Is it wrong that my daughter sleeps in the same bed as her father?

Own bed but she might feel scared there cause she not there as much as your house

My son pretty much slept next to me till the age of 11 even tho he’s always had his own bed and he’s 13 this year and sometimes I wake up and he’s snuggled next to me it’s completely normal don’t stress

She should have her own bed so there is a choice however what goes for mum goes for dad. I don’t have a problem with snuggling with mum or dad. Please don’t be alarmist and see wrong in every action.

No its not appropriate! Men naturally awake in the morning with erections as a normal thing, question is answered! Not saying anything would happen although mother nature should not have to be introduced to a child’s mind for questioning

I loved sleeping in my dads bed! I was only there a night or two because I lived out of state but It was like a sleep over! I would wear one of his tshirts that fell to the ground like a dress and cuddle right up!

Not a good ideal at that age.own bed own room.

We’ve seen this question many times before. Not even reworded much, just fewer details than last time.

It’s fine if that’s where she is choosing to sleep instead of forced to sleep. She may not see him much and misses him and just falls asleep in there to be close. Honestly do you think he’s doing anything wrong? If so they why are you allowing him to even have her? My 6 yr old son sleeps with me. For the life of me I can’t get him in his own room.been in my room since birth. Is it wrong no is it odd maybe to some but it is us… not every household is the same. Ask her if that’s where she wants to sleep and if she feels safe there. If it’s her choice and is safe then let the girl get her beauty sleep.

If you are questioning this because of the new and now days of open abuse then stop. If you have seen behavioral changes and other things that make you question then there is the answer. Too many people fear now for what could be or happen then actually looking at a situation for what it is. You in your question with the details show paranoia unless there are things you did not include. If she wa 10 or 12 huge issue at 7 with divorced parent totally normal. Use gut not others experiences to ask these questions. If you gut says something is up, then no need to ask the world on FB. You already know.

sometimes my son who is 14 will come and lay in bed with me for a little bit to get some time together. Age shouldnt be a factor. if hes an every other weekend dad, it might be a confort thing. Im not sure why anyone would be concerned about it being healthy at a certain age. My question is how would it be unhealthy?

You’re sexualising the relationship between Father and Daughter, and it’s disgusting.
You’re not doing the same when she sleeps with you, and that makes you the problem.

Sure, she should should have her own bed as an option when she stays with her father. But that’s not really your issue, is it.

1st of all your assuming? Making accusations against someone is wrong apparently he’s your ex for a reason. So if this a an attempt to make him lose custody of his child your petty as a woman. Because I’m quite sure you know he wouldn’t do anything to harm his child. So maybe your in your feelings and you should seek counseling and not seek social media advice. This is definitely the wrong way to overreact. Sorry Not Sorry.

My SD 4 sleeps with us and I find it inappropriate for her age if it wS every now and then ok but she will have a melt down on you telling her its time to go to her bed. When she was 2 - 3 we let it happen bc she was only there on the weekend and we have a one bedroom apartment and then I had to sit my husband down and say she needs her own bed and now she needs her own room. I would just talk to your ex and say hey I believe our daughter would benefit if she had her own space at your home too.

I shared a bed with my father and my brother for as long as I can remember. After my parents divorced!

It might have something that started off as a comfort thing but has kept going (I don’t know how long) my 7.5 year old always jumps at the chance to sleep beside mammy or daddy if either of us are away which I can see her doing gor many a year yet. Its all about comfort and security but at the same time u don’t want her getting to 9 or 10 and depending on it because she can’t sleep on her own while there. It’s probably worth having a chat with your ex to see what plans he has around this

Definitely over reacting, unless you have reason to believe otherwise, in which case she wouldn’t be going over there. If she spends most of her time with you she probably misses him and takes advantage of being able to be next to him at bedtime. If it brings her comfort, let her have that.

Everyone is jumping to the conclusion shes concerned of the sexual wellbeing of her daughter. She’s asking if it’s HEALTHY, as in should a 7 yr old sleep in her parents bed SO MUCH. Jesus people.
I think if she only sees her dad every once in a while and he doesn’t have the space for another kids bed it isn’t a big deal, however he needs to try to get her in her own bed

She may not feel as comfortable or safe at dads house so usesers his bed for security

Maybe just the fact she lives with you primarly when shes with her dad she just wants to always be with him. I would maybe talk to him about it, I wouldnt see a problem until it becomes a problem (like she will only sleep with him and not in her own room or anything)

You can’t stop what happens at his place. Now if you suspect abuse or him having a female in the bed at the same time, then you have a case, but otherwise courts won’t care.

Bed sharing is def a personal decision, I don’t like to sleep with my kids, my ex does, I think you do what works for you, that being said, I think all children should be offered their own safe place to sleep if they choose. If she wants to sleep with her Daddy and her Daddy wants to sleep with her, obv as long as she’s getting good sleep and in a comfortable bed, let them be cozy

My 11 year old son sometimes wants to climb in bed with me. I am his safe space. Maybe she sees daddy as a safe space since she doesn’t see him as often as she sees you. Try talking to her and seeing why she does it. Go in to the conversation with an open mind. I talked to my son and asked him why and he simply said that he sometimes just needs to be by his mom. And that was the end of it. Kids need their parents.

