Do you let your adult children sleep in your bed?


Recommended Posts

Our Ellie snuggles in between us every night..75 or so pounds,pure pit bull.

She's a rescue doggie and was abused during her first year of life,beat and left outside tied up..she has some joint areas that will never grow back fur...she's spoiled now.

She runs the show...nothing is off limits..other beds,couches,my recliner,love seat..

When our schnauzer was getting older, like ten years old, we decided she could sleep in our bed. At that age she was pretty calm and didn’t move around much in the night. She was the size of a typical cat, so no big deal. She lived to be fifteen. She was a good dog.

I've had two pets in the past, both about 15 lbs and I used to let them sleep in my bed.  

Some of you know from the other thread, that I'm looking to adopt a golden.  Golden's can be anywhere from 50-90 lbs and shed a lot.  

 

I'm thinking that if I do get the dog I'm targeted, probably have him sleep in a dog bed or crate next to the bed.

 

no, i sleep in their bed. much easier that way.

Our Walkerhound never did, but he would sleep in a chair or one side of a couch. He only moved to a bed on the coldest days.

 

Our Jack-a-bee...pfft, the first thing he does it look for someone in bed. And he doesn't just lay on the bed, he burrows under a blanket and completely covers himself up.

 

We got him at the shelter, they said he was a stray, and I've wondered if having to hide himself at night while he was on the streets doesn't have something to do with the burrowing.

Isn't it a "cage."

 

I love telling my whacked dog people (not to say you are Rw/C... ?) this... It gets them going.  Is is really so bad to put them in a cage.  A crate, IMO, implies that you can't "cage them"  which one is really doing!  LoL...

 

I love semantics and people's emotions.

It’s always a stage in life when the dog or cat can’t easily leap up on the bed, suffering a hit like Christian Akoye took.

 

my cats have made an immediate determined effort put a little more leg power into the second and successful attempt.

No. My cat goes out once it starts getting dark, stays out all night, then comes back in the morning and sleeps all day. I was never even a cat person but I took him in cause he was homeless. In my neck of the woods I'm surprised he isn't dead or spray painted every day.

I had two Goldens when I met my wife. It was a package deal. As long as they lived they tried to wedge themselves between us, despite seeming to love my wife as much as she loved them. The most recent 60 lb Golden we were going to try to keep her on the floor or her bed, but she had a health scare and we almost lost her when she was two. She’s 9 now and she’s welcome anywhere she wants to go. Sleeps in our bed at night and her bed in my wife’s closet much of the day. If I snore and the wife leaves, the dog goes with her.

Can't say I blame the dog!  Dogs don't like snoring either! Only like it when they are snoring!

When I was young &  had my first dog that wasn’t the ‘family dog’ he slept on the bed- when he was a puppy he’d whimper until on the bed, I broke easy then. Had GF’s who loved him, others were m’eh. Those that loved him, let him sleep on bed. He’d sit in the front of the car & go everywhere with me.  He’d crack it if someone sat in the front, sit and give them the ‘Paddington Stare’. Once, he just came through the gap between driver and passenger seat and sat on the GF’s lap. Was a great dog.

The other 2, no. They have beds & a command for going to bed.

Wife isn’t into dogs, though when pregnant, the girl dog would sleep next to her and follow her around constantly. Now the girl’s 16 1/2 & sleeps on a dog mattress or day bed, the younger dog has a bed, though often will be found in doorway of kids bedrooms, blocking door. Running joke with kids is he’s never asleep on the couch, if my wife catches him on couch he’ll often bury head under cushion, he’s occasionally on couch, I think he knows it pisses her off.

I am dating someone and her not allowing her rat dog thing to sleep in her bed makes her more attractive

Just having a rat dog is auto DQ. Can't stand those things and they want to bring them everywhere. 

 

No pets in bedroom. Have enough trouble sleeping as it is, I don't need the cat trying to style my hair at 3 am.

Do traditional farm animals count?  Asking for a friend..

 

15-year-old Queensland heeler does not. Never has.  She sleeps on a dog bed in the room. 

 

The two cats, yes..but they sleep around.  Usually with us but more and more with the boys.

Hmmmmm....l kinda would like to know a little more to this.

 

I go to bed - no cat.................I wake up and there's a cat sleeping on my hip, my chest, etc. - depending on what position I'm in. 

 

Looks something like this:

I've had two friends in the past that let their adult children sleep with them.  One was 185 lbs and the other had a 225 lbs.

 

My son is 3 and I let him sleep in my bed now but probably will make him stop when he starts elementary school.

 

i'm slightly perplexed as to what exactly is going on here.

My kids often start there when it’s bed time, group story then 1 by 1 relocation occurs. The youngest usually ends up in there most nights, he’s be 45lbs dripping wet...
