Sleeping wth children

Dd co sleeps with both DGDs! They are now at 2 1/2 trying to get older to sleep in own room! She is NOT COOPERATING!
She is also breast feeding both of them!

GS whos 7 and a bit would sleep in his mums bed given half the chance, but now that DD is in a new relationship and married, GS is not allowed to.

ANOTHER ONE!!! #floodgates

Each to their own, I guess, but it's not something I'd be comfortable with.

YAY !!!!!!!!! I'VE GOT AN AGREE-ER!!!!!!!!

I agree jings, in normal circumstances I would put him/her back in their own bed.
In sickness or distress I would allow it, but not as a regular thing.

Unless of course you use a Swear Word in a thread title!

The lurkers are the 'silent majority' they don't say much

Don't be looking at them for support

LARA - what d'you reckon?

The lurkers haven't spoken up yet.

Nothing wrong with it at all ! So long as everybody is happy.

OK, we're all wrong!

No I haven't!

Maybe you've just got it wrong!

I don't believe there is no one else out there feels the same as I do!

Please speak up. Join up if necessary!

"not a regular thing" - key phrase.

Nothing to do with gender.

Would you feel the same if the child was a girl, jingl? I only ask because one of my GDs often ends up in her mum's bed at some time during the night, although it's not a regular thing.

Nope. It's not right.

jingl I think you are worrying unnecessarily about the boy - the husband's position is a different matter.

I know someone, divorced, whose son insisted on sleeping in her bed most nights until he was about 10, for whatever reason.

He is now a strapping 25-year old, perfectly normal, a graduate, has a girlfriend, loads of friends and doing well.

We all have our own weirdnesses jingl

One day this little lad will tell his mum he wants his own space. Hopefully before he's 15.

It's weird.

It's all fine. A lot of it goes on. It does no harm. Panic not!

Would be interested in hearing views of a wider range of grans. We need a poll.

Is the mother crazy?

Or is she ok in this?

I wonder if the father is not doing enough to form a good "boys together" relationship with his son. Wonder if the father is the one to actually see the boy into bed at night, and read to him. Mummy needs to take a back seat.
