To now allow DSs friend over because of pillow fight?

[CrabbyPaty]

I don’t mind the kids playing with their pillows as I know a lot of their games involve the pillows - pillow fight, gladiators, paintballing etc but the rule is no stomper pillow. That’s it.

Last night they were playing upstairs when I heard crying, went up and DS1 had a bloodied nose, DS2 had whacked him in the face with a stomper pillow. He’s meant to be having a friend over tonight and I’m thinking of cancelling. DH said to just remove the stompers but I feel that is just masking DSs behaviour. Would I be going too far to cancel the sleepover?

I have 3 boys who got into similar scrapes( one involving a bunk bed and a broken window) It's how they learn. Remove the heavy pillows and replace them. No point telling them not to.They wind each other up and shit happens.
Tell the culprit to apologise to his brother and then have the sleepover.

I don’t think the OP is ever going to elaborate…

@CrabbyPatyare they a dunlopillo ? We have those and I’d imagine if I was hit with one of ours it would hurt.

N.Z here and never heard of this term !

Another one who's been cheered up by this thread. I am 78 and carer for a disabled husband so laughs are few and far between. Thanks for all the witty comments.

I had my nose broken and my jaw dislocated by someone hitting me with a pillow. It can actually be quite violent.

Since most of us seem to sleep fine and have tidy looking beds without 'stomper' pillows, I don't see why you need to keep them.

Stomper Pillow Stomper Pillow?

think it’s one of these?

Their 'strange words'. Hmm, i think you've mis-spelt 'rich, proud, local vocabulary and cultural terms' there. 🙄
