It’s her father. Get your mind out of the gutter
I slept with my dad until the third grade, so 8 or 9. It was hard not seeing him as much and I missed him.
Swear this is a repost and reworded to be worse than the last post…
Nothing wrong with it in my eyes
I slept in same bed as my dad until around 10 when I’d go to his place on his weekends (just didn’t have the room for another bed) and he’s my bestfriend and the most amazing father in the world. No weirdness. At all.
There’s so much negativity in some of these comments
IMO - it sounds like there is definitely a trust issue here. Which I understand, as I’ve had the same kinds of concerns. Some guys are just pervs. I’m not saying that her father is, I’m just pointing out that some guys are that way. I speak from unfortunate personal experiences. That being said, she truly could just feel safe with him, I read in one of the other comments that as long as the child is going to your bed, and not the other way around its usually nothing to be concerned about. I’ve never heard that until now, but I can agree with that, to a certain age anyways. (The age factor is just my opinion). I would do some exploring into why you are asking this kind of question. What are truly your concerns? And if you do in fact suspect something negative, then you have to ask what evidence supports it? Our brains are sometimes just wired incorrectly, due to trauma, ptsd, etc… I really hope you figure this all out, and it ends up just being you’ve got an amazing dad for your daughter I’ll be sending good vibes to your family!
I don’t see peoples issue with a 7 year old sleeping with their dad?? 7 is still young and its her daddy she’s not in any harm i don’t see no harm in it atall xxx
I often would crawl into bed with my dad, he’d spoon me, and I’d feel very very safe. It’s something im still grateful for.
Yep your overreacting
Why TF do these questions continuously get posted?
My goodness he’s her daddy and she barely sees him!
My daughter sleeps with her daddy some nights I don’t get how it would be Wierd he’s her daddy
Shii if I didn’t trust my bf with my babies, I’d make sure to keep them away. But he’s a great dad and loves his babies as much as me. He prefers to co-sleep with our kids because it feels safe to him and the babies.
No I think people are getting the wrong idea here. It has nothing to do with the childs safety it is about whether it is healthy for the child to still at her age to sleep with Dad as opposed to sleeping in her own bed in her own room , since she does it with her mom. There could be many reasons as this is not her home and normal sleeping environment and she misses her Dad. But generally as a rule by that age the child should be sleeping in their own bed. I am also at fault here. I have a four year old daughter. We have joint custody with my daughter we share weekly. She is four years old and still sleeps in my single bed. I know it is unhealthy me at that age had my own bed in my own room. She is four and never slept alone. But I know in time she will move into her own room. Maybe 7 or 8 but ideally I know it is not healthy. Sleep therapy should have been done.but she is happy and feels safe with me and it bonding. And nothing bad is going on so we just go with the flow. She will leave when she is ready.
I have issues with it but I don’t know your ex either. Would you allow your daughter to sleep with her father when she is 16?
Over reacting. .she just wants to be close since he is not around all the time anymore…
This is not normal. She is too old to be sleeping with your ex husband. Why doesn’t she have her own room at his house?
No, not healthy in my opinion
My 24 and 15 year old sons would still sleep in bed with me if I allowed them to! Once in a blue moon I’ll take a nap with them. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
I would definitely start asking questions.
I would stop that…
I’ve myself slept on the same bed as my dad till I was about 9-10 years so I don’t find it strange in any way.
If your daughter is over the age of 5 its wrong. Not only your daughter but all girls and now at days even boys should not sleep with their father over a certain age. This any psychologist will tell you as well. Too many things have occured to children in this world.
In my opinion you’re overreacting I use to ask my mom or dad if I could sleep with them until I was 14
No I don’t feel that’s right shes to old to be sleep with her dad
It’s unusual but my best friend Tony his daughter did the same thing
Your all are calling him an “ex-husband” He isn’t an "ex-husband"to her. He is her Daddy. She needs love from both parents.
