To have let DS (13) sleep in my bed last night?

[ReanimatedSGB]

It's a big double bed so there's room. From time to time when he was younger he would spend the night in my bed which I know is nothing out of the ordinary.
Basically last night he was upset and tearful and couldn't sleep. Part of it was him having scared himself watching ghost videos on Youtube, part of it is due to the fact that he was attacked in the street a few weeks ago... On one hand I'm thinking, nothing wrong with 'babying' him a bit when he's upset (he's only just 13 and in some ways quite young for his age) but I don't want to make a habit of it (he snores).

I don’t see an issue. I let my 13 old occasionally fall asleep in my bed, but he can’t sleep in it all night as dh has to get in! He goes through phases of bad sleep, which is why.,

Spook mine says this too. Don’t know whether to be flattered or scared!!!

I think its absolutly fine, and the fact that he knows he can come to you for comfort in any situation is something to hold onto. I used to spend the odd night in bed beside my mum after my dad died when I was 16, I was very close to him, it helpped me. I hope hes feeling OK soon

Completely fine, your poor ds 😞

In the circumstances you describe YANBU.

Bluesapp, me too. My dad died when I was 16, I slept with my mum for about a week, listening to her sobbing was awful (and has never left my memory). Sometimes everyone needs some physical closeness no matter how old we are.

I was 35 when my dad died and I slept in my mum's bed with her for a week, partly because she hadn't slept in a bed on her own for 40 years and was just lying awake all night. She slept better with me there so that was good enough for me.

You do what you need to do.
