i’m a 27 year old single mom with a 12 year old (yes i had him at 15) son who has severe ADHD. his father used to physically abuse me, and i left him a few years ago. i’ve been single ever since, and we’ve gotten super comfortable with each other just because of what we’ve been through the past few years (abusive ex, dangerous area & i had to work late nights at the club to pay the rent when he was a toddler). recently these past few weeks, my son has been knocking on my door at night because he can’t sleep and i feel bad so i’ll let him sleep with me for the night. he’ll cuddle with me a bit and we sleep pretty well, however i’ve read online that co-sleeping isn’t super healthy, and i definitely don’t want to negatively affect his development in any way. any advice would be appreciated :)
It looks like this has been deleted, but uou just posted a question in a parenting community asking how to talk to your son about puberty. He’s twelve. He needs personal space and privacy, and he definitely needs to be sleeping in his own bed. Imagine how awful and confusing it would be for him to have a wet dream while in bed with you.
Please set a boundary here for his own good. And get to the bottom of why he can’t sleep.
Also I feel like you’ve posted about this before?
Yeah I had to go back through my comments to find it, but this account definitely posted this exact question, 25 days ago. The account is 26 days old. Looks like the other post was deleted. Not sure what’s going on here, but it sure throws flags.
They have. This account seems concerning to me either because they’re a real person asking these questions repeatedly and being given good advice then ignoring it and asking again later or it’s someone/something pretending to be in this situation for some unknown reason.
