I co-parent my daughter who’s nearly 8 so it’s just me in my king size bed. Over the last couple of years she’s chosen to sleep in my bed with me about 70% of the time. She goes to sleep alone and is fine. Sometimes she wants to sleep in her room and is also fine.
I don’t mind at all but I was just reading a Twitter thread where a psychiatrist told a woman this was unusual and damaging. Is it? Surely kids have slept with their parents the world over for centuries?
how is it damaging?
