ur kids come before a man…who cares what he thinks. Do what u think is best
you do what seems right for you
Get rid of that boyfriend !!!
needs his own bed,should of been in his own bed at3yrs old,everyone needs there own space
Get rid of the jerk. Kids first.
Sounds like you’re all a bunch raising a bunch of snowflakes
His own bed for sure!!
Please get rid of this man
To each his own but I don’t believe children need to sleep in their parents beds. When they’re sick and not well that’s one thing to sleep close and coddle them but not on a regular basis.
You the parent and it sounds like your BF is an asshole and you need to move on. My kids 4,6 and 8 all sleep in there own bed since they were 3. However if they are sick or we are on vacation they still sleep with me if they want to. They are KIDS it’s not gross. Your BF needs to grow up!
Let your son sleep with you as long as he needs to. Get rid of the so called boyfriend. He sounds like a asshole and you shouldn’t have to put up with someone like that coming between you and your son

Lose the boyfriend. If he’s making fun of you and your son it’s obvious there’s more mental abuse to come!!!
Dump him! Making fun of your son and you, and he used the word disgusting! Dump him and don’t look back!
It’s not so disturbing when it was just you and him but now you have your son sleeping in a bed with a man and you. Not normal. Not healthy.

The way that fellow behaved was appalling. No disagreement should be handled in such a cruel way. Teasing your son?! Disgusting jerk.
The boyfriend sounds like a loser and is jealous of you and your son. He needs to go
He’s too big to sleep in bed with you…what about if you want to be intimate with your partner? Kids and adults need their own space to have privacy and down time. That being said, the bf shouldn’t belittle you or your son. Cut the cord.
Dump his ignorant ass!! Your kid always comes first
He sounds like a jerk, he needs to go,
He is jealous! Don’t worry about what that evil minded idiot thinks!
He sounds like an asshole 
Get rid of that loser
I don’t think it’s disturbing. Everyone is different my oldest and I both became septic after emergency c-section and he had health issues. He was in bed with me until he was almost a year. My youngest was in bed a couple months. You just have to see what works for you. If your son is in school he may be made fun, but your brother has no business being that person. Your child’s feelings are more important than the bfs (IMO). If you are wanting to transition him, maybe you can decorate his room cool and have a special bedtime routine. You could also get a baby monitor or camera to check on him and communicate back and forth.

My son is 18months old and used to fall asleep with me but he wont sleep anywhere other than his cot nw. Sometimes I wish he would just cuddle up and go to sleep with me but I guess he is happy in his own bed but i still have that bond with him regardless to whether we co sleep or not. I think u nw when it’s the right time… I get it can affect your love life having a child in with u every night but it’s your child and your decision x
I’ll be the odd ball out and say it’s time for your 6 year old son to sleep in his own bed.
Your boyfriend’s approach and way of communicating his concerns are all wrong.
But, it’s time. There isn’t a single thing wrong with letting your babies sleep with you, nap with you etc. but it shouldn’t be an every night type of thing. There are certain young adult transitions that need to be made. Bottles and pacifiers provide love and comfort but you for damn sure wouldn’t let your 6 year old walk around with one. Lol
100% judgement free, just offering my honest opinion.

Man fuck him. If sleeping with you makes your child feel safe then oh well. My daughter has anxiety and she slept with me until she was 5 and then we got her her own bed but still in our room. It sucks being small and afraid and not having that comfort . 
My husband had no problem with it. But she was getting to big and it was just super uncomfortable. So she movers to her own bed and gradually we are moving her to her own room . Out babies are only small for so long then we are gonna wish we held on to them longer.
Only reason I would be uncomfortable is space. I like my space. But my parents had my brother in their bed for so long! Once he started like first grade they turned it in to a weekend thing. Like, he could sleep with them on the weekend but in his bed all week. Then they dropped it down to just one night on the weekend. Then that faded as well. Worked well for them and him.

My son slept in my bed until he was 10. (He’s 13 now) We both went to sleep feeling loved and calm. I think it’s beautiful that they want to be so close to you. We only have them so little for such a short while before they grow up and enter the big wide world as an adult and by then they don’t want to be cuddled to sleep. Literally blink and they are all grown up. My daughter is 3 and I do the same with her now. I say milk it for all it’s worth Mumma!

my son is now 7 and he still sleeps with me and his father, together with his 4 siblings…
I just recently stopped sleeping with my daughters in my bed. But I mean I still sleep extremely close to them cuz I’m too nervous to not be near them. I think it’s perfectly normal. I slept with my grandmother til I was about 7? I think it’s fine. He’ll move to his own bed when he’s ready or when you’re ready.
It’s doesn’t last forever, bond while you can.
All my kids sleep with me at some point… my oldest is 10 and still sleeps in my bed with his two siblings. Not every night but it does happen. I can wake during the night and find my two boys crashed out on the end of bed lol… who cares what he thinks.
My son 8 and still comes to next to me to sleep . Not disturbing at all…
No my boys have always sleep in there rooms my husband and i in our room.

