Hi - just wanted some opinions. My brother is going thru a divorce but is still acrimoniously living in the matrimonial home. From time to to time my 13 year old niece will go and sleep in his bed. It's none of my business really, other than as a concerned aunt/sister but I think that 13 years old is way to old for my niece to be sleeping with her father. Obviously he is a devoted dad and would never do anything to harm his kids but I don't think it's good for him or my niece - any views on this?

It's from "time to time" and not every night - she is probably comforted by this and no, I don't see anything wrong with it. I would be more concerned if she was with him every night - only because it may indicate she's having issues in life etc. Not because I think it's inappropriate.

if this was a boy sleeping with his mum would it still be an issue - i have a 12 year old son a six year old son and a 9 month old son and the love nothing more than spooning with their mum on weekends etc - they would be in beside me every night if i allowed it - why does this bother you??
