Lol I feel ashamed to say this but I'm 13 going on 14 and I sleep with my grandma! I don't think you should let him move just yet because maybe he feels more secure and safe with you and I don't think you should move him just yet. Leave him and I'm sure he'll grow out of it...hopefully I will too

It seems to me that he has just become comfortable that way, unless there are some details you're leaving out. If not, then perhaps you should just Give him your pillows and lay down the law. this will give him the understanding that its time to sleep in his own room, but provide some comfort in what he is used to. It may be difficult but it is necessary. Now if there are some little details that should be provided please do so, otherwise you're just not getting the best advice. I would also sit and talk with him or have his father or a male role model ask him about it to see if there is something that he doesn't want to share with you. Some children at that age are still scared of monsters in the closet or just having bad dreams alot. It could be a variety of things. It might even require therapy. Or it could just be a comfort issue. Hell I wish i my mom was around sometimes to pet my hair and put me to sleep. Lots of guys do. But alas....growing up prevents such things and requires more indendence. Whatever the problem I suggest you start taking action now before it causes real trauma.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.

If he has his own room try redecorating it to make it fun for him to stay in. if this is not a possibility try sleeping in his room for a week lessening the amount of time each night until youre only there to kiss him goodnight. kind of like weening a baby from the bottle. I sympathize. I have 6 kids thank goodness i never really had that problem.

My sister is eleven and she stop sleeping with my mom years ago.
I'm not a mother but I asked my family what they thought about it. My sister said to tell him that most eleven year old girls don't find that very attractive at all. Then I asked my parents what they thought about it. They said that you have been spoiling him way to much and you need to put your foot down and make it clear to him in whatever way possible that he needs to sleep in his own room. Then I asked my brother and all he did was laugh.
Now I'll tell you what I think. You should tell him that it is time to grow up. A part of growing up is sleeping in his own room.
But seriously, what eleven year old boy actually wants to sleep with his mom? Doesn't he want to have little horny thoughts about girls and stuff?
