Husband doesn’t want toddler sleeping in our bed

So my 3 year old comes up to our bed in the night, usually around midnight. We have a huge bed and he sleeps on my side yet my husband doesn’t like him coming in our bed. To me I have no problem with it, he wakes up and wants to come for cuddles and goes straight back to sleep. I get that it’s like a routine for him now but I don’t see how it affects my husband so much when he cuddles me not him so doesn’t wake him up too much. Anyone else experience this or is it just my husband?

I think it’s quite common. Need to get to the bottom of what his concern is x

Probably it’s best to ask your husband where does his issue of your child sleeping on the bed with you two stem from? It’s pretty normal for children especially at 3 to want to sleep with their parents. If hubby has a problem maybe have him sleep on the couch? Be a parent doesn’t end at night time or when you go to sleep.

I ask him all the time he seems to think he should be sleeping in his own bed. “He’s old enough” I think his friends kids and family’s kids all sleep in their own beds but everyone is different right! Our youngest sleeps in her bed all night but our son just likes a bit of comfort and cuddles. I don’t see the issue with it personally I love the cuddles! Just frustrates me how he always brings it up and causes arguments!

Also says how when we go away he will find it difficult but I’m sure he’ll love cuddling his nanny just like he does me also says it’ll be harder for him to get into his own bed the older he gets 🤷🏻‍♀️

My 2 & a half year old does the same thing sometimes, usually between 2-4am. My husband is the same & doesn't really like it, but it's more because he normally doesn't know he's in with us until the morning when he wakes up & he's worried he's going to roll over onto him.
