To say it’s disturbing is disturbing on his part. He wants the bed to you and himself that’s understandable… Going about it wrong. I agree probably time to sleep in his own bed. My 6 year old come in the bed when he wakes up to go pee sometimes like 5 or so I let him stay.
It’s a little weird but who cares lol

Sorry but sounds like u need a new boyfriend. Your babies always come before any man. When we started dating n I had three elementary school age kids, my boyfriend slept n the livingroom. If my kids slept w me, they slept w me. My kids feeling safe was always a priority.

First off the dude is trash toss him out… Never allow a man to down you or make fun of you for any reason!!! And 2 no way in hell would i let my child sleep in the same bed as my partner with or without me that ive only been with 8 months especially not judging just my opinion and 6 is a good time to start weening them to their own room now if he gets scared or has a bad dream or something then sure comfort your baby but honestly if you want a relationship and your partner to live with you its time for your own bed so you have privacy and all that good stuff…

He should be in his own bed at 6 years old so I understand that part but it sounds like he is jealous of your child and trying to make you feel bad to get his way and that’s not ok.

My kid’s been sleeping in her own bed since birth, only in my bed when she had nightmares. I find it creepy and gross that you shared your bed with your kid AND your new man 
I personally would make the kid sleep in his own bed. Are you still gonna co-sleep when he’s a teenager?

It’s not disgusting but I think it does need to stop, and you pretty much screwed yourself because he is much older now and probably will give you hard time, and if you can’t get him to sleep in his own bed then I’d probably stop dating because it isn’t fair to your boyfriend

If he’s mad about that, think of the things he won’t be okay with if you ever married him. While I think he should be in his own bed 100%, it’s not my kid or my decision.

Cosleeping isn’t the true issue here. Parents Cosleep at different times, some never do and that’s fine. I personally do not, but that’s my parenting choice (and for babies, it’s completely unsafe, according to science, which is what I choose to follow for my family) and I wouldn’t never judge someone else’s choice for their children, BUT the fact that it sounds like you allowed a man you’ve barely met (a year is nothing when it comes to people around my kids, personal opinion) sleep in the same bed as your son… No. I would never put my kid in that situation. I don’t trust FAMILY in the bed with my kids, much less someone I barely know. I would consider moving him to his own bed if you plan on having another person sleeping in the same bed as you, for that reason alone.
Now, another thing I agree with others about is, don’t let someone you barely know make you question your choices as a mother. The only people that should be involved in the decisions revolving your kid is you and the other parent. Boyfriend of 8 months has no say in anything you and his father choose with your kids.

Just drop him. Your son comes first. You have every right to be attached to your baby. I almost lost my son too and we still sleep together and he’s 4 and you know what I don’t care what anyone has to say about it. One day he won’t need my cuddle snugs (that’s what we call cuddle time) he will be all grown up before you know it so I’m going to soak it up while I can. So forget whoever makes you question when is the “right time” just wait till both of you are ready.

If the chold is only in your bed and doesn’t sleep wver on their own then yes thay os a bit much. My twins co slept… never they had a crib and they used it.
If you were single I’d say tell him to F off. But you just moved a man in who is not the father of your child so your child needs to be sleeping in his own bed. If you wanted to continue cosleeping with your son you shouldn’t of moved the bf in. Put your son in his own bed or stay single.

My oldest was 7 before he slept in his own bed every night and that was because by bf (now husband) refused to move in if he was still in my bed. Not that there’s anything wrong with a 6 yo sleeping in his parent’s bed, it might be odd for your bf to want to be in that same bed. Even if my bf would have been okay with it, I would not. Think about the things you do in your bed with bf and then think how bf must feel, having your 6 yo sleeping in that bed too, I’m assuming while he’s in there? A co-sleeping situation is very different for bio parents and children, than it would be for someone that is not the bio parent, mixed with the fact your son is not a baby, but a 6 yo child. I totally agree with bf on this, other than picking on you guys. It may be best for him to live separate, or sleep in a separate room, until your son is out of your bed.

