Interesting reading. People think it is bad to sleep in the same room with a three year old child and have sex? Wow. From what I know, most three year old kids sleep like the dead, and would not notice any adult activity going on.

What do co-sleepers think about this? Can adults have sex with a three year old in the same room, sleeping?

I think it would be confusing for a 3 or 4 year old to see Dad kissing and hugging and sharing his bed with a changing repertoire of women. I think most parents can agree with that. However, this is Dad's parenting decision and Mom cannot do anything about it. Hopefully she can provide a strong model for healthy adult relationships and reinforce that with her son as he grows.

I can't believe people think it's ok to have sex in the same room as a child. Sleeping or not.

And you think the dad doesn't care about the son? It's actually not what's better or not better as far as him bringing home his girlfriends - it's that the ex-girlfriend has no control over that and might as well just forget it and worry about how she parents the child.

When you decide to have children with someone, it's a little bit of a good idea to make sure you have the same general beliefs and attitudes on child raising.

Trying to control who he decides can be a guest in his house as the ex-girlfriend is not a good idea.

Now if the father came on here and asked our opinions on what he should or should not do, I think a lot of people would tell him they didn't think it was that good to be bringing home various women and that he should just spend his visitation time with his kid.

Yes it would be preferrable for both parents to dedicate themselves to the child and also to consider one another's wishes but that's not what it's about.

What do you suggest the OP do? She can really do nothing other than explain to him why she doesn't think he should do this but he can do whatever he likes which also means disregard everything she says about it.

But it's not just an "ex-girlfriend". It's the child's mother. I didn't say a word about the father being good or not but he is certainly making a **** poor decision parading some random girl around his son.

If it were me? I wouldn't allow my son to sleep over there until ex and I could agree and stick to rules about visits.

You don't get to choose if the child visits or not if it's court ordered visitation. Plus who's to judge when he's sticking to the rules? She won't know unless she is there.. What you say sounds good here but is unrealistic. Unless she wants to take him back to court she has no say. Please read my previous post as to why.