There’s totally nothing wrong with that, they don’t see each other as much now and one or both could have some insecurities about that, let him be a father and her be the baby
Why don’t you ask your daughter
why ask stupid questions online when they are easy to get answered by someone qualified to do it? like a doctor!
It’s so wrong absolutely wrong
It’s normal. Especially if y’all are not together. You’re not there for her to get in bed with so of course she’s going to get in bed with him. I understand because it’s your ex that it bothers you but it’s normal. It’ll be normal till she’s 18 years old. My 20 year old still crawls in bed with me sometimes
It’s not ok. What if she sees his morning Woody ? And starts asking questions ? JUST DON’T DO IT PERIOD.
Overreaching at all times. That’s his daughter…
You are all absolutely crazy !!! Men are not sex crazed dogs that try and stick it in everywhere. Just like women are not trying to jump on everything they see. Only people with serious mental illness would ever touch or even think about touching their children sexually. Father’s and mother’s see their children as children. Not as hot teens or possibly mating partners in the future. Anyone who thinks otherwise has problems themselves.
Would you let her sleep or cuddle in your bed with you and him if you were still married?
No it’s not okay you should talk to your ex and your daughter and I surely hope by now you’ve talked to her more than once about Inappropriate touching and that it can happen by anybody to her Not saying her dad’s doing it but not saying that he’s not because you don’t know until you know or you can prevent it your call she’s 7 1/2 she should have her own room her own bed and that’s where she should sleep at night I don’t care if she’s with you or him or if y’all were still together children belong in their bed especially at that age
I’m a children’s therapist and as long as it is not sexual and it is your daughter’s choice to sleep with him, it’s fine.
Is this not a nail page anymore?
She should not be sleeping in the same bed as her that is not right
Im sorry but I think you are overreacting my partner and I have a 7 year old daughter who sleeps with us both or she will sleep in the bed with him or myself there is nothing wrong with it… but asl yourself this question what about mums that have sons that still sleep in their bed it she same principle
He’s her father… I don’t understand why people need opinions regarding relationships us strangers no nothing about. No one knows your family dynamics and her relationship with her father. Everyone is trying to make it sound like his teenage daughter is sleeping in his bed not a 7 yr old child .
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. That’s just family. We just need to stop overreacting. It’s only bad when we think it’s bad.
Would it be wrong if slept with you?? Double standards much?
I was a single mother of three for many years and So many nights I had my four year old daughter in the middle, my 10 year old daughter on the other side of her and my 15 yr old son at the foot of the bed. miss those days so much and my son is gone from us. So grateful for those memories they did have their own rooms.
she probably misses her dad. as long she is still wanting to go to her dad’s I don’t think there is anything wrong.
People get your minds out of the gutter. That’s her father, she misses him.
If her behavior changes then question the situation.
Other wise let her snuggle with her daddy
Mine always slept with hers, he slept on couch due to being ill. She slept at his feet. He died when she was 8, so definitely no regrets. Glad they had that bond
Not wrong, but talk to her just in case. You’d have to be a sick f**k to do something nasty to a child…
Anyone questioning that must have hidden issues and is a sicko. What are you really thinking?? Nothing wrong til it’s wrong…
What’‘’‘’’ nothing wrong til it’s wrong ,‘’‘’‘’‘’‘’’
Nip it in the bud before she starts asking questions u may not want to answer at her age
No, it isn’t a good idea. I know from personal experience.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it! By thinking it’s ok for her to crawl into bed with you is ok but not for him you are sexualizing it on his part which is very wrong! Children often crawl into bed with a parent my boys did it with me and she will decide when it’s not ok for her anymore. So unless you have proof that something is going on don’t assume something is.

Does she have her own room there? I think if the option for her to sleep in another room is there but she doesn’t feel safe enough to sleep by herself yet, then I don’t see a problem.
If my child wants to cuddle upto her daddy then she bloody well should! That’s her dad! Nothing wrong with it!
