Seriously? Why would this be wrong?

I agree with Jennifer. I can't think a
of a single reason why this would be wrong.

That was hard to answer. I answered yes but only because it will be harder to separate them as they get older. Other than that I think it's perfectly fine

at the age of 2 and 4 no but when they get over the age of 6 then yes

I said yes. But only because I believe that all children should have thier own beds in their own rooms when possible so they can get the best rest possible. I don't think that there is anything moraly wrong with it since they are so young. Since my two are still in their own cribs I don't really know 4 sure but I am guessing that even if you put them in their own beds they would end up sneeking into the other ones bed anyway since they would hear a noise or think they see a monster or something like that. If you have the room and money I would put in separate beds or a bunk bed just to make the family happy, if they at least see that they have two beds it might make them back off. I have problems with family members opionions too. I told my husband just the other day that I am up to my nose with family opions. In my case the ones with the most opinions weren't the best parents themselves. I wish you the best with this situation.

I shared a bed with my sister who is three years younger until I was in high school and that only changed because we had moved. Unless there is some special need which would make the co-sleeping arrangement a danger or concern for one of the boys, there should not be a problem except from the "he's on my side of the bed or is stealing the covers" complaints. Perhaps you should speak with your mother regarding her specific fears about the sleeping arrangement.

I think that is crazy...only adults take to a level beyond just siblings sharing a bed. My littles bathe together 1 & 2, tristian will not take a bath without his sister there for company.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Each state is different.. I'm new to TX so I don't know the laws.. but same sex siblings may share a room in NY... but if they are boy/girl siblings, they must have their own room (not sure about the sleeping arrangement laws.. but the bedroom laws for children).. I don't know if this is state to state or nationwide. Why would your Mother threaten you like that? I would have a serious talk with her AND call child protection yourself and ASK THEM. Only they will know for sure if this is a reportable situation. If it isn't a reportable situation.. you can let your Mom threaten you all she wants. If it IS reportable.. get another bed and let them share a room.. and get some counseling for your Mother and find out WHY she is threatening you. I hope all works out well for you. Good luck!

That is crazy! My son is an only child and I have his crib in my room bc i am afraid of him sleeping in his room alone. I told my husband that if he had a sibling to sleep in there with him i wouldn't mind. But when they are little they need comfort.

For a short period of time it is fine, but not every night. Kids need their own space.
