Double beds for children.

[Joe_the_Lion]

Just seen on Eastenders that annoying little brat, Ben, having a double bed at his age.

I had a fairly large bedroom as a child but only ever had a single bed. Then at boarding school, I was confined to a single. University halls, had a single. And to add insult to injury, most, though not all, Offcers quarters had single beds.

Is this a sign of the times insofar as parents are now giving kids double beds.

As far as I can recall I was not given the option as a child. Does this mean my mother didn't love me?

if i make it the 40th answer, do you think it'll come off the top?
by the way, always had a single bed, even when i bought my own flat, only when i married we got a double !

Aww, that reminds me... My old mate had a � single bed, bless her. She was tiny anyway, but I'd have had to have slept in it sideways!

We had single bed's as children, likewise my children. Wardy gaining influence? Now that's hilarious!!!

I had 3/4 sized bed when I was about 12. Bit of pain when I got to uni and the bed in halls was smaller than a single. Wasn't used to that.
Now I have the biggest bed I can get in my room ( a superking) as we cosleep with our youngest.

you only mention this because you are ****** that the single bed was not big enough for you AND your gay friends. cuz that you t**t

[zigzag]

as you remember you're childhood so vividly you must have some deep psychological problem,possibly being the only child.
as you,re bed seemed so big to you, suggests that you were an underweight prehaps?

does that answer this Query?

I always had a double bed, as I insisted on taking all my toys with me, and lining them up on the pillows.

Following from Cushty's post (which has now been removed) the point of a double bed is that it is big enough to be shared by two people isn't it?
Do parents feel that the age of 13 - 14 is the right time for their children to get a double bed and start sleeping with people?
When I left home at 18 I got a double bed so I could sleep with people (from time to time). Before I left home it was single beds only. I would have been confused if my parents had furnished me with a double bed on my 14th birthday.
