My aunt makes her son sleep in the same bed as her. She's pretty needy.

That child will have some serious mental problems when he gets older, he will probably never have a normal relationship with a woman, so sad.

A child is supposed to have attained (1) roots; and, (2) wings...also called Individuation and Differentiation The child could be forcibly ejected by Child Services, but I don't think that helps satisfy either condition... The child can be nurtured and supported in breaking free (wings) but, unless the child discovers the neediness of the mother, he cannot expect roots (groundedness) Perhaps the mother is wanting to be the child and wanting the son to be the parent... If the child is yanked out of the bed situation without replacing it with something positive, it doesn't accomplish what was wanted for the child... It's very effective for a child to get counseling rather than waiting until he's an adult

When a child sleeps with their mother until the fifth grade, the child will 9 times out of 10 end up dependent on the mother for all of life.

Let's just say that their are line's. He need to grow up and by the sounds of it fast, our your going to have problems. I never like to sleep in the same bed as other people, so I've sleep on the floor a good portion of my life, less then half. The only person I've been able to share a bed with is my brother, and not even all the time, only during winter, because the floor is tile, and it get's realllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy, cold.

I slept w/ my grandma out of choice until way past the age of what most people consider "acceptable". I always felt safe and secure and I always slept better. Sometimes I would sleep in my bed, but mostly with her until I was 11. After that I was fine and have no problems today. They are could be very close. How do you know that she makes him? My daughter is in second grade and if she was allowed to sleep in my bed, she would! Kids love their parents and want to be close to them any way they can. There is also the cross-gender bond to consider. The only thing that would/could harm him emotionally is if there was something sexual happening.
Has he expressed to you that he wants his own bed? Is he being Forced? If he has no choice in the matter, than that is weird.

Sounds like the mom has issues. I had a really needy mother like that, and I ended up having to think and act as an adult (at a very young age) due to her neediness and overall craziness. I'm 32 and have just gotten my head to stop spinning. All in all, she's still a nut and it screwed me up for a long time.

She should not be doing that. She has to know that it is bad for him. Maybe it makes her feel better and less lonely but it is really not healthy for him (not for her either). She knows that. But she'll have a hard time giving up the practice unless she truly realizes how much damage she can be doing to her own son. I can't imagine, for example, that he could ever tell any of the kids he knows that he does this without them teasing him, bullying him, or otherwise treating him like a freak. Kids are cruel but in your own way, your aunt is being cruel.

thats gunna seriously screw the kid up.
he might have high dependency issues, might suffer from issolationism, due to not being able to cope with sleeping alone, might give hermit characteristics,
should get kid out of the bed (is unhealthy anyway, and if people find out, kids will tear him to pieces).
a good psychologist / psychiatrist for both of them would be a good idea
