My son (5) and I moved in with my SO about three months ago and one of the boundaries they have set was to not let him crawl in bed with us throughout the night or in the morning. I’ve accepted this and have not allowed it. I always wish I can just say yes and let him jump in so I can snuggle him up and fall asleep and let him watch cartoons or something. But SO feels like I would easily fall back asleep and they wouldn’t be able to because they have a hard time sleeping in general. So it would just be them up in bed while I’m asleep (a likely scenario). I brought it up hoping for 1 day of the weekend (we have shared custody and have him 50% of the time so as far as weekends, he is only with us every other weekend and half the week) where I could just say yes. SO wasn’t willing to allow that. They said they would either let me sleep and take him to the living room to play and make coffee and what not or if I want family time where I will be staying up and having quality time with all three of us then it would be ok and we could all watch a movie or something. Sounds reasonable, honestly. but I’m upset that they won’t just let me have this. How do I navigate this? Can I get some perspective please. Not just wanting to be told that I’m right or wrong.

UPDATE: Yeah I’ve already read this back and am now bracing myself because I fucking know that, that was a reasonable boundary. I’ve already told them thank you for still thinking of me when changing the boundary. I just realized I was throwing a fit and now I deserve what’s coming to me. Lol