It is ok At her age. She still very young.
Is it safe for a quite young child to feel safe sleeping next to their parent? What’s the difference is it mom or dad?
In my opinion no…truth my kid is 3 years old and I don’t agree with him sleeping with her…age 7 is worse due to many reasons and I don’t want to say publicly…
No it’s not in a lot of cases.
I believe that if it wouldn’t be wrong for her to sleep with you… then it wouldn’t be wrong for her to do the same with her father… BUT if I was in that situation I would have a conversation with her to learn more…
It’s her father. I’m in my 40’s and I remember to this day sleeping in the bed with my daddy. It was a form of protection. I’d do anything to feel protected by my daddy one more time.
I’m guessing the ones that are saying “No” are thinking of it in a predatory manner. Has dad given off the bad vibes? If so, than a conversation needs to be had. If not, let that child build that bond with her daddy.
Well I would ask him why she don’t have her own bed.
You claim you are divorced and that you SUSPECT and are ASSUMING that since your daughter sporadically sleeps with you at night she must also be doing it at her fathers house.
Your curious to know more…
#1 Stop Suspecting and assuming and use your words. Talk to your daughter and to your ex and find out more.
And no I don’t think it’s odd. I think she should have her own space at each house but if my kids want to get In the bed with one of their parents on occasion good on them.
As long as your ex isn’t a creepy abusive pos.
But you just assuming all this and not talking to anyone but the internet about it is just silly to me.
Kids over 5 need to sleep in their own bed unless they are ill. Periodt!
She needs to sleep in her own bed
You’re over reacting.
You’re not “…: overreacting “ she should be made to sleep on her own bed . Pls ! encourage her to stop sleeping on daddy’s bed .
Nothing at all is wrong w it. Just like there wouldn’t be any issue if she or if u had a son , were sleeping in the bed w you. My daughter is like that. She will not be fine w me she wants her daddy. It’s not every night but when she’s scared she goes to get her dad. It’s disgusting u are sexualizing their relationship.
She’s ok Anita… obviously you and your ex husband are divorced … But I know and if my opinion matters I think she’s ok she’s safe with her father
Tough question … but I will encourage her to sleep on her own bed … there’s nothing wrong with cuddling with parents … but it’s important to set boundaries… with either dad or mom …
I’m surprised by the amount of “oh HELL NO” I’m seeing. It’s her dad! She’s seven, not a teen. First and foremost I would think that it absolutely depends on her father’s character, the reason for the divorce, etc… but Mom did not say she had any suspicions of inappropriate behavior. The daughter usually doesn’t stay with Dad so I’m guessing - especially if it’s the daughter who is initiating this sleep situation- she’s probably just feeling nervous, lonely, and/or afraid to be in her room alone. Maybe mom could ask her daughter if that’s what it is- seven is certainly old enough to say so- and if that’s the case but she still feels uneasy about the bed sharing, they could put a portable bed or mattress in Dad’s room when she stays over so she feels secure but isn’t in Dad’s personal space.
I kinda of surprised by the answer here. But we live in a different world. Where people do things that would not cross my mind. I loved my children sleeping in bed with me. I love my grandchildren sleeping in bed with me. But it came to a natural end about age 12. When they hogged the bed.
Definitely over reacting…
Wait a min she cant be at her fathers on a regular basis if she with you most if the time… But it sounds like your assuming their something going on…grown up its her dad
Bed sharing in general can be problematic but she can sleep in her own bed without issue so I’d let that fight go. If she was headed to college and couldn’t self soothe to sleep I’d worry but not now. Their relationship is going to be different than yours, it’s OK. It’s hard to relinquish control but if she is safe and happy and feels loved by the both of ya and you each instill life traits yall are doing great even if it’s not what you invisioned when you had her.
Definitely overreacting
My daughter sleeps with her father and myself almost every night! There is absolutely nothing wrong with your child being more comfortable sleeping with a parent.
