Charley, who plays Debbie Dingle in the soap, shared an adorable image of her three-year-old son Bowie asleep with her in bed to make her point.

She wrote: “I’ve found since having kids everyone’s got an opinion on what’s right and what’s wrong. ‘Don’t let them in your bed, you’re making a rod for your own back.’

“No, I will let them in my bed.

“And I will wake up to a tiny face resting on my arm because I want to. They’re babies and then they’re grown up, so much quicker than I ever thought was possible.

“Always do what is right for you and your kids. Not annoying people around you thinking they know best. They don’t.”

While another said: “Amen to that!!! My two-year-old is with me every night.”

Charley, who’s married to fellow Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden and mum to nine-year-old Buster as well as Bowie, recently opened up about the stresses of being pregnant.

In a brutally honest tweet, she said: “I am SO tired. It gets to 4pm and I’m done. I forget just how tiring being pregnant is. And then I do it again and remember.”

Earlier this month, Charley also revealed she’s been suffering from morning sickness and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), a condition that causes excessive movement of the pubic symphysis, as well as associated pain, possibly because of a misalignment of the pelvis.