My 8 yo daughter sleeps with her dad/my husband if I’m not home. She has her own room but sometimes wants to be closer to him if I’m gone or closer to me if he’s gone. I 100% trust him and have a close relationship like this with my dad so in our family it’s very normal. I also know that instinctively if we were say wild still we wouldn’t have our own rooms and we would all be sleeping together for warmth so it’s not at all unnatural for our kids to want to sleep with us. The only time I would be concerned is if another woman stayed over as well or if there were signs of abuse.

Since she doesn’t see him very often, it may make her feel safer to be close to him at his house. I don’t see anything wrong with it

These comment make me so sad and concerned.

  1. she asked if it was healthy for the child, she did not mention sexual abuse…
  2. The amount of people attacking her is so concerning, saying “its sick that she would think that way” granted this post doesnt come off to me as being about sexual abuse, if it was you are all attacking her for looking out for her child!
    News flash sexual abuse does happen and is almost always a close relative or friend treated like a relative! A mother (or father for that matter) should never be attacked for being hyper vigilant when it comes to their childs safety and well being!

It’s totally normal for children to want to sleep near their parents. As long as you don’t feel any concern about your exes conduct, I think it’s perfectly harmless. They grow out of it naturally.

She probably does that because she sees him less than she sees you and misses him. I slept with my Dad until he married my step mom when I was almost 6. And I’m sure we would have kept that arrangement much longer if he had been a single dad longer. I’m a daddy’s girl. :crazy_face:

I snuck in to sleep with my dad until I was 12 lol. There is zero inappropriate about a child sleeping with their parents. I had anxiety and fear, and sleeping near my dad made that go away. I knew I was safe as long as he was close to me.

Now, as a parent myself, I sleep with both of my sons in the same bed as me. They won’t sleep anywhere else for similar reasons. The oldest is 6. There is, once again, nothing inappropriate about it. I make them feel safe and secure, and they like Mommy snuggles while they fall asleep. My oldest says it gives him good dreams if he has hugs before bed. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I am in the EXACT same boat. I have a 7 and 3yr old with my ex husband. They have their own room and beds at my house, and they sleep in them. My ex gets them on weekends and the girls always sleep in the bed with him. I’ve told my 7yr old that she’s getting to big to be sharing beds with me or her father on a regular basis. I understand every now and then but I feel if they can do it at my house all week, they can do it at his on weekends. I’ve also voiced this to my ex, his response is he misses having them, and it makes him feel not so lonely.

My kids are 6 and 8. They’ve slept in the same bed as me since my divorce 3 years ago. They feel safe and secure. Unless you suspect otherwise, I would say its a security issue.

My parents divorced when I was 7 and when I was with my father we always shared a bed, staying up late and watching movies. I don’t think he got my room in house sorted until I was about 12 when I started having friends stay over. It’s no big deal as long as your child is comfortable still. Xx

Good lord! Nothing wrong with it!

I think you know your ex husband so answer your own question seriously. She probably misses him and feels safe I see nothing wrong.

Wow, this is another example of why so many dads are afraid to bond to their children due to the fear of their parental rights and behaviors being deemed “inappropriate” by their ex. Its completely appropriate and acceptable for a father to sleep with his daughter in the same bed. Maybe you should look at yourself and ask why you are so bothered by it?

Thats a stupid question to ask. If it ain’t a problem for a child to sleep in the bed with their mom then what makes it a problem for the child to sleep in the same bed as their DAD!

When I was a kid I used to get anxiety when I slept somewhere aside from the norm even if it was with family i.e. my grandparents house. My sister and I would sleep with my grandmother. It may be a different dynamic but I think it just may be a comfort thing. In that feel proud that your daughter is comfortable enough in your care to be independent. That’s a win mama! :heart:

You wouldn’t want to know how old my grandson is. He still sleeps with me.

I think you’re trying to cope with the divorce and trying to create a problem that isn’t there so you don’t have to see the dad…

My almost nine year old son still sleeps in the bed with me and his dad. Hes slowly starting to branch off and more and more nights we are finding him in his own bed. But it’s never been a big deal. Some kids need the security and extra reassurance. She could just be missing him. Or maybe because she’s with you more she doesn’t feel as secure alone at his place so she wants to be close to dad. Now you know your ex more than we do. My advice is only for the information given. If there is no prior issues with your ex and any type of abuse then I’d say it’s fine and normal.

It’s fine she still young and who don’t like cuddles enjoy few more years she won’t be wanting to cuddle also she probably missed her daddy

If she lives with you most of the time, how could she possibly be sleeping next to her dad on a regular basis? She misses him and I think it’s completely normal. One good bit of advice a therapist shared with me when my children were younger was that children can and will be able to adjust to the different expectations and routines at home vs. the other parent. He compared it to children knowing the different routines and expectations at school vs home. It’s not going to be detrimental to her for there to be different things happening in each home so long as they are healthy.
My children sometimes sleep in my bed with me and they are older than your daughter.
