I work full time i live with my youngest son aged 4. His father left when he was 6 months old and didn't maintain contact. I started seeing someone about 15 months ago. Unfortunately i have no family support or friends with plenty spare time to lend a hand babysitting, this has put a great deal of strain on our relationship. My son falls asleep in his own bed, but more often than not at some point he wakes up and climbs in beside me. It wasn't much of a problem when i was on my own, but since beginning this relationship i have tried to take steps to stop this occurring. One being that i wont properly sleep as i am aware this is causing tension, so when he does wake up i will go through to his room and comfort him, usually am absolutely shattered and end off falling asleep beside him. Boyfriend then gets upset that i have fallen asleep in his bed!! i can't win!! my sons cottoned on to this sometimes he makes no noise and just comes through and climbs in unnoticed. Boyfriend not happy, moaning that he doesn't get a good sleep or enough room!!
