Is it normal for a dad to sleep in bed with his daughters?

in a different time this might be normal but with all this about sexual molestation and children at risk it's kind of a red flag for me to read this. idk I think it's kinda creepy but that's just me.

Not many women would put up with this...

Lots of couples (especially after the "honeymoon period" wears off) need each their own bed to sleep well. If your boyfriend is honest that he needs to sprawl out, you should replace the queen with 2 good sized single beds in the master bedroom.
Then follow the advice of ComboBreaker, 'Ease both him and the girls into sleeping in seperate beds and rooms. Say things like "its only across the hall, if you need anything just call dad and he'll be right there." '

uhh..I know a lot of people are saying this is normal but in my opinion it sounds kind of creepy. I know from experience, my dad used to be the same way.

if you think he might be a pervert you should research into the signs of sexual abuse before coming to conclusions.

I would caution him to be very careful if (CPS) were to ever find out they would take his kids away. It is not right for a adult parent to sleep with his kids especially if they are little girls. I hope you will take note of this as serious and end it before he ends up lossing his kids mabey even forever

OMG same problem i had but i made my bf stop having her sleep in our bed it was way too wierd bed time u too should be alone in bed its a time for romantic intimacy i am so against it i mean maybe once in awhile if she had a bad dream i understand but everynite and u need to let him know the seriousness of this situation he SHOULD NOT be in there bed so innapropriate i threatened to leave my man if he didnt stop it i meant it too i would have im not dealing with anything that makes me uncomfortable good luck

I have a 3 year old who sleeps with my husband and I at least twice a week. It's cozy and we are comfortable together. It's sweet! No worries.

It's not good. Regardless of if it is anyone's normal or not. I can tell you from being a child growing up on tbe receiving end of sexual abuse that it is not good. Little girls from age 3 to 6 are developing what love means and when i was a little girl at that age I wanted to marry my daddy. I was the one who started him touching me because my body and brain didn't know the difference between love and sex. It isn't always the dad who starts it. My dad didn't say no which he should have but this can turn into a huge issue. You all need to consider where the little girls mind is at. NOT JUST THE FATHER. If they are hurting from divorce i would even more strongly recommend against it. But that's just a sexual abuse survivor's input.

Check out my post 2 btw it's not normal

The reason is lame. Why not sleep in his own bed of that is the case?

It's weird. I'd like to give him the benefit of a doubt but it seems like he's making excuses. Sit him down for a serious talk and ask him WHY he's doing this. If it truly is over space, I don't see why he can't sleep on the couch, you can consider buying a larger bed. I know! You can ask him if he still sleeps with them even if you aren't staying over.

Sounds like a bit of jeasuley behaviour to came out and ask tha question or maybe its not for you to look after another womens kids ,you have to remember that if His girls were their first don't hold it against them like some women do Talk to your patented explain the way this make you feel,better bedtime routine is needed......as or pervert your don't even now the man only from a couple of words that from a women how won't even tell her boyfriend she even asked this question cause her relationship would over to walk into a family and beleave your THOUGHTS you are not happy

It can be normal to a certain extent. My dad had to move into a one bedroom apartment and I would sleep in his king sized bed whenever I'd stay over. It felt very warmin because I lived in a different state and didn't get to see him much. He ended up dieing a year later of cancer.

When children are younger it is normal to sleep with them once in a while but 3/6 years old Daughters a father should not be doing this. You avoid problems in life.
And you are right to let him know they should be in their bed and how were you to know he would head to their bed, that's uncalled for and their bed is smaller? You are right on point girl.

Normal. Kids like to stey with there parents all the time and offen sleep in the same bed. Its more a comfort that their there. Well, in this case, one of them. Thouse girls might not fully understand why they only have there dad living with them. Its only natural since there staying with there dad and there mother isnt around that they stey with him to make sure he dosnt leave too. They simply dont want to be alone.

As for him sleeping in the same bed as them. His excuse may be fictional due to trust reasons. Maby its a request from the daughters? Or maby because there his kids and he dosnt want them to go or be taken away AND infact fears this. So he sleeps in the same bed to comfort not only them but himself. Making sure his children are still by his side. For all we know his ex wife could be trying to gain some if not all costody over the kids. In there time of fear that they will be split up they stick closer together in best attepts to avoid this.

Solution? Ease both him and the girls into sleeping in seperate beds and rooms. Say things like "its only across the hall, if you need anything just call dad and he'll be right there." it will take a while for this to sink in. For the first couple nights they will call for there farther. But you must be strong and keep at it. If its any comfort to the dad. Asure him that their not going to be taken away and are safe in there own room. He can triple cheak windows and doors are locked and that an alarm is active. They only want eachother to be safe and near, im sure.

Divorce is a hard thing for kids to go though. There still very young. Remember its tough on adults too. In his own way he may have moved on. But thouse kids are still his and his ex wifes. And somewhere inside he will always have a love for her, her children, his children.

Though i could be wrong. This isnt for me nor anyone on the internet to deside. We can only advise. Its for you to make judgement and decide whats going on. but dont asume... Thats the worst you could ever do. Try gaining more trust and talk to him... them. Dont take it personly, but he trusted someone once, enough to get married and have kids. Why should he trust someone else?

I think its normal ._. as long as they arwnt over the age of 8...
If they were teenagers...
THEN we have a problem

it seems to me that there is more jealousy in this issue for you. My husband puts my daughter to bed every single night...i move him to my bed when i go in and she will wake up and call for him. He is her security blanket and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Espcially you should be ok with it unless you think something more serious is going on. (like sexual activity). which way more than likely there isnt. you should look deep into yourself and see if it is "a serious problem" he sleeps with them or if your jealous. and i dont mean this in a negative way. jealousey isnt anything to be ashamed of. idk..i like that my husband is so connected with my daughter and it is a special bond but at the same time...i want my husband too. :) so iguess looking into harder You should have a deep conversation about it and come up with something suitable for both of you. instead of demanding it. i really hope this helps even tho im riding on the fence. but no one here can give you your decision. Thats your to make with your man. lol. Thanks.

WTF PPL havent you ever seen a mother dog take care of her pups? they sleep together! completely normal unless hes like abusing them. but hes not so it doesnt matter hes just napping with his kids wtf? every mammal does it i used to nap next to my parents mom and dad! its completely normal

THERES NOTHIN WRONG HE JUST LOVES HIS KIDS

Well, i think it is normal. I mean, it's like you are the boss, but your not. You tell him that they HAVE to sleep in their own bed. ITS OK! They love him, he loves them! It's not like he loves you as much as he loves them! Jeez!