It’s not disgusting or disturbing I just can’t Colleen w my kids I move slot and like to be spread out … I can’t sleep right w them in bed w me… but y’all had something traumatic happen… but eventually I’m sure your son will want his own bed…
All of our children sleep in there own beds (9 6 18m &4m) we do bedtime snuggles and if they are sick or have a bad dream they know they can come to our room and climb in bed with us… as long as y’all are clothed it shouldn’t matter. You put him in his own bed when he and you feel it’s time and anyone who can’t respect that doesn’t need to be part of your life
I don’t co sleep, I don’t think it’s safe and it just sets up bad habits to break later. I let her sleep next to me if I watch TV or while I read it craft but never while I sleep, when I want to go to bed I transfer her into her crib in her nursery and she sleeps there until morning. I agree it’s not fair on a new partner to expect them to share a bed with your child and vice versa not fair to the child to share a bed with some new person.

I wouldn’t call it disturbing but definitely unnecessary and unhealthy. Theres no reason to cosleep, let alone till the child is 6. You aren’t doing either of u any good by allowing this to continue. Get him his own bed if he doesn’t already have one so he can learn some independence. Now I do have a bigger issue that u let a strange man move in with u and your son after knowing him only 8 months.

Every situation is different and if it was just you and your son I completely see you wanting him close. But with moving in a bf I would think it’s time for your son to have a bed of his own. Our daughter slept with my wife or myself a lot because we worked opposite shifts and we had to sleep when she slept. Often times we would exchange the baby for car keys at the door as one was coming home one would be going. You have to do what is best for you and your son and any man who wants to be part of your life has to be supportive in helping you and your son.JMHO seeing it from a mans point of view. I never had any problem with our daughter or grandsons sleeping with us. Do what you feel is right.

Was the boyfriend unaware that your son and you shared the same bed? I’m guessing he wasn’t and that he assumed the kid would sleep in his own bed once he moved in, but he should have talked to you about that first. Kick the boyfriend out. It’s your choice but I see where the bf is coming from. He has to share a bed with you and a kid that isn’t his…I would never put a bf in that situation.

We never co-slept with our son and we aren’t going to with our daughter. I would start getting him to sleep in his own bed even if its in your room. But that guy sounds like a tool

Some of y’all need to mind ya own business who cares that moved in that isn’t the point. Y’all just love to bitch and act better than the next one. News flash each of you have your own Skelton’s. So shut it. Moving in after 5/6 months is not a big deal if you think it is. You obviously grew up in the primitive days. 
There is absolutely nothing disgusting about co sleeping. We personally don’t do it. We snuggle for a while at night and then the kids go to their own rooms. Nobody gets sleep when our kids end up in our bed. If they are sick then they sleep with us or I go sleep with them in their room. I also don’t like co sleeping because I think that hour or 2 so snuggle with my husband and talk to him before we both roll over and go to sleep is important for our marriage. We also like to have sex whenever we want(we aren’t rabbits or anything) and you can’t when your kid is in your bed. Maybe he just wants more you and him time and just can’t seem to express it to you without sounding like a jerk. Either that or he is a jerk.

IMO 6 years old is too old to be co-sleeping. BUT, he’s your son, so that’s between the 2 of you.
As for your boyfriend, I wouldn’t want him in the bed with my child anyhow. BUT, you should ditch your boyfriend since he seems like an ass who is okay with making fun of you.
Our oldest slept in our bed until around that age. What matters is what works for your son and you. The boyfriends opinion is irrelevant. Sounds more like jealously issues on his end more then anything.

Ever think maybe he’s uncomfortable with a child that isn’t his sleeping in the same bed as him?! My opinion 6 is to old to be sleeping in ur mother’s bed. But I also don’t really believe in co sleeping to begin with. In the same room sure never in the same bed. But that’s just me.

