These days will be gone so fast enjoy them while you can.
When i was a single mom with 3 boys they all slept with me. Nothing disturbing about it. But at some point you should try and make the transition. It will be good for the both of you.
I breastfed on demand with all three of my children so they all slept with me to breastfeed through the night. My oldest is autistic and was terrified to sleep alone and didn’t sleep in his own bed until he was 10! My husband always “babied” him and fully supported him sleeping with us because he couldn’t stand the thought of him being alone and scared. I had a complicated pregnancy with him and we both had multiple scares and health issues. You do what feels best and right for you and your son. It isn’t disgusting, it’s natural! The bond between parents and children is strong and children tend to stay where they feel comfortable and safe.
It is terrible that your boyfriend is making fun of you and your child, he needs to be your ex-boyfriend asap. But I think there is a time when boundries need to be set with cosleeping. We coslept with our kids but cut it out by 4.

My 9 yr old daughter still sleeps with me whenever she wants. She doesn’t when my boyfriend stays the night but she still cuddles in the middle of the bed at night while we watch tv together as a unit. Everyone is different. It’s what makes you and your son the happiest. You only get these years once so enjoy it with your son and drop the douche bag.
First of all, tell that loser to f off. He should be understanding of a child and mother relationship and bonding. The better way would have been for him to approach you and ask to talk about things, where he could have said 'listen, I don’t feel comfortable with your son in the bed with us. Can we try to transition him out." Or whatever the positive and helpful convo could have been. I do think that at that age though, you should be moving towards having him sleep in his own bed. Especially for your own personal adult relationship and for your child to start feeling secure without having to be attached at the hip. I totally understand the co sleeping thing, but this seems like a good age and time to make them sleep in their own bed. If he’s just being an immature asshole, then so be it. Kick him to the curb. If he was venting out of frustration, I’d seriously address this now and set boundaries for the whole family unit.
Your BF is secondary. Your son comes first, nothing dirty about it. Enjoy his youth while you can. Your boyfriend sounds like he needs to go.

I’m pretty sure in my state if children services found out your child was sleeping in the same bed with your boyfriend, their would be issues. Co-sleeping is your prerogative, but not involving a man you’ve known less than a year, in the same bed as your 6 year old.

My son is 7 and still sleeps with me. Probably will for a couple more years too. I would be more concerned with the boyfriend sleeping in the same bed as your son than your son sleeping in bed with you. Sounds like the bf was jealous of your son. So bye bye bf

It’s certainly not disgusting and your partner should be ashamed of himself for making fun of him and you. He is still a little boy and an occasional night with mummy if he is poorly or scared etc is fine but I would start to get him used to having his own bed now as he will certainly need to be sleeping in his own bed by puberty really. Don’t feel bad, you have given him love and security which is wonderful.

Your son can sleep in your bed if that is what you choose. A boyfriend can have whatever opinion he has. What can’t happen is cruelty which is what seems to be described here. I do think your son needs to have his own room/stuff/space and be able to sleep/play there. If he can’t, then that, to me, needs worked on going forward for building self-reliance and security. My daughter is going on 11. I miss having her in my bed but I missed her dad there too (not room for everyone lol). The deciding factor for me was that she needed to be able to feel secure sleeping away from me, which she could not do. She’s been fully in her room since August. No lights. Door can even be shut (her choosing). Dad’s going out of town in two days and she’s counting down the minutes lol Do what is right for you and your son.
I let all 3 of my children climb into bed whenever they feel the need to. We start them in their own beds and if they end up in mine in the middle of the night so be it. Lastnight, I had myself, husband, kids (8,6 and 5) and our spaniel in a king sized bed. It’s not "disgusting " or "weird ", your son is little and still needs his mama. It’s comforting to your child(ren). It’s even comforting (not necessarily comfortable with so many on my end)as a mom to have them all co-sleeping by me. There is no shame in your story. You need your son and he needs you.

