They begged and begged for their own bunkbed so they wouldn't have to sleep together in the same bed but when hubby is home they go to bed in seperate beds but they always end up snuggling together in the same bed. so my ? is how old is too old for them to be sleeping with me and each other. they have a very strong sister bond and they just love to sleep in bed with me and for some reason they are always wanting to wear my nightgowns to bed....too funny! Just wondering what ya'lls opinion is on this. thanks

That is fine, my kids use to jump into bed with me and snuggle up all the time they were about that age 11 or maybe a little older I forget...lol , and I miss those days...lol When your hubby is away there is nothing wrong with them sleeping with you. I hear in Europe that is a custom where they share the room to be close. They did surveys that showed the children and parents bonded better, here in the US its shun. Believe me this to shall pass so let them continue they do out grow it trust me. So enjoy it!!!