Okay I’m gonna be the odd ball out here. I have a 4 year old step son and it REALLY bothers me when he slept with us as he got older. I didn’t mind when he was little cause I agreed he just needed his parent and also was close with me. As he’s gotten older it makes me uncomfortable sleeping in a bed with a child that isn’t my own. Maybe your bf feels the same way and doesn’t know how to express it. I now have my own son and I do occasionally sleep with him but if he were wanting to sleep with me every night at the age of 6 I would draw the line. That’s just my personal opinion. My four year old step son still comes to our bed every night but at least we try to get him in his own bed. It still makes me uncomfortable however.

I think if it was an issue it should have been discussed prior to moving in together. It sounds to me like your son has gone through some big changes and adjustments and now may not be the time to address this issue.
It’s something else, he’s using that as an excuse

As adults do you like sleeping alone ? Then why do we expect our children too ? 
My kids slept with me on and off till ab out the age of five. It is a transitional period and will be diff for the both of you. I found it best to spend time with them before bedtime. Reading to them or just laying in their bed with them and watching t.v. The important thing here is to be consistent, if you say they are not to sleep in your bed anymore then by all means stick to that or you will make it even harder to break them of it. Good luck!
My son is 10 and still sneaks into bed with us every once in a while. I don’t see a problem with it. He is a great snuggler.

My daughter sleeps with me every night. But if my babe spends the night she sleeps on her own bed with no problem. But if he actually said something to me I’m very rebellious and petty lmao dont tell me what to do
Men can be relpaced. Your son cannot. Forget the guy. Cosleep with that baby and snuggle as long as he wants to. Plus Dude sounds like a POS if he left you for that. Stay strong mama.

I think that kids are little for just a little while then they grow and leave. Your BF needs to understand that one day your son, sooner than you think will be in his own bed but in between that time he is feeling loved and safe.

My son is 6 and he would sleep in his own bed and sometimes with me and his daddy up until a couple months ago when I had our second son. Now the baby is in our room so he stays in his own room now. I don’t think there is anything wrong with co-sleeping. However, it might be time to start having him sleep in his own bed a couple times a week so he can start getting used to it. Otherwise it’ll be harder to transition when he’s older.

Focus on what is best for you and your son!!! If your bf doesn’t like it, too bad!! I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old and they BOTH sleep with me. When they’re ready to sleep in their own then they will but I will not rush or force anything. They are only little for so long. Soak up all the love you can get before they start hating you!

I was a single mom and my daughter slept with me from birth until she was almost 8. It was her choice to stop, when I married her stepdad. I agree, they’re only little for a little while. Now she’s 21 and has her own place.
My oldest will be 9 in a few days and he still sleeps with my husband and I on occasion. Almost every night one of our 3 boys is in bed with us, usually the 3 year old. With that being said, if he’s tried to talk to you about this before and you just blew him off I might be upset too. 8 months is still a pretty new relationship. You’re still trying to figure each other out, you need privacy and if your little guy is always in bed with you, boyfriend might be getting frustrated.
My brother is 7 and still sleeps with my parents. My daughter is only 15 months and still sleeps with me.

I have never co slept with either of my boys. Not my thing. But I understand step parents or whatever they are, not being comfortable in a bed with a child that isn’t theirs. If I was him I would be weirded out too, honestly.
He new you has a son don’t let him tell you what to do mem come and go your son will always be with you love your son and take care of him God bless you and your son
My boys only slept in bed with me & my husband, if they were sick. Other than that they slept in their own room. And I have a very strong bond with my sons.
Mine are 8&7 and still come in bed in the middle of the night. Enjoy it before you know it he will be grown. Leave that jealous guy.
Imo…the bf is the problem, not your son. They will only cuddle in your bed for so long and then they grow up, enjoy it while you can.My son is 4 sleeps with us and we are fine with it. We let him fall asleep and will move him to his room when we want to have our alone time and then put him back or either wake up early to him coming back in our room lol Don’t let anyone make you feel like you are doing wrong…time flies enjoy the cuddles

My daughter never slept with me. I personally think it’s ok until school age though. After that I agree with him it’s weird. But again it’s your boy, you do what you want.
I have a 9 year old who still sleeps with me when he gets scared or is upset.
This is my philosophy. They are only kids once. He will one day sleep in his own bed. One day you will look up and he will be a teenager and doing his own thing. Let him sleep with you and get rid of the boyfriend. My son is 11 and sleeps with me and my husband. I will allow him to sleep with us as long as he wants to. He will get older and eventually sleep in his own bed.

