My son 9 has been sleeping with his nana for years. is this too old? Are phycological problems he might have ?

Question

she is afriad that if he sleeps in own bed he might get scared. My father in law now sleeps in my sons bed because is smokes and snors

Answer 1

Don't let the kids at school find out... they'll abuse him!

Answer 2

my kids like to sleep with their Nena and they range from 5 to 14 they say their Nena is warm and soft they love her and i don't see a problem that!

Answer 3

that is way too old for your son to be in bed with anyone make him sleep somewhere else and put your foot down to her

Answer 4

Yes, that is too old.  I suggest that you stop this behavior immediately, cold turkey.  Your son will flip out for a few nights, but he will probably adjust to it in less than a week.  You (and his nana) have to be strong and refuse to give in.  Ask yourself this: when is this going to end?  When he is 13? 17?  When he goes to college?  Nine is already way to old for co-sleeping.

I don't know if there are any psychological problems associated with it, but stop it anyways.  He's going to get the **** kicked out of him if he enters high school and still sleeps with his grandma.

Answer 5

he's 9 years old and he sleeps with his grandmother, yes thats way to old. I mean every once in awhile if there is a bad dream, it may be ok to climb into bed with mom, dad or grandma, but thats just weird. I do have to admit though, I am very close with my mom and since I have been pregnant, if my dad is out of town and I stay at my parents I will climb into bed with my mom, of course we dont cuddle or anything but sometimes its a sense of security for me knowing shes right there, lol and I am 25, and sometimes its nice to be babied, but this has happened like 3 times since I have been pregnant and I am 5 1/2 months

Answer 6

yeah! i never slept in my parents bed once in my life.  

Answer 7

At 9, he needs to sleep by himself.  He's old enough to start to learn how to deal with things when he gets scared.  It doesn't mean he can't come to one of you, but he needs to start to grow up.  Also, it's good for kids to have personal space and know boundaries.  There's a million things to be scared of for our kids, but I think there are a ton more important things to worry about.  If you never let him sleep alone, he'll never learn how to handle it.
