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.

Infact OP the till thing is an excellent idea.. may have to tell DH about that one. I'm thinking irate sales manager and lazy stockboy get down and dirty over the tins of soup.

I once had to dash upstairs at a dc's party at home to retrieve batteries for the camera, they were in, er, dp's shaver thing Blush

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 21:42

haha @ batteries

at one time there wasn't a battery operated object in the house that still had batteries in...apart from one Grin

Nope, blurring lines and boundaries for me.

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:43

DD has one of those play tills.....

Always nice ham. Never plastic ham.

Mahogany is comfortable. Warm.

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:44

do you use the money too, OP?

Proudnscary · 20/09/2011 21:44

I don't care if I'm 'vanilla' or prudish or lacking in a sense of humour but this really turns my stomach... the connection between toddler toys and sex...GROSS!

PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 21:44

Well we do branch out into hospitals as well and yes, ToyMaster, the ELC stethescope is very good quality.

The Supermarket thing has lots of scope, although he always wants to buy melons.

I may even copy your idea- my supermarket fantasy is being able to afford it all and not having my card declined... Phwooar

ToyMaster · 20/09/2011 21:44

Just think of the possibilities AM...

StuntCubble · 20/09/2011 21:44

Really, you're supposed to actually wipe tables, before and after you say? Grin

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 20/09/2011 21:45

I am trying so hard not to laugh really hard at your last comment AnyFucker as have sleeping grotbag nearby.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 20/09/2011 21:46

Stunt - it saves getting crumbs up your arse, let's face it.

PlayLaughGrow · 20/09/2011 21:46

Never done it on a table though. Not sure if ours could take it tbh.

YANBU...may I recommend a Lion, Witch and Wardrobe knights outfit for a 'rescued damsel/knight in shining armour theme'.

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:47

Ha! DH always says 'every little counts' Grin

AnyFucker · 20/09/2011 21:48

Every little cunts, was that, AuntieMonica? :o

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:49

OP, don;t your DCs hear their toys?

DD can hear someone using her stuff when she's at school Shock

SwearyMary · 20/09/2011 21:49

Fuck it, I'm going to 'bed' via the loft

ToyMaster · 20/09/2011 21:49

Bath toys arnt bad though. Much fun can be had with a blindfold and some water filled bath squirters...

AuntieMonica · 20/09/2011 21:49
