Why the confusion?
Okay so I've only posted one other time, so you guys don't know that I've been bitching to BF about SS9 sleeping IN THE SAME BED as us. This has been going on since he was 2 years old, when BF got custody rights for EOW. I do not feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed with SS b/c he's not my kid, and I don't even know why BM even allows this. I know for a a fact how much of a bitch I am, and I know I would not tolerate anyone sleeping my kid that's not his father or myself, if I had one.
Anyway, it finally takes for MIL to make a comment to my BF about the sleeping arrangements (remember, we have a 1 bdrm and we currently can't afford a 2 bdrm in NY), for him to finally get motivated to want to buy the bed. Of course, when he mentioned it to me, I was like, "It takes for your mother to make a comment to you for you to act on what I've been telling you for 7 years?". He ignored it, then tried to get the bed on my credit card: not going to happen.
He ended up buying SS a freaking twin AIRBED!!(and yes, I'm yelling). So it seems that I finally got what I wanted, but now I'm confused b/c I don't want SS sleeping in an AIR MATTRESS. If I had children, I wouldn't want them sleeping in an air mattress, same goes for my SS. I didn't realized I loved him so much....

Hey make it fun! Buy him a little tent too!
I understand where you are coming from. My FIL made a bed for my SD and it is pretty much a matress on the floor. I HATE it. But since SD has had it since she left her crib she loves it. DH doesn't understand but untill we started dating he slept on a matress on the floor too! I dont understand some people.
However things are alittle different in your situation. You do not have the means to buy him a bed. Don't feel bad. Start collecting pennies and eventually you can get that bed for him. Its only two weekends a month right? And its not going to harm him anymore then the idea that his dad does not need privacy or alone time with his significant other. The kid is way to old to be sleeping with the both of you!
Kudos to MIL for stepping up! Sometimes when a man hears the same thing in the same voice he stops listening, then when he hears it in a new voice it clicks... we really gotta build a micro-chip or something that will stop this... but its the truth.
Good luck with the air matress.. and try not to feel like you have failed in any way. Just do what you can.
Thank you ladies, for
Thank you ladies, for responding. Thetis, I did what you said and made it "fun" for him, and it turns out, he had no issues with his air mattress, it's all coming from me. Well thank goodness for that. I was ready to bring him back to the bed if he didn't want the air mattress, but all went well, so THANK YOU!!!
