In a recent interview with Belfast, Kim explained: "Before the big bed was created, I spent my night's bed running about from room to room trying to get all the children to sleep. I am there for my children 24 hours a day and night. Whether they have a bad dream or want a drink of water, I will be there for them during the night just like I am during the day."

Every family is allowed to do what is best for them.
