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'm getting nothing for "stomper pillow"

Lots of different types of pillows, mind you, but no stompers

💯 % vote for YABU at the moment.

At least 150% of those votes will be for the stomper pillow shite. 😠

Stomper pillows are very heavy pillows. The soft pillows go on top of the stompers.

Maybe the OP is Continental or Northern!

Can you link to some? Because Google doesn’t seem to recognise them as an object. Are they actually called that or is it just what your family call them?

I'm northern and I have no idea.

are you australian?

Well it was obviously an accident!! We don't know what stomper pillow are so I doubt the boys did hence why the accident happened!!

You're massively over reacting to want to cancel the sleepover.

This is all I got!

Still have no idea what a stomper is, a heavy pillow 🤔?

I'm Australian and have never heard of it! Not one of our terms 😁

Could be Scottish - sounds like one of their strange words!

i wouldnt cancel
just hide the heavy pillows

I am a mix of northern and continental and have never heard of these before!

Is this just a family word?

I saw a couple of entries on Google for a “stomper squish pillow”. Nothing of the nature described by OP.

Do you mean a bolster? https://www.dunelm.com/product/duck-feather-bolster-cushion-pad-1000000591?defaultSkuId=20129644&branchCode=0335

Imagining these on all the beds in @CrabbyPaty house now

What's in the pillow to making it heavy?

It’s not. Does ‘stomper’ sound remotely Scottish to you?

Bricks maybe?

I don’t know to be honest, we were given them by DHs mum. They’re awful I don’t know why we use them. I thought everyone called them stompers but maybe not! They’re hard heavy pillows, old fashioned I imagine

Well it was worth a guess! It's not Northern, Continental or Aussie

No nationality or area has claimed ownership of stompers yet 😁

Sounds like a bolster. Maybe you should just throw them away @CrabbyPaty.
