Thanks for all the input! I never had ANY thoughts whatsoever until my dad started bringing it up. Heck...sometimes we slept with HIM when we were younger/scared/sick!! Now he put doubt in my head.... and so I asked my T about it, who saw nothing wrong with it as long as, like I said, fully clothed, and didn't feel weird to either of us. Last week was only the second time this calendar year....so it's very rare. But I always felt like if I said no the very few times he asks, that's rejecting.

I could also come from a place where when I was much younger, my mom wouldn't LET me sleep with her, if I was sick, or had a bad dream, etc etc. She never allowed me to, and I remember how bad that felt. My son is quite normal for his age, but also very sensitive....he's not a momma's boy, but when he's feeling vulnerable or sick, then he can be needy. I want to keep the relationship we have....so I don't want to reject him. I would guess once he's in high school or something, then I may put a stop to it.... but I have a friend who has been known to sleep with her high school age sons, but they very much ARE momma's boys.
