I've had students tell me they share a bed with their parents. They are kindergarten age. Still, it seems odd for a 6 year old (7 Korean) to sleep in bed with their folks.


you think the early settlers had separate rooms for the kids out on the trail?
you think the native Indians had the parents tipi and the kids tipi?
tribes of past and today still share rooms and beds, it's natural and its been this way for thousands of years.

but yes in todays conservative messed up world I can see why you would think it's wrong.
I think it's a beautiful thing.


How did they make more babies then?
I think they had sex.

I didn't say I think it's wrong, just odd.
It does make me chuckle because every time they tell me they stayed at Grandma's house for the weekend or that their parents went on a "trip" to a city 25 minutes away, I know their parents are totally getting it on.

I think the most offensive thing about all this is that I just read someone spell "teepee" like "tipi".

That said, ween 'em when they get teeth. ~1. Anything beyond that is basically just thumb sucking.