Since when does a random dude even have an opinion? He is only worried about co-sleeping as it pertains to him. We were raised in a very old house in the days before smoke alarms. We slept within arm’s reach of each other so that mother could find us in an emergency until we were almost teens. Our lives outweighed any nosy opinions.

My daughter sleeps with me and my boyfriend. We got together when she was 5 months old. And she had days when she would sleep in her crib and days when she would sleep with us. She is now 6 and still sleeps with us. I wouldnt some guy say its disgusting to sleep with my child. No matter how old they are. And making fun of you and your kid? Maybe its time to stay single.
I think the only thing disgusting is your boyfriends attitude. There’s nothing disgusting about sharing your bed with your kids unless you’re a pedophile. But, I wouldn’t have moved him into my home if I was going to keep sharing my bed with my child. And your boyfriend sounds like a bully.
We co sleep and I regret nothing. There will be a day it just happens, until then don’t let anyone get you down. It’s completely normal all around the world.
Sounds like he’s jealous and you need a new boyfriend.

I slept on and off in the bed with my dad till I got together with my now husband at the age of 18. He was my only parent. My kids all sleep with me and their dad. Especially since I work nightshift and am not always there at night. My kids will sleep in their own beds but i leave that up to them. Sometimes they start out in their own beds and I wake up and there they are. Sometimes they never make it in there and i wish they would show up.

We’ve never done the whole co-sleeping thing, and if we do no one ever sleeps. But I do feel like by 6 years old he should be in his own room, in his own bed. I would never feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with someone else’s kid, that seems very weird to me. I wouldn’t tolerate the bullying you are getting from him though. He should’ve told you his feelings on it and had a talk about it, but never talked down to you like that. Get rid of him and work on kicking the habit of your son sleeping with you.
Your kid your rules.

I think children at any age should sleep in their own bed by themselves. I have 2 children and I never let them sleep in my bed.
My kids have all slept with me… it’s not disgusting but he would have that feeling if he’s sleeping in the same bed with your son… now that is wrong! I am on my own with kids but I would never have a man in the same bed as a couple. Yoir child is 6 and old enough to be in his own room, I don’t know any man that would think its ok
In my opinion, you should do what is comfortable to you and YOUR CHILD. My almost 5 year old has slept with me since she was 6 months old, and I won’t make her get out of my bed until she’s ready. My husband (not her father) respects and understands that. If your boyfriend doesn’t understand the bond you have with your child, he needs to hit the road.

When me and my now fiance started dating, he had both his daughters on the weekends and they both slept in our bed…it got cramped lol. They were 4 at the time. So we got them a bed to share next to ours. When they got up in the middle of the night I soothed them and put then back in their bed. Maybe he wants more time at night just the two of you or maybe it is uncomfortable sleeping with a child in bed…idk…but how you parent and sleep is up to you. Now they are 8 and sleeping in the room they share in their own beds. They seem happier and we get better sleep lol. Maybe y’all can find a compromise

Although I think at this time it would be healthy for you and your son to sleep separately now just so he doesn’t gain separation anxiety problems also so you can have a bit of personal space and time, it’s in no way disgusting. Or wrong at all! Let him leave!!! Obviously he has the problems if he looks at your son sleeping with you any type of disgusting. He is a weirdo! My daughter slept with me and her dad until she was 6. We tried for a long time to get her out of our bed it took along time! But now she is 8 and sleeps in her bed every night and all night for the passed two years. My youngest is 4. She didn’t sleep with us a day in her life! Lol she never was comfortable sleeping with us. She would squirm and wiggle and not get any sleep. The second I put her in her basinette she would lay flat on her back lay her arms flat out and fall asleep. And still to this day sleeps like that. All kids are different. I would say for your self and your son. Try getting to sleep in his own bed. But not for that jerk! You are doing nothing wrong!
