My son is 4 and has been living with me, his aunt and uncle since birth, his mother gave up. Now I have a daughter with my new gf and we're in a different home now. He's never had his own room and always slept with one of us, but now I have to find a way to get him to sleep on his own. He cannot sleep through the night without waking up crying my name so I go lay down with him every night. I want to be able to sleep in our room while he sleeps peacefully through the night. If he has a bad dream or can't sleep, I want him to come to me and it be ok to sleep in our bed. She thinks he'll get used to the idea that he can sleep in our bed, just because he wakes up and comes in crying, leading to him wanting to do it for quite some time. I tell her, in other words, she's full of shit it's not like she's been a parent or raised a child before our newborn. Hell, she complains and nags more than shows any care or compassion. I question if she is even willing to be a step parent or just be a good woman to him.

Lemme know your thoughts, ask for more detail if needed. I just need to know.
