[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 509934, member: 1514"] Its illegal for a kid to sleep with a parent? What happened to the family bed concept? I must have broken the law many times then. As recently as a few months ago too. My boys have always been allowed to sleep in my bed if they wanted to. It got pretty crowded at times. Even when Jamie went to the Marines, when he came home on leave, he would normally end up coming to the house in the middle of the night and just crawl into our bed right between his dad and I in our king sized bed and snuggle up and whisper...Im home! And fall asleep. LOL. Fully dressed of course. Cory comes into my bed when he is sick even now. He wants momma. I dont see anything wrong with a 14 year old sleeping with his mother as long as both of you are dressed appropriately. Of course, you said he has a mattress on the floor. Could you just get a twin mattress and put it next to his and sleep on that until this passes? Most twin mattresses arent that expensive right now. Big lots has them on sale right now. Or Sams club. Or even try freecycle to get one. Maybe you could get one of those bunkbeds that are singles on top and then look like a couch on the bottom but fold out at night to a double bed with a futon type thing and you could sleep on that. That is the type bed we had for Cory and Jamie for years. Cory had the top and Jamie had the bottom. They kept it folded up as a couch most of the time though because it made the room bigger.
