To let my 8yo ds sleep in my bed?

[blubberball]

He sleeps in his own bed on school nights or if my bf stays over. But he has taken to sleeping in my bed recently, and as there's no school and no bf, I don't mind.

Does any one else allow their dcs to do this? Or should I be stricter about it?

My eleven year old (very independent) boy sometimes sleeps in my bed. See no issue, and one day we will miss it

My older ds is 12, and he used to sleep in our bed some times when he was younger. I can't remember the last time he did, so just goes to show that they do grow out of it eventually, and naturally want their independence/privacy.

Such an unsettling time for us all, Op, so don’t give the co-sleeping a second thought.
Us grown-ups are able to ring / text each other and say “do you feel weird? I’m missing the work banter, how are you getting on, it’s so scarey” etc, but our children haven’t got that safety net of friends at the moment, it must be bewildering for them!
If a bit of a cuddle and a chat at the end of the day helps them (and you!) then that’s lovely for you both.
We lost my dear husband when my son was only just turned 15, they were very close, and often in the night afterwards, my big lump of a teenager would come in “for a chat”... but it was really for a cuddle and a cry in the dark. He’s in his 30s now, and turned out just fine, so don’t worry, it will pass. Enjoy your cuddles Op xx

I’d let him for sure & deal with your boyfriend ‘replacing him’ when the time comes.
