Not really no, although we were often allowed into their bed on weekend mornings. We were a very cuddly, huggy type of family but everyone slept in their own bed.

Interesting! No, my parents didn't co-sleep so I never thought of doing it either.

Nope. They would let me in their bed if I had a nightmare, or I was allowed to sleep in there with my mom when my dad was out of town on business but that's it. I think it's important that my parents had their own space. Hubs and I will not be co-sleeping with our kids. For the first few weeks we'll probably have the baby in our room in a bassinet to facilitate night time feedings, but never in the bed.

Yep. For a while all 5 of us slept on the floor together!

Nope. I was never allowed to sleep in my parents' bed, even if I had a nightmare. When I did wake up from a bad dream I would go get my mom, and she would bring me back to my room and sit with me while I fell back asleep. I think I'm going to try the same strategy with my own kids, so DH and I can keep the bed as our own space.

No, but I didn't like to sleep alone so I would sleep in my sister's bed when I was young. I had such a good sister for letting me bunk with her!

Nope. We'd co-sleep with our sisters sometimes (4 girls) but not our parents. I had nightmares for awhile when I was little - I was in a house that burnt down (it wasn't a close call for getting out), but I still had nightmares for awhile - even then I wasn't allowed in their bed. I think I would have been better rested though if I had, I was a scared little thing.

I didn't sleep in my parent's room. I wasn't allowed in their room at all actually.

I did, yes. Until I was about four, but if I woke up in the night with a nightmare I was allowed back in with them and my baby sister who slept in a sidecar. After age five or so, if I came into their room at night I was allowed to stay, but on the floor, not in the bed. Once my sister moved into the room with me, I stayed. I felt safer with her there, even if she was just two!

We plan on cosleeping with our kids too, first with a sidecar and then with a floor bed near our bed, until they are comfortable enough in their own room to sleep through the night.

Nope, only when we were sick or had a bad dream were we allowed to sleep in my parents bed. I plan to do the same with my children.

Never. My best friend let her baby co-sleep in their bed for the first two years and now nothing they do will stop a screaming tantrum at bedtime to make her sleep alone. I'm sorry but my husband and I feel that a great marriage includes great spontaneous sex and that must be very difficult to do when you have a 3 year old in your bed! Haha We aren't much for doing it in crazy places and I don't want to start a habit that may be difficult to stop so my little ones get their own rooms and own beds.
