A British mother is facing much criticism after coming forward to an unusual sleeping habit she has.
Laura Kemp, a 34-year-old mother and parenting author, wrote on Daily Mail that she sleeps in the same bed with her 6-year-old son every night. Her husband, however, sleeps in their guest room.
“I don’t really care what anyone else thinks,” Kemp wrote. “What I share with my son is innocent and magical and I won’t let anyone imply otherwise.
According to Yahoo, the essay has drawn thousands of comments, many of which are very critical. Kemp, however, maintains her ground in the situation.
Her son Paddy initially started sleeping in the bed after they let him sleep with them while he was sick for a period of time. After that, he didn’t want to leave. Kemp’s husband no longer sleeps in the bed because it is simply too crowded for all of them.
Her husband is not too happy with the situation in its entirety, Closer Online reports, however he understands that it upsets his son too much to not accept it.
