Concern about my son

    I must be really thick but the idea I am getting from this is that the mum is co-sleeping with the child and you think its odd? Nearly all children have a stage of seperation anxiety at some point, co-sleeping or extended so-sleeping isnt exactly unusual either, I really cannot see what the problem is and it really riles me when people throw social services around because they dont agree with the way a child is being raised.

    So what if the elder child had involvement, its not uncommon now when people are willing to ring them at the drop of a hat.

    you need to read the whole thread. It's the mum who has the problem. There was role reversal with the girl and the mum and the girl didn't go to school etc. and was taken away by SS. The OP is now worried that the mother is using the boy in a similar way.

    What does the daughter think to all this? She's probably the best person to know whether the same pattern is starting up.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
