I am Asian too (Taiwanese, first generation). I must say, I have NEVER slept in my parents' bed. It's NOT a culture thing. There is plenty of Asian families I know that don't let their kids sleep in their beds.
If your kids grew out "fine", well then, you should consider yourself lucky. Perhaps you have set your boundaries right in other areas of their lives.
Point is, sometimes kids become too much of a focus in a family (soccer games, piano lessons, birthday parties, etc.). Parents these days don't have much private time for one another anymore! Sleep time is a perfect time to be intimate with my mate (it's average 8 hours!). Kids should not take that precious time as well.
I know everyone thinks differently so I will say, this is just how I'd deal with the situation personally. |
