Q1 Until what age did you sleep in the same bed as your parents (if you did)?

SURVEY

Such opinions and experiences, coming from a range of individuals, provide general hints about cultural patterns, not debatable “truths” about cultural differences.

I probably never slept in the same bed as my parents. I was put in a crib from a very young age. Then my parents probably put the crib and me in another room very soon after that, when I was just a few months old. In my country, privacy for parents is very important. The parents’ bed should remain a place for the couple, not for the family.
