Okay, before I say anything, I realize that it's her son and she can do as she pleases..but I'm concerned about how this is going to effect his growth..
My MIL still lets her 8 year old sleep in the bed with her and my FIL. He has his own bedroom, since he is the only child at home now, and it is fully furnished/decorated, yet she has him sleep with her. On the nights that my son spends the night with her (he's one) she has her son sleep in his room, but she has a baby monitor, and he's maybe 20-25 feet away from her room. My FIL still takes baths with him although he, "Keeps his underwear on" and they treat him like he's three. They baby him and don't make him do anything for himself. My husband (his brother) sees nothing wrong with any of this, other than the monitor part, and gets upset when I talk about how it's going to effect him. To be honest..he's a little wimp. He cries about everything. Plus, he's very jealous of my son and has hit/kicked him. I don't even like to go over
