Poor people didn’t have a home with multiple rooms. Children weren’t shielded from the concepts of baby making to the extent that they are today.
The idea that making a family isn’t family friendly is the result of recent cultural norms that are facilitated by our larger homes, cheaper beds, abundant bedding, whole home heating, etc.
In theory I wouldn’t care if it was normal and a necessity, but, prefer my bed to be to myself and my partner, as well as my room. Not cause of what the children might think, but because I like not having anyone else there. So good riddance to that.
Bed, Or room?
Both.

Of course. We are products of our time.
In previous times, even the richest of that time would rather have had a bed mate to keep them company in the darkness of the night.
Bed. This was common practice for millenia and done mainly for warmth.
Well, I for one am glad we have left that particular detail in the past more or less.
