When did your kids move out?

hmmm; I can't do the poll since DD still hasn't moved out at 4 yo. She did sleep by herself in a crib from 7 weeks (when she came home) till we had some emotional trauma in our family when she was almost 3. She's been in my bed ever since, but naps in her own bed. When DS was born she moved to the foot of the bed, but DS moved to a crib when he started rolling over at 3 months. He is still in the room of course.

DS1 co-slept, but I honestly don't remember when he moved out. Probably around 18 months (it was 25 years ago) he is my best argument when people try to tell me that I'll never get my kids out of my bed/room. I always tell them DS1 not only sleeps in his own bed, but in his own apartment

It would be hard for me to accurately do the poll too... two kids, and they are in different places with it I guess. Can you only choose one option?

My first child (boy, about to be 13) slept with me almost every single night of his life till age 3. About the time he was 2.5 yrs I had my second child (daughter, now 10.5 yrs) and they both slept with me then too. My son started to sleep other places gradually around 4-ish. He'd sleep on my floor in his sleeping bag, on the couch, and he eventually slept in his room. It was all his choice, always. He still often came to sleep with me up until he was about 7/8 yrs old.. but then he started to prefer his own space. He will come in sometimes now if he is sick, scared, or just needs his mom.

My daughter has been very different. Going on 11 she still sleeps with me and dad I would say about 35% of the time. She will often start out in her own room, but come into my bed around 3 or 4 am. She likes to make forts under the table and sleep in them sometimes, or she will fall asleep in the living room watching a movie. I encourage them to sleep where they feel comfortable. As long as we are happy, and sleeping it's a great thing Kristi

We moved both kids out when they started crawling. Previous to that, naps had been in their crib after about 4 months of age. I'm not a big touchy-feeling peson when I'm sleeping, so once they started crawling is about my limit for physical interaction at night. They both come into our room and have snuggles in bed.

Our girls share a room and it works great. They both sleep through the night now, too.
