So during my last session, I asked my T if she thought it was inappropriate to let my son (13) sleep with me once in a GREAT while. He was sick last week, and not sleeping well...and was just a bit needy, and I let him sleep with me. Someone who lives with us doesn't think it's "right." Sometimes my son will ask to watch a movie with me in my room, and we'll just fall asleep for the night. (PJs on, the dog usually laying between us). So my T said if it didn't feel comfortable, and we were clothed, she didn't see an issue with it. My male housemate, once I told him that, said "ask her if she'd feel the same way if it was a dad sleeping with his teenage daughter."

I know this post is kind of different from what we usually see on PC... but I'm wondering your thoughts. I see no issue with it, it happens VERY rarely, and I actually like that my son still feels close to me in that way. So it's only happened twice this whole year. I agree with what my T said, but my male housemate doesn't seem to agree. I'm sure my son doesn't go to school saying he slept in the same bed with his mom....he's very standoffish with friends around, as many are that way. But when it's just he and I, if he's not feeling well, he's still a big baby...lol.

So your thoughts? Anyone on here allow their young teenage (opposite sex) children sleep with them after a bad dream or if they're sick? I never thought twice about it until my housemate said something. I have not seen my T to ask her that question...about male adults vs. female kids.
