At what age should I stop letting my son sleep in my bed when my husband is gone?
Answers:
In Europe they have the 'family bed'...they are a lot less uptight about it than we are. I would say until either one of you is uncomfortable with it. I don't think there's any 'set' age. And truly, it is a personal preference. My sister's baby went to his crib from night 1--never slept in bed with his parents. My child slept with me until he was three. They are both happy and well adjusted. Do what you think is best.(Keeping in mind that is he's 15 and still sleeping with you even I'll think its weird :) )

As soon as possible. It's more about you than him.
When he pops out of your belly. I wish i knew! I'm a single mom of two boys and its a fight to get them to sleep without me. I think its when you feel uncompfortable with him in your bedroom. By you asking the question its getting close to time.
NOW ITS A LAW ABOUT YOUR KIDS BEING IN THE BED WITH YOU IM A TRANSLATER FOR THE DEPT OF HUMAN SERVICE AND THEY SAY ITS WRONG
If you allow this to continue for much longer, he might become uncomfortable sleeping alone which could lead to other problems. (ASAP)probably untill 11 years or so before he gets romantic dreams.
As to inapropriate ,i dont think there is such a thing,
Only you can make up your mind about that ,and your husband.
My daughter is 3 and I occasionally let her sleep in my bed when my husband is away, probably only once a month at the most. She loves snuggling up with me. We don't allow her to come in our bed at any other time because we don't want to get her into bad sleeping habits. She is becoming more aware of my body and my husbands, but this hasn't caused any problems at all. For me, it would be about 6 months, but i would get a intercom system so that i could hear if something sounded wrong
You definatly shouldnt let it get out of control. But one thing my parents did, was when I wanted to sleep in their bed, they made me a "nest" on the floor out of blankets, pillows, ect, and when I wanted to sleep in their room- I had to use my nest. It worked and eventually I didnt want to sleep on the floor- so I slept in my bed. Dont forget to make a few exceptions every once in awhile.. but make sure to explain to him when its ok- and when its not. Hope that makes sense!
As long as it isn't a regular thing I think it's a wonderful chance to spend some extra time together and probably makes daddy being away a little easier for both of you.Once a month or two is not infrequent. Do you really want your son resenting his dad because he's having to compete for the marital bed? He might be thinking I want my mommy but I can't have her because mean ol' DAD's home tonight. That is not cool. I hope I've put a new perspective on it for you. if he has no problem sleeping in his own bed.. THen why is he sleeping in yours at all?? Or is this for your comfort of having someone with you...
I wonder how old your son is?? I would say stop it right away if there is no reasoning behind it... Usually once every two months we let our daughter sleep in our room, but we make her up her own bed there, and the only reason for this is if we are having a special day where we're letting her watch a dvd while passing out.. So she usually sleeps on the couch in our room while we all watch a kids movie!
its never inappropriate unless youre doing inappropriate things...its your mom. Whats wrong with that? I think some people who condemn such things have hidden issues and perverted thoughts themselves
