My boss still lets her 7 year old daughter sleep with her. Some may see nothing wrong with it, and I normally would not say anything about it if it wasn't gor the woman using it as an excuse. She says her daughter sleeps with her to help her get through her husbands death. He died of cancer 2 years ago, and this child is still sleeping with mommy. Mommy also has her boyfriend over and lets this man who is NOT related to them sleep in the SAME BED as her daughter. Do you not see something wrong with that???? Mommy, daughter and bf in bed together???? The boyfriend has also ADMITTED to having intimate relations with the daughter in bed asleep right next to them. They recently broke up over this issue, and I don't blame the bf! All that little girl has to do it say "he touched me" or "I saw him naked when I was in bed with him" and his life is OVER! WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS???

well i think lots of things going on with your friend. letting a bf sleep with her along with her daughter ???? Well as far as your question is concerned, we let our kids sleep with us. In India, usually kids sleep with the parents and if its a joint family then the kids sleep with grand parents or with parents. That is quite common with indians. When I gave birth to twins 5 years back, our neighbour who is an American came to our house to see my babies and adviced me to put them in separate room. But I didn't do that. Even today they sleep with us. If we need some quality time alone, then we both let our kids sleep in the master bedroom and we will sleep in the Baby room which works out neatly. I slept with my mom till i was 20 because its quite common in India and with middle class families, they will only have a living room and kitchen to live and everybody in the house will sleep in the same living room. Thats how life is going in India for middle class family people...

I have no problem with my children sleeping with me. When they have a nightmare, or are sick, they know that all they have to do is yell for me. I will join them. I have a daughter and a son from a previous marriage. They do not join my fiancee and I in our bed. He is not their father. He and I have a daughter together, who is 14 months old. She sometimes sleeps with us. But never ever ever would we be intimate or even naked while she was in the room....even though she is still a baby. There are just some things I don't think children should be exposed to. I say "BRAVO" to the guy that you mentioned. Children do and say things that they really don't understand. That would totally ruin him.

There is no reason why that little girl should be in bed with her mother and her boyfriend. Especially now when they are being intimate. That guy is right for not wanting to be a part of that.
