[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 44801, member: 87"] Well, Melissa actually slept in her own bed until she was about 4. Then we moved to a new house and she began sleeping in our bed. We put her to bed in her own bed, but she would sneak into our bed in the middle of the night so eventually we just let her sleep with us from the start. We only had a double bed at the time and 2 dogs and a cat. She slept in our bed until she was probably 8. However, then she slept on our bedroom floor on my side of the bed. She did this until she was TWENTY YEARS OLD!!!! She has a great fear of a stranger breaking into the house and killing her. I am serious. She now sleeps on the couch with the light on and TV on all night. It is the only way she can sleep. I see no problem with a young child sleeping in their parent's (grandparent's) bed. It becomes a problem when the kid is a teenager and won't move off the parent's floor because they are too scared. I'm speaking from my experience. I don't know how we could have done it differently. We told her over and over to sleep in her own room. Her friends told her she was too old to sleep in our room. She would start out in her own bed, we would go to bed, and not long after that she would drag her sleeping bag and pillow into our room. (sigh) You'll have to do what feels right for you.
