Is it wrong that my boyfriend sleeps next to his daughter in boxers?

I think it’s only weird if you make it. Both my husband and I sleep in underwear and will lay with our kids and nobody has ever brought up the fact that it’s weird or inappropriate. She’s 5, not 15

That completly normal . There is nothing wrong sleeping in boxers with your child no matter the age :confused:

This is what’s wrong with society we complain men don’t step up and be a dad when they do we complain they are predators.

It’s definitely not weird for him as a father…it’s kinda weird that you would think that.

Why are you sexualizing something totally normal and natural? Why is it making you uncomfortable? You need to figure that out and work on yourself. He sounds like a good dad. He’s sleeping with his 5 year old daughter which is obviously a comfort to her. All my kids at one point or another have slept in bed with my husband and I . There have been times where little to no clothing was on. A father sleeping with his daughter in boxers is normal. Because I’m sure you wouldn’t complain about a mother sleeping with her child? There’s no difference. Let them be. Work on yourself and figure out why it bothers you.

It’s you who has the problem with him sleeping in his boxers with his daughter- 5 years old no less.
My granddaughter,who is now 20 yearss old , always slept with her dad well into her teens. Always cuddling in the couch. If anyone said anything negative to her she would really tell them off.

I never slept in my mom or dad’s bedroom. But I used to sleep with my grandpa when I was at their house. And pretty much alot. He slept in his boxers. He never ever did anything. If he acts the way he does with you maybe you should have him leave since your paying the house. Besides do you know if he’s paying child support. Because if he’s not then he ISN’T PAYING ANYTHING. Time for him to leave.

Why are you sexualizing this? I’d be upset as well cuz it’s as if you are implying that he’s being inappropriate with his daughter! She’s 5 years old you’ve been with him a year I’m sure he’s probably slept this way 4 years prior to you coming along with the sexualizing of an innocent act. Should he be fully clothing and sleep at the foot of the bed for you to be okay and get out your head

I think I see both perspectives. I’m sorry people have been so cruel in comments.

I would look at the fact that he’s dismissing your feelings and from your comments doesn’t sound like he’s explained that it’s normal. He sounds defensive. And it sounds like he’s controlling you with emotions if you can’t speak or say anything…

I would look at the relationship and how he’s treating you and his child/children (in general aside from the bed stuff).

Personally I feel you should be able to voice your concerns or feelings and try to talk through them with him openly.

He might say my dad did it with me. Or like it’s not different to the mum sleeping in undies with the child. I’m not a cosleeper and I always where pjs in bed… so I’m not sure how I feel about it… but for many it is normal to sleep barely clothed… and cosleep… feel free to pm me to chat.

He maybe got angry as he felt accused of something by you saying something… but maybe you need to try approach it in a different way… so he doesn’t feel accused…

I see both sides of the situation, but just sleeping in some shorts and a shirt could help if he would do that

Not everyone is raised the same or thinks the same if it’s something you don’t agree with then fine but if it’s his kids and they all are ok with it then let it be…. Communication is key…not sure if you have kids but because you ask a question or feel differently about something shouldn’t lead to being kicked out or make you feel you can ask questions …

It’s his child. If women do it it’s no problem. They are parents too

So should I put a bra on everytime my child sleeps with me? :joy: should I put underwear on under my shorts too? Sorry, But if you don’t have kids and apparently haven’t been around a lot of kids then girly I think you need to see a therapist to talk about some childhood trauma that you never have. It’s not weird whatsoever. I’d go tf off on you too. Paying bills or not YOU don’t get to say how he parents unless he’s physically hurting that child in anyway. Might need to rethink your relationship with someone with kids if walking around in boxers or sleeping in boxers is bad lol is it only weird because he’s a dad? Not a mother? Because sometimes my kids come into my room late at nights after everyone is asleep and I’m in a t shirt and panties if that! That’s MY space. I birthed both my kids butt ass naked! I held the babies to by bare chest, breastfed? I really don’t get why you’re saying it’s uncomfortable for you

The boxer thing is normal. The way he speaks to you is not.

