AIBU to not want her playing with my soft toys?

[MsMarvel]

Even though dsd has a room full of soft toys and teddies, she seems to always want to play with mine.

I have a few soft toys that I have a strong sentimental attatchment to. Various gifts from dp, and I really like having the comfort of them.

I really don't like dsd playing with them, and want to tell her to go and get her own and leave mine alone, but it feels really petty, so it always ends up with her playing with them, and me on edge while she has them. I don't even know what I'm expecting to go wrong, but I get really uncomfortable if they ar e being played with.

Am I a horrible horrible person? Dp doesn't see the big deal, and I think he would be annoyed if I actually told her no if she asked to play with them.

Wow I'm amazed at how many people think it's U to have teddies as an adult!
I still have my two comfort bunnies that I have had since the day I was born. They live under my pillow and are off limits to everyone especially as they are very fragile now.
I also have two stuffed me to you bears that live on top of my chest of drawers that dh gave me on our first Valentines day. I also have another stuffed bear that lives on a shelf as I thought he looked like a cute bear and I liked the look of him.
The rest of my childhood stuffed animals are now in ds' s toy box.
Fwiw I am currently 11 stone (after giving birth to 9 mo Ds and currently 13 weeks PG with dc2) I also had these teddies when I was 9st8 before falling PG with Ds. Not sure what weight has to do with owning teddies but hey ho!

Fwiw op yanbu. Are there a few teddies that are less sentimental that you could let her play with if she asks permission? Or could you perhaps host a teddy bear picnic for the two of you so she can bring her teddies too? I'm sure she would love that and it would be a great way for the two of you to bond :)

I do have some less sentimental ones that I have in a basket on my chest of drawers, the problem is the special ones live on my bed and are more 'accessible'.

I could reorganize the basket ones to make them the more appealing and inviting ones, and if she's interested, I could let her pick one for her to have from me.

I'm 58kg and I think teddies are stupid.

(Keep them out of sight OP, problem solved!)

LOL'd @ suppository U2

Keep them out of sight op, that's the easiest way but I agree with the others saying that she is old enough to understand that they are yours and special to you. I like the idea if going with her to choose something special to "share"

Fwiw i have a few soft toys too. None from my childhood, one from dp which is a Tigger. I love Tigger!

You have a whole basket of 'less sentimental' teddies?!

Come on OP, just admit it! You are a plushie, aren't you, one of those people who are sexually aroused by soft toys :) Why else would you have a box of "less sentimental" teddies while the more sentimental are on your bed? They are your fun time teddies :) For that reason alone, please keep them away from your DSD.

I was a bit at Ant-thingy showing people her suppository. That'd involve some serious bendyness.
Anyway, total lardarse - I'm not saying how fat but very, here and I have a few teddies on a high shelf and one 42 year old handmade teddy called Fluff even though he has no fluff left who lives on the bed and sometimes even gets cuddled by me when I go to bed without dh.
Does that confirm the stats or throw them into disarray? I've lost count.

I have quite a lot of soft toys. Some are from my childhood, some are ones I just liked (I work in a toy shop that sells Jellycats! Lots of lovely things).
I sleep with a giant evil looking woodlouse from Ikea because it's very soft and squashy. The only toys that are off limits are the ones that could be damaged, eg a teddy stuffed with straw who is about 60yrs old, and another toy stuffed with birdseed!
You are not odd for having toys OP and I think giving DSD one from your collection is a sweet idea.
(size 12 here...)

I'm 9.5 stone and have a teddy on my bed who I've had from birth, and another one who I've had from soon after that. I might let my Dniece & Dnephew cuddle them while I was there, and I'd like to tell them how they came from their great-aunt & great-great-granny, but I wouldn't let them out of my sight. YANBU and I think giving her one of the less important ones is a lovely idea.
