overnight stay question

Next weekend my guy is taking my me and my son to Six Flags amusement park on Saturday. It's close to 2 hrs away from me and my guy has offered that we stay at his place Friday night and all drive together on Saturday morning. (he's 3 hrs away but actually closer to the park). My son is 9. How would you feel about having your child sleep over - on the couch - at your guys place?? They have met and they get along great. I just wonder how he'd feel knowing that mommy is sleeping in the same bed as the new guy!! I'm not sure what to do...

That sounds less scarring. Wasn't there some deal where kids aren't supposed to meet a new guy until after a year of exclusive dating? I've seen it on these boards and heard it on talk shows but not recently.

I agree with some and strongly disagree with some of the posts here. I think you need to reserve the "sleeping with the boyfriend" to when you have NO kids around. Sorry, but I don't see it as being good for your son to be aware of your sleeping habits. Doesn't matter how much your son likes him or not. Even if he doesn't say anything, he will be aware and look back on his Mom's dating habits with maybe some questions as to why he was even exposed to such "grown-up" activities. Save it for when the kid isn't there.
