My Oh, who is my sons father is hell bent on wanting to chuck out, some stuff from our sons room, as he is 15 and according to my Oh, still has baby stuff in his room. Not really, he has some small teddies, which he had in his moses basket. But that's it really. My son has a load of soft toys, so I am wondering if this is what my partner means.
I cannot bring myself to donate, these soft toys, as I see them and rember my son getting them and sleeping with them etc. My son doesn't want to part with them either. I think when he is older, he might decide to down size his collection, but I was 20, before I down sized my soft toys and that was because we moved house. I am now gutted, as I had a few original care bears, which probably would be may be worth something now, I don't recall donating them, so it was maybe something my parents did.
My question is, what happend to my partner, to make him so cold and heartless that he wants to get rid of a load of soft toys that have brought our son happiness, rather than leaving him, to come to the decision himself when older or off to uni.
My Oh, also isn't big on cuddles, he will not occasionally give me a cuddle. But he use to ask what was wrong with me, when I asked for one. I did once say to him, what's wrong with you, didn't your mother cuddle you enough, after he had said something, that I thought was cold.
I know men don't get in touch with there emotions, so much. But I don't get why he cannot let our son grow up in his own time. Not on his dad's time line.
