As the topic title says- how old was your child when thy finally left your bed to sleep in their own? I'll be honest, I have a 5 year old and 2 year old who sleep with me and they show no sign of wanting to leave anytime soon. I have visions of the two of them sleeping with me when they are 12 and 15!

Oh dear. 5? 7? 11?

DD is only 22 months but I keep telling myself she'll sleep alone soon... Or, not, by the sounds of it!