Ehhhh. Probably an unpopular opinion but your son definitely needs to be sleeping in his own bed…and your boyfriend has every right to be uncomfortable with the current sleeping arrangements…some could argue that your forcing your boyfriend and your son to sleep in the same bed together is weird. Just as many are saying that your boyfriend “forcing you” to stop co sleeping is mean. In all honesty your boyfriend probably just wants a healthy sex life with you…his girlfriend. Funny thing is that if he just never said anything and never mentioned how uncomfortable it actually made him to 1. Be sleeping next to a little boy that isnt his and 2. To have no sex life with his girlfriend but instead he just found a chick to have a sex life with, I bet you would be screaming about him being in somebody else bed with no kid lol

If u don’t break habit of him sleeping with u it will be hard for him. He needs his own bed. Your boyfriend probably feels weird sleeping in the same bed. Wonder if u told your boyfriend when u met you have your son sleep with u. If u didn’t u probably should have.
My oldest was in his one bed at 1 my second born never slept in my bed my third was in his bed by 1 and he was off and on in mine until then… I don’t think it’s strange bc mine still crawl in my bed when they are sick or have nightmares… As for your boyfriend he’s probably uncomfortable with sharing a bed with a child that’s not biologically his bc of how people like to talk and start stuff especially if the child’s father is in the situation at all… regardless if it’s true or not things can get twisted and lies started and ruin his life forever… And secondly for the boyfriend he should not EVER pick on you or your child for a situation instead he should discuss it and help resolve the issue and explain his concern about it

My kids all sleep with me and my husband (their dad) we have a 10yr old 2 yr old and a 2 month old…my 10yr old slept with us till he was 8 when his brother came along now it’s just the toddler n infant in our bed but the 10 yr old will sleep in our bed any chance he gets and my husband is so supportive with me having all the kids In bed with me. Not going to lie my husband slept on the couch for almost 8 yrs now he’s back in our bed but if I tell him all the boys wanna sleep with mom he says okay hunny and sleeps on the couch. You need to get rid of that man your son will always be your son your man can go anytime he wants. Your son still get his comfort from mom so let him sleep with u.
He sounds like a jealous control freak. Kick him out and continue co sleeping with your boy.

You need to get single, he’s an ass. He’ll always resent your son, I have 2 kids in my bed ages 6.5 and 5 and they slept between their father and I until we split and I maybe would move them into a bed together if I ever found a man I wanted to move in but he’s bullying y’all so he’s gotta go.
My twins are 9 and still sleep with me. First off that is where they feel the safest. Also, they are my final kids so i will not rush it. That is your child if he can’t respect it then tell him kick rocks.
Go find another man is my advice

It sounds like he wants some alone time with you. Nothing wrong with that. We have 5 kids so sex life or private time is almost non existent. I can see where he’s coming from but my kids have only ever slept with us when sick. They prefer their own beds actually. I think it’s time fir the boy to go to his own big boy bed. We have a California King and I love my space. U will push him away if you don’t. It’s not like you are choosing him over your kid. He’s a big boy he can sleep in his bed it’s part of growing up.

Another thing. a grown man moved in with you and your son… into your world. into your son’s world. Who cares what he thinks. it’s about your son’s comfort. Not his. He is a grown man. He needs to fall back.
AND.
another thing… not one human is going to come into MY house and shame me and my son… your son is learning this… to be shamed.
AND.
Watch the verbiage that people use… “disgusting” is not a word to be used in this context and Seems to me that he is using it to exert some control on you.
Get that fool out of your bed and your house and away from your boy before he does some damage that your son spends his life recovering from.
I usually NEVER add my opinion on here but I have years of experience with the example you just gave and it rubbed me wrong.

I would say bye bye to the boyfriend. Its not disgusting to sleep with your son.

My daughter didn’t sleep with me much as a baby, but her crib was in the same room
When when she was 2 she did stay in the bed with us for about a year because we moved into temporary company housing when my husband’s job relocated him and then when we moved into our own place she wanted to only sleep with us. We slowly made her move to her own room with her own bed, but she knew if wasn’t feeling well or was afraid at night then she could come lay down with us. By the time she was 4 she was completely in her own bed.
My 7 year old still ends up in bed with us every night
I’d see it as fine. I remember as a kid I needed to sleep with my parents for a more comforting sleep . Unless you are both naked it’s fine
Boyfriend moving in with is not a issue with me.thats your business…however, he didn’t know your sleeping situation before he moved in?
And my daughter slept with me off and on till she was like 11. He if has issues with it then i would tell him to move back out or shut the f… up. If he says anything after that i would pack his stuff for him and put in the front step. Because it wont stop…

Why are some women always trying to see past the red flags of some new boyfriend who has been in their life for such a short period of time? If some dude was making fun of my son he’s gone. If you feel bad about that imagine what your son feels like? Is some random dude you moved in too quickly with more important than your son? Ladies get your priorities straight! Our children did not ask to be brought into this world. If it didn’t work out with their other parent quit trying to force new people into their life so suddenly. You only have so long to get them off into this world as best we can with as little emotional baggage as possible. Spare them your dating drama. Get to know and date people outside of your house until you know they are worth introducing your kids to.

When it’s time to go to bed they know they are sleeping on their own.
