My husband works away and isn't home in spaces of 8 weeks so I sleep alone in bed. About every other night my son will get up and say that he's lonely and wants to come in bed with me and when he's there he'll hold me really tight and will sometimes fall asleep with his arms around me. Sometimes he succeeds in getting into bed without me even noticing. Do you think this is abnormal? Neither of his sisters have done it - one is 13 and the other's 4. He's 7 by the way. | ||

Do you think this is weird behaviour from my son?

i don't think so. I think he is just that...lonely, and wants to be with his mom.

I'll allow my son to sleep in my bed as a reward. I don't see anything odd with it. I don't cuddle him in my sleep though. To me, he's still a little one. | ||

Would this have anything to do with it... Quote:

I don't think it's strange at all. Yes he's kind of a little old for that but I think it's just that he is an affectionate boy who loves you very much and feels safe and secure with you. | ||

I don't see any issue with it either. Just as he said, he probably is lonely and misses his dad. His clinging is probably his way to feel safe and loved. | ||
