We've been know to institute "movie nights" and allow the littles to sleep in the LR for the night and we sneak away once they're asleep. Or we just go elsewhere. 
I thihk the appropriate time to end cosleeping is when it becomes an issue for one or all parties. We are just now transitioning DS 3 into his own space but it's for space issues. We are huge cosleeping advocates here but it can cause resentment if the arrangement causes issues. For this reason, we did not cosleep with DS #2 when he was a baby b/c he did not sleep well in a family bed. He slept in his own space in our room. Now he wants to cosleep and we do but when it wasn't working, we didn't.
