard of cosleeping until I came across HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108579 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:11:55 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2108579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all 3 if us! I was the youngest so no one kicked me out so I slept with my parents until i was 8. My siblings all co sleep with their kids too. We are the only ones that haven't done it fully. We sometimes cosleep with our toddler and dd2 cosleeps with me right now (8 weeks old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108503 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:41:19 +0000 Peasinapod 2108503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I did. Definitely not if my dad was home. I have a feeling me and dh will be much more open to morning snuggles and bad dream comforting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108498 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:36:20 +0000 youboots 2108498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly went in their bedroom at all, especially not to cuddle/co sleep. It's funny, I think they are now more physically affectionate with me as an adult then I ever remember as a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108474 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 11:06:25 +0000 meredithNYC 2108474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. Although my parents divorced when I was young and occasionally I would sneak into my mom's bed and she would let me stay. But both my parents and in-laws are of the opinion that in a marriage the bed should be a space just for the couple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108386 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:59:19 +0000 Meridian 2108386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... Asian parents, cuddling was not a thing. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108378 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:49:22 +0000 MrsSCB 2108378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, except when I was very little I'd go to my mom's side of the bed in the middle of the night and ask to sleep with them "for a little while." My mom would pull me in and my dad would have no idea till morning, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108376 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:47:06 +0000 travelgirl1 2108376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. Because of space though, my two youngest sisters slept in their room until we moved to a three bed house (one in a crib and one on an air bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108271 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:21:04 +0000 lady baltimore 2108271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom coslept with me on a mattress in the nursery when I was a baby and still feeding in the MotN. </p> <p>When I was older, I'd sometimes go into their room when I wasn't feeling well, but they only let me sleep on the floor next to their bed (a hardwood floor, too, so there's wasn't much incentive to do that unless I *really* needed to be near them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108247 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:39:51 +0000 blackbird 2108247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember, so I must've been really young if they did. </p> <p>We did on vacation, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108240 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:33:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2108240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ever did, or my older brother or sister. But my younger sister was very high needs and my mother broke her "never sleep with the baby in your bed" rule for her out of necessity. She swore up and down she would never... Until my sister would not sleep outside of my moms arms for a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108238 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:29:29 +0000 winniebee 2108238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108230 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:19:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2108230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, until I was 7 I slept in my parents bed, by then it was pretty much just my mom and I. My dad slept in the guest room. On Christmas Eve I always had to sleep in my own bed and I happily complied. The only reason my mom and I stopped co-sleepinh was because my brother was born. He didn't stay in her bed nearly as long as me.</p> <p>I will not co-sleep with my own kids though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108224 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:14:27 +0000 Charm54 2108224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not generally....I do remember crawling in with them in the middle of the night if I was having a bad dream but that wasn't too often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108217 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 07:10:10 +0000 travellingbee 2108217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: same here. Never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-parents-ever-cosleep-with-you#post-2108203 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 06:54:14 +0000 MrsF 2108203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I remember sleeping at the foot of their bed in a sleeping bag if I had a bad dream, but I have no memories of being in their bed. I don't think they did as newborns either. </p>
