Sort of spinoff of Liza's post from yesterday
Please do not flame me...
At the end of this month, my SIl and BIL are going to be staying with us for four days. SIL is 13 and BIL is 12 (just 12 last week). We are thinking that DH and BIL will sleep on the futon in the living room and SIL and I will sleep in our bedroom. Mainly this is b/c BIL gets very nervous away from his mom and when he has stayed with us before (SIL wasn't there) DH ended up sleeping with him to calm him down.
I don't really think it is that strange, I used to share a bed with my best friends in high school, but I have just been thinking maybe we are in the minority are we shouldn't be doing it.

I think that's totally acceptable. I personally see no problem with that.

Re: Sort of spinoff of Liza's post from yesterday
Hmm I dunno. I kind of think it's weird. I too remember sleeping with my friends up through High School, but you guys are much older than them (no offense!). I guess if the kids don't mind and the parents don't mind it's fine 
When I started reading I thought oh dear lord, her SIL (that OTHER one) is coming to visit, oh boy!

I don't think it's weird...my girlfriends & I slept in the same bed as kids too. As long as the kids are comfortable with it, I think it's perfectly fine!

I don't think it's weird. If this is what it takes to keep him from freaking out, what's wrong with that? What I would find weird is if THIS made him freak out/be nervous. KWIM? Sometimes, I think we worry too much about what others think and see. I call them "Elliot Stabler moments" or "SVU" moments.

Twelve can be a tough age- if it helps your BIL, then I can't see anything wrong with it.

Re: Sort of spinoff of Liza's post from yesterday
I don't see anything wrong with it...I mean if you had a zillion bedrooms then yeah - they should be given their own space but the reality is that there are only so many beds. I think the way you split it up is perfect as long as the kids are cool with it.
