If they are sleeping, then I
do think it is okay.
My husband slept with his parents - both of them - until he moved out. As did his sister and brother.
It isn`t nearly as unthinkable a scenario as you present it as.

In the states, the main objection to co-sleeping is not cultural. It's about SIDS. I may have used poor wording. There are, of course, cultural issues heres, but the previous two sentances should suffice.

What I am trying to say is that although SIDS is offered up as a reason, the
real reason is entirely cultural. SIDS is used to justify the cultural belief. The fact that SIDS rates are actually lower in co-sleepers verifies this. People believe in their culture, and want something factual to back up these beliefs. In the case of co-sleeping, SIDS is taking that role.
