Recently, a reader named Britney commented on what remains the most popular post on the site, describing a situation involving her boyfriend, his kids, and their co-sleeping arrangement. For those of us who are co-sleepers, full- or part-time, this can become a complex situation as kids get older and/or parents remarry–or, as in Britney’s case, a significant other moves in:
My boyfriend and I have been living together for a year now, and together for a year and a half. The mom has known about me since I met the kids. Every time the kids would come down, I would hang out when I could but then go to my mom’s house to stay the night. (before he asked me to move in). One night, his daughter asked me to sleep with her and at the time they were still sleeping in the same bed with their dad.
