Hi all, it's been a while but let me first thank you for reading this and for any input you can provide...
My ex-DH and I have been separated for over a year. He's now co-habitating with his new gf. I have no issues with that, or with her - she's lovely, and she dotes on DS.
DS has lately been saying that he doesn't want to sleep in daddy's bed. I've discussed this with my Ex, and because he's looking for a new place at the moment (it could be two weeks, could be two months) and wants it furnished, he doesn't want to get DS a bed and have to sell it on again.
Today we chatted and Ex said he wants DS in his own bed in his house and in our house. I've explained before (pre-separation) that I want DS to decide when he's ready to move to his own bed, rather than force him.
Can I please have perspectives on a) the likely timing that DS will actually want to move to his own bed (based on your experience), b) some literature on attachment parenting and co-sleeping so I can speak intelligently about my views (I used to have it to hand but it's been a while), and c) how to sensitively and carefully discuss my views with Ex.
TIA!
