Mine 3 and 5 still crawl into bed with us sometimes they are just kids.
Sounds like you’re better alone than with a boyfriend. He’s a boyfriend not a parent to your child to dictate what for you to do. If you give him authority he will most likely abuse it. And other things your child does will become “disturbing” and “disgusting”. Better alone Momma, you’re your child’s voice. If you allow it, it will continue.

It’s up to you you’re the momma. Boyfriend.moved in with you? He can fuck off with his disturbing ads comments.
Maybe something to work on but definitely not disturbing. May be looking into it too much but from the sounds you only had eachother so yeah being attached is a no brainer. I get it and if he ain’t willing to work on it with you don’t be sad about him going
Yes he deffo should be in his own bed now that your boyfriend has moved in.
Maybe let your boy come and have cuddles in your bed at weekends or school holidays
As a single parent I did this for 5+ years. My daughter turned out fine and in my opinion is extremely emotionally intelligent. Once I started dating my now husband, we just made the transition gradual to her own room.
Wish moms would be less judgmental on things like this…

It’s natural for your son to want to sleep with you, as long as he does have his own bed and room. The boyfriend is the one being disturbing and is probably jealous of your son’s bond with you. He needs to understand that you’re a mother and your children will always come first.

Im 22 & if it storms and im scared I swear thats where you’ll find me in my mommas bed with my sisters!! At my house I get my god kids on the weekend and the 10 yo he crawls in bed with my husband & 6m old and I. He feel safe when hes with us . and I do to honestly i rather us be in one room.
My children both slept with me until about 3 to 4 years old I can tell you that they need their space you need your space and if you want to have any type of relationship with a man a bed is husband and wife’s or whatever the case is there’s the occasional nights when my children still crawl into bed with me because of a bad dream but not every night
Nope your boyfriend is the disturbing one.

Mom of 5 over here and each of my kids slept with me. I have a 14 year old son and we share hotel beds when we travel with another hockey family
I have a 13 year old who sometimes just wants a hug and a 9 year old who also still climbs between my husband and I.
I am mom and I will always be available for them.

He found himself sleeping on the couch lol

If I was just your bf who you moved in after 6 months of dating I would expect to like… get laid. I’m sure he’s not getting that at night at least if your son sleeps with you. Maybe that’s why he used that word. I don’t know the situation just trying to see all points of view

Don’t get me wrong it’s a hard process to break we started by moving a foam mattress into our room and sleeping on the floor and then slowly move them into the living room area and then got their own room own bed and I would sleep with them in bed for a few days and that I would sleep on the floor and slowly move my way out make it a positive thing to sleep in their own bed Rewards. Mommy’s Daddy’s girlfriend boyfriend like need to have a adult private time
Both my kids started sleeping in my bed from 8 months only because I have chronic back pain and I physically couldn’t put them in n out their cots! They slept wiv me until they were 4,5years old! It was me with the separation issues not them! Now they both happily sleep in their own rooms! They 6 & 7 now 
I’m assuming you boyfriend sleeps in the same bed as you right?
So it is definitely time for your son to be in his own bed
I wouldn’t want to share a bed with my gf and her son
At some point you need to start helping your son be more independent

The problem is your boyfriend. My son is 6 he can sleep in my bed whenever he wants to. If my boyfriend has a issue with my son sleeping with me he can leave. Nobody is above my child. My son has his own room he just ends up in mine. My son also has asthma so even if he dont sleep in my bed I wake up to check on him at least twice a night.

My kid went from crib to queen size bed when she was 1 1/2. I would lay with her until she fell asleep. This continued until she was 8. She never joined me in my bed. Buy him a bigger bed so you can start out in there with him then move to your own.

If your boyfriend is not his biological father I’m sure it makes him uncomfortable. I don’t think it’s disturbing or gross. However I do feel that at some point a child needs to gain the Independence of sleeping in their own bed. I co slept with my 4 children my youngest being 4. Once my boyfriend and I moved in together this past summer I stopped Co sleeping with her. But we adjusted fine and still nap together on occasion!

