brother and sister sleep in the same bed? should i worry?

Question

i babysit my niece and nephew a lot, sometimes they stay at my house over night. i only have one spare room so they sleep in the same bed, and i guess i just wanted to know if i should worry about them. my niece is 8 and nephew is 10 and they've shared a bed before. they grew up sneaking into each others beds in the middle of the night. me and their mother(my sister) grew up doing the same thing but we were both girls. i'm NOT worried, but i'm wondering if i should worry.
and this next question is just in case the subject ever turns up, but how much would be too much cuddling for these two? they don't really cuddle, but if they were to ever begin, what should be the boundaries? and what would be okay?
i feel kind of ashamed for asking though because they are family and i don't feel like i should question them. not to mention, they haven't yet gave me a reason to be concerned.
and one last thing, when should i stop letting them sleep in the same bed? should i just wait until they are uncomfortable, or should i do it at a certain age? my sister and i shared a room and slept in the same bed sometimes until she moved out. they don't share a room at their home but like i said, they do sleep in the same bed sometimes. i don't see anything wrong with it of course, i just want to make sure i'm making the right decisions for them.

Answer 1

thats not wrong. but keep look out on them because kids nowadays know alot more than you think.

Answer 2

This is normal. My cousins are brother and sister and they sleep in his room in the same bed at times but only when she's afraid to sleep in her room. They're the same age as your niece and nephew. Um, if it seems like they're doing unusual things together then that's when it's a problem. You should keep their bedroom door open when you're there.

Answer 3

its completely normal for siblings to sleep in the same bed, i used to sleep in the same bed as my sister sometimes cuz she was afraid of monsters would come and get her in the middle of the night lol

Answer 4

Siblings in bed together is nothing to worry about

Answer 5

They are fine. Don't separate them because it will make them question the reason, hence you have opened a can of worms. If they aren't doing anything.....unseemly then let them be.

Answer 6

I don't think it's wrong but you should check up on them time to time just in case if they might do anything . (: good luck <3

Answer 7

Yes. It gives me that feeling too. They might be having sex. Sorry to say that, but who knows??? Let your parents know.

Answer 8

young is okay i think