I sleep in a tshirt and underwear (that cover a lot less then mens boxers) most nights. Is it weird that my 8 year old still crawls into bed and cuddles up with me during the night half the time? Don’t make something innocent into something dirty. I’d get angry with you too and wouldn’t wanna be with someone who’s mind goes to the gutter bc a little girl wants to cuddle up at night with her father. She doesn’t live with you guys so it’s probably a comfort thing for her at the very least. You probably should stay silent on this issue.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dad sleeping with his 5 year old in his boxers.

I literally slept in the same bed as my father until I was 12 because we didn’t have the money to move to a bigger apartment. He wore his boxers and I want my pajamas and nothing ever uncouth happened. It is very nice for me especially when I was younger and I would have horrible nightmares. Stop being weird

The only weird thing about it is you . Let a girl cuddle her damn dad. They are only young for such a short time and soon she will be older and won’t get that anymore.

His outbursts sound like he’s annoyed with your behavior. The whole " I can’t say nothing " yeah cuz it’s his child… tf

Your issue, not his. No problem here, id get upset too if i were him

The sleeping issue isn’t the problem, the fact you can’t ask a question is a problem.
I know plenty of kids who climb in bed with their parents and mom is nothing more than a night shirt, no underwear. Dad is in boxers. Does that mean they sexualize their child?
If you think he’s doing something, open your mouth. But if your only issue is you don’t like he sleeps in boxers with his child, whom it appears he rarely sees… Why?

I think YOU have issues. Jealous imo. Absolutely normal behaviour of a loving father and 5 year old daughter

I used to sleep next to my dad when I was little if I had an accident or a nightmare. I know all people are different but my dad was never weird, just snuggled with me and made me warm because we lived in Maine with no heat upstairs so when I would come downstairs with an issue I always had very cold feet and he would always warm me up.

I see how frustrating it is that you have a concern and he ignores it but from his view your sexualizing something that won’t last forever, they grow up and move on and those memories are all we have sometimes. Core memories for me bro.

I think you need to move on. Heal from whatever trauma has you so worried. Sounds like you to aren’t on the same page. Good luck

If he were naked I’d be concerned.

My daughter is 4 and only sleeps in underwear. I sleep in panties and a cami and she is a barnacle and snuggled up against me all night.

My husband is in shorts and a tank top next to her.

Why are you making this sexual. Bed sharing and cosleeping is biologically normal.

It’s not weird. He still has clothes on it’s his child an many adults co-sleep with their kids. An he may be feeling guilty for not being with her all the time so he is co-sleeping with her to keep an maintain a strong healthy relationship with her. You’re making things weird an making him feel like he is doing something wrong when in fact he isn’t. Maybe you shouldn’t be dating someone with kids bc you clearly don’t have any kids to understand parenting let alone parenting when you’re not with the other parent.

I agree with op. He could just as easily sleep in basketball shorts. Unless you’re madly in love with this guy plan your exit strategy. I am very particular about how dads touch their daughters bc my dad ALWAYS touched our shoulders, hugged us to the side once we got boobs etc. Being held in the utmost respect by my dad has shown me that i do not like to see a dad with his hand around a daughters waist, on her hip etc. Dads are the ones to show their daughters what is and is not appropriate. Touch their upper back or shoulders or their arms. That’s it.

It’s weird if you make it weird. It’s so sad to me that a dad can’t be loving and doting on his daughter without people sexualizing it… him snuggling up to his daughter. He has boxers on. He isn’t naked. How is it any different that him hugging her in a swim suit, or taking his shirt off on a hot day and playing in shorts? I don’t blame him for getting offended. I would too. I thank god that my daughter has such a loving affectionate dad. Something we didn’t have… I can’t imagine him snuggling up to our baby girl and me getting upset about that or sexualizing it. Gross. I guarantee this wouldn’t even be a post if it was a mom and her child. Sad.
