I have some issues going on with my living situation right now. that's a whole other story in itself! i live with my mother though. she asked me why i let my 2yr. old and my 4yr. old sleep in the same bed. i replied because they are brothers and i see nothing wrong with it. she said there is something seriously wrong with it, i can get in a lot of trouble for doing it, and if it's done again she will have to alert the necessary people. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Can someone please give me some insight here??? i am quite lost as to what's wrong with what went on!

That's kind of strange that your mom would react that way. My 2 and 4 year olds love to sleep together. The first thing I would do is find out if what she says has any validity to it. Call social services and ask if there are any laws against it, because you never know. There are some crazy laws out there. The second thing I would do is ask your mom what "specifically" is wrong with them sleeping together. You are under her roof so tread lightly. You might have to let your mom have her way since it's her house. Lots of luck!

funny that you suggest that! i actually did call them and am waiting for them to call me back. they were in tears when they found out they couldn't sleep together! i just don't think it's fair! thank you so much for taking the time to respond! it is very appreciated!

You're welcome! Did you ask your mom why it bothers her so much? I'm interested in her answer. Any plans of moving out soon? If so, you could always tell your boys that they can sleep together again when you have your own space. If not, you might have a few nights of tears, but they'll be alright:)

funny that you ask that. i actually have to be gone by tomorrow. she told me to just take the boys and get the heck out. i moved in with her b/c i needed chemo, am a single mom and couldn't handle chemo on my own. she asked me to move from ny to fl, i never asked her to stay with her. she wants us gone, i will have to do whatever i need to to make it happen.

Wow, I didn't see that coming! It sounds like moving out is best anyway. It's unfortunate that it has to happen like that. How stressed you must be. I wish you the best of luck-keep me posted.. 

god is great! i was just pouring out tears this morning afraid that i would have to go to a shelter with the boys. i decided to look on craigslist and am moving tomorrow! thanks for the concern sharon! what they say is really true: what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

I'm so glad to hear that you found a place! Good luck, I wish you and your boys the best!

I think there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with siblings sleeping in the same bed. It is probably a great comfort to them. I would suggest asking your mom what SHE thinks is wrong with it. My brother and I loved sleeping in the same bed as children even though we each had our own rooms.

I am sorry you have to go through chemo on your own. Please let is know how you are doing.

You and your boys will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear that things are rough on your end...not sure what is going through your mom's head.  I see absolutely nothing wrong with siblings sleeping in the same bed...my sister and I did it until she gave birth to her first daughter and she was 20 years old by time we stopped sleeping in the same bed!

I wish you the best of luck and will keep you and the boys in my prayers.  I know God will take you through this difficult time.  Just remember there will be the ups and downs but remember this: If God brings you to it, He will bring your through it!

Also, don't be afraid to ask for help.  I know if more of us were closer we would do what we could.  Hugs to you and yours!
