I hate dummies !!!

[EsmeDavina]

I have a real hatred for toddlers with dummies! It actually irks me so much.

I totally get there is a time and place for dummies to soothe and settle babies.

My own son had a dummy as a newborn but I took it off him/he gave it up at around 6 months.

I could not bear for him to be one of these children you see with a dummy you cannot part them from.

My friends children his age still have dummies and every photograph you see of them they have this unsightly thing plugged in their mouths.

Even when we are out, they are given the dummy for no reason. Not upset, not settling to sleep just automatically put in the mouth.

I never used to have such a thing about dummies until I became a mum and I don't know why they annoy me so much 😂 !!

I know it's stupid because they aren't my children however does it bother anyone else as much ?

Never been bothered by any other child with a dummy, maybe I would be if I saw a school kid with a dummy but I haven't, but even then I'd just think they're a child and happy so what's the problem.
The only super judgy issue I have is kids with lollies, running around or climbing on a park. Probably fine but it always scares me that they will fall and choke

@Bizawit I do think @Tumbleweed101 has a point though. Definitely not everyone at all but I did this with first son without really realising at times. Without a dummy with my first son I would probably be in jail now becaue it was the only thing that worked. But there a loads of kids I've met who don't need a dummy and love a proper convertaion but you need to take the dummy away to understand what they saying
