"i slept with my parents" LOL! dont you mean "i slept in my parents bed" because "i slept with my parents" sound like you had sex XD (cant stop laughing)
Do you mean like always sleep in their own bed?
Because obviously on thundery nights a 7+ yo will still sleep in the parents bed.
Plus there are many other times where they just need comforting. This can happen well up into early teenage years.
No kids here but I started sleeping in my own bed at 16, don't ask. Though there was a brief time of a couple months where I had my own bed in my grandma's room.
Lol. I shared a room and the floor (air bed sometimes) with my mom. There were only 4 rooms and 7 people. I would have slept out on the couch, which I did try for a week, but I got scared.. don't ask. ;)
