Is it normal for a niece and uncle to sleep next to each other?

My family has been arguing about this for a while. Is it normal for a niece to fall asleep laying next to her uncle while in the same bed? Not in a sexual way, just sleeping.

    It raises further questions like why are they lying in the bed in the first place?

    Mahatma Gandhi used to sleep naked with his young niece to supposedly 'prove his celibacy'. Personally I think he was a was a disgusting pervert

    Why not? they are family and they love each other.
    People are so paranoid and overly sensitive.

    It depends on age and how close the family is.

    1. Why were they both in the same bed?

    2. How old is the niece and the uncle?

    I have nieces that we share sex stories, ideas, fantasies, etc.... But we are adults, not kids under 21.

    Normal. Sleeping in bed Jackson-style with strangers' kids is not normal.

    It depends on the context. I use to do that all the time. Of course, the last time it happened I was 10, my eldest niece was 7, and my (at that time) youngest one was 4.

    When my youngest niece was a toddler one of my brothers took my other brother in because he couldn't afford to live on campus. She was always climbing into bed with him and if he was napping on the couch she'd climb up on top of him. It's just something kids do with relatives they feel close to.

    I could also see it if they were at a family reunion and they went to one of the bedrooms so they could catch up without distraction. Really no reason to worry as long as they're both adults or they're both children. If I had a 5 year old daughter and one of my brothers (the youngest of which is almost 37) took her into a bedroom I'd get suspicious, but no one would think anything of my 26 year old niece taking her 32 year old uncle into a bedroom so they can talk in private. To them it would be no different than if she were to take her brother aside to talk to him.

    And in some cases it's very easy to do. My parents' guest room doubles as my dad's computer room, so if one of my nieces and I were in there talking to my dad while he was working on the computer, depending on how tired we were, it would very well be possible that I'd be waking up next to my niece.

    So whether or not it's normal depends on a few things. Are they both children? That's normal. Is it a little child crawling into bed with her uncle? Again, normal. Kids do stuff like that. When I was 4 I'd always crawl into bed with my favorite aunt and if she woke up she'd even sing me to sleep. Two adults talking in private who just happen to fall asleep? Not common but nothing to worry about.

    If it's a grown man who takes a little girl to bed with him, though, as in she sleeps with him or she doesn't sleep, I'd be placing hidden cameras in his room.

    How old is this niece by the way. If she s a teenager and above yuck no. If she's just a little kid I guess that's fine

    No, that's pretty weird. Why don't they just sleep in separate beds?

    Why are they sharing a bed? Is there a lack of beds/bedrooms? Are you sure there isn't any sexual activity going on? If no sexual activity/sexual abuse is taking place then it's fine. A bit odd, but fine. Maybe they're just very close. I know that if I was extremely close to a relative, I'd want to share a bed with him/her too. Under that circumstance it's completely normal and I hope that's the case between the uncle and niece.

    I would say know...I once had a close friend that slept next to her father when she went over on weekends to get on the piss with him, he also abused her sexually when she was younger and to this day it still doesn't make sense to me...

    Are you from the south?

      Why? the states with the highest numbers of sex offenders include only one southern state, Florida, and more than half that state aren't native Floridians. The rest are north and midwest. Doh.

        I wonder what it is about Florida that makes them flock there. O_0

          Who knows, Florida is a melting pot for people all around the country.

          Here's a map of registered sex offenders by state.

          <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127235597" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?st...</a>

          Oregon leads the way with 574 per 100,000 with Michigan in 2nd with 451 per 100,000.

          Anyway, the whole "The South is known for their rapes and incest" is a myth.

          Florida is the highest of the states in the Southern region and its 12th overall of 50.

        I don't think that was about sex offenders. it was probably about slight incest being legal in the south.

          Incest isn't legal any where in the United States, and in fact the South has the harshest penalties if convicted.

          Where you get your information?..

            Marrying your own cousin is incest, and that's definitely legal in the south.

              No European country prohibits (That means it's legal throughout Europe) marriage between first cousins. Ironic since it's usually Europeans who mock the the U.S. deep south.

              It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The U.S. is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions.

              Also, it's legal in both the North and South.

              http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Cousin_marriage_map1.svg

              blue states = legal.

    No, it is not normal. When ever you put an older person in the same room with a younger person, some kind of pedophilia WILL take place..

        Yes, that was sarcasm. I hate how this is what people these days think. I love kids, but when I go to the playground to play with them, their parents usually come and take them away.

            Don't worry, I usually bring hard candies for the kids, they aren't terrified.
