Our son is 8 and has only just graduated onto a
mattress on the floor next to our bed. This was with much coaxing and he
still tries to convince us to let him get in with us but seems to gradually be
accepting the idea. Goes to sleep with all lights on if he goes to bed
before us.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] co sleeping with a
7 yo
This is more of a parenting issue than a mid
issue but i value any input at this stage. My 7 yo son still sleeps with
me every night, although he will occasionally snuggle in with his 9 yo sister.
I have never worried about it, as i figure he won't be there when he's 18. But
my ex mother in law has started mentioning a psychology study
that says boys who sleep with their mothers for such a long time
end up with mother issues, and are abusive and violent to theri partners whne
they get older. I might add that this is the same woman who was
horrified that i fed both my babies till they were happy to give it up at 2
years plus. She has now got a small part of worried that i could be creating a
real problem. Help!
