AIBU to use the DCs toys for our own (ahem) games?

Name changed for reasons that are about to become obvious.

DH and I like a a bit of dress up but are we BU to use our DCs toys for our own games?

While we're playing checkout-girl and stock boy, its great to have a till as a prop as he calls me over the tannoy to scan his veggies and the stethescope from the doctors kit really sets the scene as he cures me with his magic hands, but still, you have to ask if its unreasonable, really.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 20/09/2011 21:29

I just hope that those plums and bananas you are checking out meet with European size standards.

GlitterySkulls · 20/09/2011 21:30

i think children's toys should invoke memories of your child playing with them, not of you & your dh fucking Confused

sorry, it just seems wrong somehow.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 20/09/2011 21:30

I suppose if you wash them after. Properly at that.... Wink

SwearyMary · 20/09/2011 21:30

Brings a whole new thought to "Puppy In My Pocket" toys....

pigletmania · 20/09/2011 21:30

kat2504 · 20/09/2011 21:31

I like a nice pirate fantasy, perhaps your have a dressing up kit with eye patch, hat and sword?

In the unlikely event that this is not a joke thread then YABVGross. How can you sit and watch them play with the toys and not be mortified?

mumto2andnomore · 20/09/2011 21:32

This is a joke right ?

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 20/09/2011 21:32

Do you have your own 'outfits' I wonder?

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 21:32

I can't see anything wrong with it

Have none of you ever shagged your husband over the table your dc eat their dinner off ? Grin

BatsUpMeNightie · 20/09/2011 21:32

Fuck's sake. Hope this is a wind up but whichever way I think I'm going to puke!
