So my partner used to work away all week until a few months ago so when he was away I would let or son sleep in our bed at weekends because my OH asked and I felt bad that he was missing time with the kids but it's been months and he's no longer working away he constantly puts our boy in our bed every night even if on the slim chance I get him to want to sleep in his own bed OH WILL CALL HIM OR COME IN AND WRECK IT then we have tears and he picks him up and puts him in our bed I'm 34w with my 3rd and I'm so sick of having to wake up or wait till they fall asleep to carry my 5yo back to his own bed luckily my 1yo daughter will only sleep in her bed or I think they would all be in there I mean it's nice very now and again but I'm so tired and hot and fat I just want my own space Iv never been a fan of co sleeping even just for naps I feel bad because all I see is " I wish my oh would want to co sleep " or "I love co sleeping but my oh doesn't "and I feel like I'm wrong to be on this side of the fence am I a bad mum ?? Iv told my OH how it makes me feel it's like he would rather have our boy in our bed than me Iv slept on the sofa a few times but it doesn't bother him he just says I'm being silly and that the boy isn't even taking up that much space and then he will say yeah maybe he is getting to big but by bed time there both in there oh unless he wants some "adult time" then it's kids bath in there own bed and there's no complaints from my son then if daddy puts him in his own bed then he will sleep in there no probs I'm just happy to be able to sleep all night with out getting kicked or head butted or sweaty lol does anyone else have this problem or is my other half some weird one of a kind co sleep enthusiast dad because I can't find anything on the internet about dads that want to co sleep and Mums who don't ps. my son has mobility issues he cannot walk and my oh has always been very overprotective of him I am the trainer you can do it yourself or at least try type other than his mobility he is a perfectly normal 5 yo boy and he is beyond his years in getting what he wants and playing his parents

I wouldn't say he's a cosleeping enthusiast 😂 Just sounds like he enjoys cuddling his boy. But if it's not working for both of you, it's not working. All you can really do is talk to him and make him see you're not comfortable especially being so very pregnant! Can he cuddle in with him in his bed for a couple of hours a night?