Why tf are you people having children with men that you dont even trust??? Like you dont even trust these men to take care of their children correctly? I just don’t get it. You are over reacting unless your daughter has said she is uncomfortable with it or has said there is inappropriate things happening you’re over reacting
She’s 7. She’s little. She will build her own comfort level and eventually when she feels too old, she will stop. I’m in my 30s, if I had my father, I’d probably still crawl into his bed too. This sounds like a shared custody situation and she isn’t with her dad full time. Let it be
Is better and healthy that she sleeps and her own bed God bless you all
Is it wrong that I sleep in the same bed as my son? Or is it different cause I’m the mum? Why sexualise everything?
You are making it a problem. Co sleeping is not sexual. Moms co sleep with their children all the time at various ages. So automatically if a daughter sleeps in the same bed as her dad it’s wrong? Please figure out why that makes you uncomfortable. Unless he is proven to be or your daughter has said something he does is wrong, please STOP sexualizing everything! Society does so much of that and it’s disgusting.
You know him better then anyone, so if there’s a question in your mind why this is inappropriate you have reason for concern.
The problem with people these days is they make everything sexual. Dad’s are just as important as mom’s, and kids are allowed to want to sleep with their dad.
Lol
If women are wondering about fathers I wonder what they think of kids sleeping with grandparents. Get over it. Stop making an ant hill out of nothing!
I used to crawl in bed with my grandpa when I was 17 he had lung cancer so I’d lay in their with him on his chair Or next to him to get that extra time with him. My son he’s 3 yrs old he sleeps next to me at night when. His dad ain’t home and naps in his own bed. But when his dad is home he sleeps in his own bed.its what’s she’s comfty with shell grow out of it don’t be so quick to think something bad that’s her dad my son sometimes naps his pawpaw
My assumptiln is that he probably doesn’t see het every day …possibly only in weekends…if he cares enough to actually want het with him and wants to spend as much time with het as possible…let him have his time with het…I’d asssume she has her own bed at his place … maybe she chooses to be next to het daddy when she’s with him…as long as he isn’t a perv n nothing out of the ordinary is happening …let him have his time with his baby. She will only be little for so long. And he’s missing enough of het life im sure as it is
maybe she just misses her father… smh
Over reacting. I would still sleep next to my daddy and I’m 51
My step daughter always falls asleep with her dad either in her bed or on the couch. He’s her dad who cares. She will be 8 in July
Definitely overreacting, I mean I sat on my daddy’s lap every time I saw him until he passed away a few years ago. I wouldn’t trade the bond I had with my dad for anything and I’d give anything to be able to sit on his knee or lay on his bed and watch a movie with him again. Let them enjoy and cherish the time they have.
I would crawl into bed with my dad when I was a teenager and wasn’t feeling well or was scared. He’s my dad. He’s my rock. There’s no shame in a child sleeping in bed with either of their parents if it’s what they want or need to feel safe, secure, and loved.
Is this for a custody batte?trying to get all the peoples opinions so u can pass on the your lawyer women can be so scornful
Ok. This IS a valid concern. Not everything is sexualized. But most males have an uncontrollable morning stiffy and God forbid the child male or female is sleeping to close. How awkward and wierd is that? At any age? Especially an age like this were the child could remember?
For everyone who doesn’t know, regardless of who they are sleeping next to men get erections in their sleep. It’s not ok for a 7 and a half year to become dependent or co dependent sleeping with any adult all the time. But boy girl whatever they shouldn’t be sleeping next to their father all night. I guess you could put a pillow between them but men get several erections a night on average if they’re healthy. This page has been removed - NHS just medical fact
I find it inappropriate
I wish my dad was around when I was little to sleep with. I still jump in my moms bed with her when I get the chance. Lol I’m 36
And I won’t mind my daughters father cuddling with her. That’s a bond that shouldn’t be broken.
I wouldn’t let mine.