My daughter has been sleeping in her own room ever since she was a week old. I tried keeping her in my bedroom but I’m such a light sleeper and paranoid mama that I woke up every time she even took a deep breath. Once she upgraded to her big girl bed then she insists on having someone lay with her until she falls asleep. She is 6 and we are working on breaking this. The way I look at it, she’s at the age of going to sleepovers and stuff soon. Her dad and I won’t be there to help her go to sleep then. But to each their own.

I honestly think that it’s time for your son to sleep in his own bed. It probably would have been better to have done the transition before bringing an additional person into your bed. If you had a daughter do you think it would be ok for this 8 month person to sleep in the same bed as she. Everyone to their own but my opinion is that it’s time.
Neither one of my kids slept with me unless they were sick and that’s the only times they slept with me in my bed. And no it’s not disturbing… hes only 6 years old…
My son is 10 and I still let him sleep with me when he wants to . And my 2 yr old sleeps with me every night. 
All cases certainly each have there own circumstances. I believe that you should be able to sleep in same bed as your child whenever you wish no matter the age. Honestly this situation should probably been discussed before you bf moved in to be honest, if it had been problem for him and especially if he thought it was disturbing or made fun of my six year old I believe I may have took a step back and looked into his character lil further. Anyone that made fun of my kid or hurt them wouldn’t be someone I’d want to be close to
He’s just a boyfriend sweetie, they will come and go but you child will be there FOREVER!! Do what you feel is right and tell everyone else to kiss it I prefer to sleep alone, but every once in a while I feel little cold toes and it’s the best!! Don’t let anyone break that bond!!
My son slept with me until he was 12. It has always just been the 2 of us
Every family is different, mine believes that children need to learn to sleep by themselves.
I ended up going back to sleeping with my mom when I was 4 & stayed sleeping in the same bed as her until I was 9/10. Nothing is wrong with it. If you and your son wants to cosleep, do so. I currently co sleep and I sleep so much better with my son than I do without him. Do what makes you happy mama
Danielle Pursey I grew up with my Aunt’s Family. I can still remember how their 4 children (ages 5yo - 18yo) sleep together in the same bed with their parents. I really find it warm, calm and loved to sleep beside our parents. (wish i had one when i was a kid)
It’s not disturbing in the least, my son sleeps with me, and he will go to his own bed when he’s ready. My daughters all slept with me too until they were ready to be in their own beds. And now that they’re older sometimes they will come to my room and cuddle me for a bit…
It’s not disturbing. But your son needs to learn that he needs to have his own space and sleep in his own bed. It’s healthy for children to have their own space, not only healthy for the child but it’s healthy for the parent to have their own space as well.

My little son used to crawl into bed with my husband and I nightly and he did that till he was like 11. There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing especially if your child has separation issues
Their only young once. Cherish every moment while u can. Forget the guy. Let him sleep with u as long as he wants
My 5 year old daughter and I mutually need each other for sleeping soundly…I sleep in her bed, when I sleep in my bf bed I end up leaving through the night back to my baby’s room 🤷
There is nothing wrong with doing what both you and your son are comfortable with in this situation. Don’t let anyone make you feel like there is. My eight year old sleeps with me. It won’t be long until he wants his own space and privacy. Cherish this time while you can.
If someone who is supposed to be your partner is speaking to you in that manner in regard to your child, then they are not the right person to be filling a parent role in their life. He should never degrade your son, especially to his face, or degrade you in front of your son.
You are deserving of being treated better than that. Even if he is uncomfortable with the arrangement, there are kind ways of approaching the subject.
Move on. Find the kindness you and your son deserve. Or you may find your son speaking to you in the same manner in a few years.
My son is 8, daughter 5.5 and baby girl almost a year…we still sleep together esp since my husband, their father, was killed at work last october. We all feel safer to be close together.