Sounds like your boyfriend is jealous of you and your child’s relationship! Every child is different. It’s a comfort thing and there’s nothing wrong with that. He’ll sleep in his own bed when he’s ready! Since you’re not married and this dude is your boyfriend living in YOUR HOUSE you might wanna get rid of him. If he says that about you and your child there’s no telling what his jealous ass would do to your son. This is absolutely terrible…
Your child comes first and I hope you don’t just brush this under the rug…
It’s not disgusting, but eventually your boyfriend is going to want to sleep in the same bed as you? So like maybe your kid shouldn’t be in there? I mean it’s all personal preference really, I co-sleep with my son, he’ll be 3 next year, but I plan on making the transition to him in his own bed. Maybe try it a few nights a week where he’s in his own bed & then pick a certain day or two for him to bunk with you. I mean eventually he’ll want to sleep on his own so you could just wait till then.

I think its unwise to allow a man whos not your childs father to co sleep with you all. 8 months isnt long enough to trust some dude/ female like that imho. Co sleeping with non biological parent can cause a stink in court if bio parent has issue with them sleeping witg a stranger. Let the guy go. As far as co sleeping if youre comfortable and your kiddo is then thats your business

My son sleeps right in the middle of our bed. We got a king sized bed just for this purpose lol He has his own bed and he used to sleep in it but I actually like having him in bed with us. To me your boyfriend is the disgusting one for thinking that their is something wrong with it and obviously sexualizing something that should be sexualised

Boyfriend should present it differently but both of mine switched to their own bed at about 4. It did take some urging from my boyfriend but it was time. Whether it’s time for your son to sleep in his own bed is between you and your boyfriend. Since he’s a part of y’alls lives its definitely needs to be something he has a say in as well.

Children need boundaries. If he has problems separating make him a bed on the floor for a week or so until he’s more comfortable in his own space. Also make a big deal of his room so he WANTS to be there. I found co-sleeping with my child when he was 6 7 and even 8. It was hard to keep him at a steady bedtime as he always wanted to wait for me. Also! It’s hell on a healthy sex life. Your boyfriend shouldn’t put you down for it but unless he has his own bedroom he deserves to have his own space as well.

The only thing i find wrong is allowing a man you’ve only known for 6 months move in with you as a step dad and start sleeping with you and your child. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you and your son sleeping together, but I myself might think it’s a little uncomfortable to sleep with a new partner and a child I’ve only known for a short time.

My son is five and still wants to sleep with me from time to time. When his father and I split up (we co-parent amazingly, we just didn’t work) he and I had to share a foam mattress on the floor until I was able to get a bed for him. Even after that we still shared a room and he would crawl into bed with me when he wanted to. Now he has his own room and bed but still wants to sleep with me occasionally. I would say get him a bed to put in your room to help transition him into sleeping on his own. He is getting to the age where he needs his own space. Every parent/child relationship is different and you have to do what is best for the both of you. You’re better off without the guy.

It is inappropriate to have your child in bed with you and your partner. Your bf should probably find a kinder way to discuss his problem with it but hes also got a point. Now that you have a man in your bed (who is not the father of your child) you should be having your kid in their own bed. No matter what age they are. Co sleep for the rest of you life if you want for all I care, but dont bring your kids into bed with other adults, its not right.

My daughter is only 4 weeks but I refuse to co sleep. There are too many risks and she needs to be able to live independently from me. I don’t want her to end up NEEDING me to fall asleep. As soon as she’s 3 months, she’s going to stay sleeping in her own room. She’s in a bassinet next to my bed while we’re going through our cluster feeding stage. And I’d like to have sex with my husband without worrying about a kid in the bed.

I don’t judge no one.Your child , your decision.But for my family,I never allowed our son to sleep in our bed.That was our bedroom and he had his.If he was sick or had nightmares we would comfort him or sleep on the couch and I have made a pallet in the floor of his room when needed.He was a very independent boy anyway.He loved his space in his own bed.

