Do you sleep with them in your bed and hug, kiss, and cuddle them there?

The only time I ever slept with my niece was when I graduated from college. Her whole family stayed at my tiny apartment. I was sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. In the morning, my 3 year old niece crawled into the bed with me and fell asleep.

My roommate and my brother and sister-in-law were coming in an out of the living room, so I was never really alone with her.

My husband and I are both very cautious with other people's kids. It's one thing to hug and cuddle your own kids, and it's another thing to hug and cuddle someone else's kids.

My oldest son, 6, often spends the night with my parents and he sleeps in the same bed as my mom. As many older folks do, my parents have separate bedrooms. My dad won't let my son sleep with him. Not because he thinks any of us will accuse him of anything but because he doesn't want my son telling someone at school, "hey I slept with my grandpa last night". I wouldn't have a problem with my son sleeping in the same bed as my dad but I understand his reasoning. He was in the military and you don't even give the appearance of ill behavior. That's why he couldn't understand someone in Clinton's position doing what he did.
