A mum still shares a bed with her two pre-teen kids and says it's not weird at all - it's actually the reason they share such a close bond. Bernie Watkins, 49, has co-slept with her children since they were born - and ten and 12 years on she still does.
The single mum said Frankie, 10, and Caden, 12, both have their own rooms and beds but have always opted to share her king-sized one. Bernie, who lives in Grenada, Spain, but is originally from Childwall, Liverpool, says it's not weird at all - it's "totally natural" and the kids have never wanted to stop.
In fact, Bernie said bedtime is the best part of their days - because they can all snuggle up and have chat before falling asleep side by side. The freelance copywriter said: "We have always been in a bed together - right from when they were newborns and I didn't want to leave them in a different room on their own.
