Bunk beds are allowed!

Well we were licenses on Thursday and got two red headed brothers 3 and 5 on Friday. These boys had already been in 4 foster homes in a short period of time. They did not know what a mother was and they sure did not know anything about behaving. They were allowed to jump on the bed in the previous foster homes but I have never let my own children jump on the bed and I wasn't about to allow them to. It was very hard to brake them so me and my husband very quickly took the bunk beds down. I was so afraid that they would jump off the top. So be careful if you do have bunk beds no matter how strict you are you do not know what they were allowed to do before your home. After we took the beds down we still had problems with them jumping on the beds. I guess I have said too much but just be careful. Penny

I grew up in a house full of 7 siblings (all bio, same parents) and we ALWAYS had 2 sets of bunks in use. They help with being able to fit dressers, toys and desks into the rooms where single beds would take up all the floor space. I loved having lots of siblings, and I regret not having been able to have siblings for my daughter to grow up with. After I had her, her father left us. I asked him for another baby before he left, but nope. So she grew up alone. Now she's worried about sharing me and her step-dad with anyone else. We've got lots of work ahead of us!

Our home has a few safety rules to go with the top bunk... 1. The top bunk is only for sleeping, reading or watching a video. 2. No one, absolutely no one, under the age of six is allowed up top. 3. There are stairs on the ladder for a reason - use them, don't jump! Even with all our foster placements and visiting guests, we have yet to have a problem. For those of you considering the use of bunk beds for foster children, check your licensing requirements before purchase. Also, keep in mind, most "experts" discourage the use of the top bunk be children under the age of seven.

To ensure your bunk beds are allowed, you should check with the government. You can check your local government to see if they have any guidelines regarding bunk beds at payless furniture. The rules and regulations are commonly found on the state or city's website. You can check out your state and city's site for more information about bunk beds.
