        My DS sleeps in his own room since 3 years old but the problem is he brings his daddy along & refuse to let him go until now........ He is 12 already. When he was 6 years old, we successfully trained him to sleep alone but when he went P1, he got scared by ghost stories told by his classmates & our effort went to the drain. :gloomy:


        How now? 😢

        Don't worry he will soon outgrown this stage. There will come an age when they don't want you around. Might even shoo you out of their rooms. Just enjoy the last bit of your \"baby\" before he claims his independence.

          There are some things that the kids will simply stop doing after a certain age. Eg. Holding your hand, giving you that big hug and kiss in public, telling you much they love you…don’t we all miss that. Likewise for sleeping with parents. My 11 yr old and 7 yr old are both still sleeping with us. My room looks like a refugee camp! So many pillows, blankets, blosters, mattress all stacked on my bed in the day. Their room is not used unless someone falls sick!

            So true. My kids (11&12) still sleep in the same room as us, on their own bed tho.....simply because we refused to let them on our bed. We only allow that when they are sick. But every night, both still request that we 'lie' down with them for 5-10mins during their sleep time. And it's true, after a certain age, they stop certain actions....eg. DS refused to hug and kiss goodbye at school tho he is still very lovey/dovey at home.

              LOL - couldn't be bothered. Our 3 older kids are on a double-decker with a pull-out.

              Phankao! Don't they fight over who sleeps at the top deck?!!!!

              Nope. Eldest on top. Youngest on the floor

                  No. Since Pri 1, told him to sleep by himself. Converted the guest room to his personal room.
