Is it really strange for a mum to share a bed with her adult sons once in a while?

[Amiaweirdos]

It's not an everyday thing, but once in a while.
Usually the youngest (23 years old)
This week said mum and 27 year old son shared a bed as they were travelling to see family and there weren't enough beds for everyone. It would have been the sofa for one of them otherwise.

Is it really weird ?

No, not weird. I have shared a bed with my adult sons when necessary- so what?

I guess if they’re both comfortable with it there’s no issue.

I would have personally preferred the sofa option rather than sharing with a parent, but people have different comfort levels.

not weird, we camp together, so that amounts to the same thing, crammed together side by side in a little tent for a week several times a year - very common in all camping families

Not weird assuming they don't sleep in the nude.

I'd have taken the sofa. Not sure my adult children need to know how much I fart at night or wake up with my cuddling them.

Why What do you think will happen

If it was purely by choice rather than necessity I'd think it was weird. Otherwise no.

I would be pretty uncomfortable with this and would take the sofa

travelling sharing a hotel room surely sometimes these things happen when the room cost is such that there is only one (all be it )large bed that's within budget.

I think it’s more weird that someone sleeps somewhere inconvenient because of the notion that it would be inappropriate for two family members to share the available sleeping space!

Not strange at all if both are comfortable

I think it's weird. As a woman I can't imagine ever having shared a bed with my wonderful dad. Was lovely when I was a little girl though.

I don't think it's normal behaviour.

Why do you think it's weirder than sharing a bed with a parent of the same sex though? It's just sleeping a couple of feet away from your parent.

I'm pretty sure my DS would just take the sofa.

No it's not weird.

I wouldn’t mainly because I snore really loudly!

It's weird

It’s very odd indeed.

Different strokes for different folks, surely?

A close friend of mine has her teenage son (14) sleep in her bed most nights.
I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping with my 16yo son.
But, I would easily do it if needs must?

I don't think it's weird.
It's just sleeping 😴

Not judging at all, each to their own and all that...

But my 20 year old son would be completely mortified at the very idea - and we're very close!

I would not do this.
It's just awkward.

So weird 😭

I think it's weird and would never happen in my family.

Yes, it's odd and definitely not the norm.