Our boys are 4,5, and 6 and they all sleep with us. They have a bed in our room and they fall asleep in their bed but eventually they all.wind up in the bed with us. Me and my hubby just get up and go to our couch that makes a bed and sleep on that. Maybe that could be an option is u have a couch or maybe get an air matress and lay it on the floor for u and ur bf or for ur son to lay on in ur room.
Your son should be in his own bed , no way would I ever allow my child in bed with me an a boyfriend. All it takes is for your son to go to his father an say he sleeps with you an your boyfriend. It could turn into other allegations an that isn’t good!

Honestly… When my mom dad got divorced it was just me and my mom, we slept in the same bed many times together and before the divorce when my dad would go on hunting trips to Canada me and my brother would sleep in my mom’s bed with her. She’d read us Harry Potter books until we fell asleep. When my brother was home schooled in 4th grade, they would take naps together during lunch because short naps during the day increase the brains ability to take in more information throughout the day. There’s nothing wrong with having a close bond with your children

My kids aren’t allowed to sleep with us. Unless they are sick or absolutely have to
All I’m going to say is this. I had a neighbor who allowed her daughter to co-sleep until she was ready too right? She had a sleep over on her 16th birthday and when the time to go to bed cane SHE WENT TO HER MOTHERS ROOM TO SLEEP. Apparently she slept with her mom every night until she left for college. I swear I’m not lying.
Your son should have been sleeping in his own room along time ago 
So glad that’s something I don’t have to go threw and your going to have a much harder time getting him out of your bed the longer you wait. Also yes your child comes first but you will never keep a boyfriend as long as he sleeps in your bed tbh.

Your boyfriend has a crap attitude and you don’t need that in your life.
I don’t find it weird you co sleeping with your 6yo. But I think it’s really weird a guy you’ve been with just a few months is living with you and you also want him to co-sleep?
If you want to keep sleeping in bed with your child then I wouldn’t involve the boyfriend, or just leave him in general. Making fun of a six year old instead of handeling him issues with it by talking to you is so immature.

You got to know when you start giving your son independence and hes capable of being alone to sleep. Sounds like you are trying to turn a new chapter in your life and that comes with your son having his own room and bed, boyfriend may love you two but may find it weird when he is trying to have alone intimate time with you and your son is there every night. Way to set the mood… Start transitioning your son is the only way you will be able to have a happy healthy relationship with someone even if he isnt the one. Dependance on eachother gets you into situations like norman bates🤣

In my opinion it’s odd. But you do you.
I understand your situation and having a close bond, that being said, yes it’s a little disturbing to have your son in bed with you AND your significant other. By yourself, no problem. But never with a spouse. I believe the bedroom, at night, is for adult time. My kids never ever co-slept with me. They have ALWAYS been in their own beds. In my room till out of crib, then in big kid beds in their own rooms as soon as out of crib. When’s your sex life happening, if they are sleeping with you all the time?

Personally, I would never let a “BF” be in the same bed with my son, even if you are also in the bed. At 6 years old, you need to begin the transition. It is time for him to start having a little independence. I know it’s hard Momma, but putting him in his own bed will help him more in the end.

It’s not disgusting or disturbing. That’s your baby you made, i get that.My son never had a crib. I co slept till he was 2 and i got him his big boy bed and put it right next to my bed. Now that he’s getting bigger i would suggest getting him his own bed/sleeping area. Start slow if you need too. right next to your bed, then further. My kids still sleep with me occasionally. They have their own beds, rooms. Your bf sounds like a ass. He’s not a dad i take it? It’s ultimately up to how you want to do things. Relationships are about communication!!! I dont know that I’d want my child sleeping next to a boyfriend/that new of a relationship though. Just my opinion. You can’t really know him that well if hes just now saying it’s disturbing. Didn’t you all talk about that before moving him in? Good luck.
