6yo sleeping on the floor

I've been sleeping on top of a duvet on the carpet for 6 weeks as per my chiropractor and most of Asia/Africa to help back pain (it works!). My 6yo wanted to copy me and he preferred it to his mattress. But now my ex won't let me see him unless I stop him. I say I will aways give him the choice. I'm taking my ex to the family judge...

I'd be encouraging him to sleep in his bed.

Insisting on his "free choice", as opposed to potentially not seeing him any longer... seems a strange hill to die on.

This is clearly a small part of a much larger story.

I don't believe the court will stop him coming to my place over my letting him sleep how he wants to.

I do believe coparenting is impossible when one parent blocks the other over trivial things without any free discussion. The only option left is separate lives with school pick ups. Basically the headmistress won't breach the child arrangement order.
