To think my mum is wrong!

[Toddlerteaplease]

(Lighthearted) My parents spare room is really hot, so I asked if they had a thinner blanket. I said I like to be covered as the monsters will get me. She says that’s rubbish!!

Oh no I have to be uncovered. Especially when it’s hot. Even in winter I have to have a least one leg out. Quick getaway I think 😀

I like a cover too. A few years ago DH bought me monster repelling spray to counter my dislike of the cupboard monsters (basically wardrobe/cupboard doors have to be properly shut before I go to sleep to stop the monsters coming out). I am 59.....

It never occurred to me I'd be got my monsters! I like a sheet to stop spiders molesting me though

Broccoli.

If DS ate some broccoli with dinner and we put a piece in front of his bedroom door, then the monsters would stay away.

Genius!

😂

The only monsters that are dangerous are the ones who do not go to rg universities to study stem subjects. The kind that will open their front doors to STRANGERS

Monsters live in wardrobes and keep their young in chests of drawers. That's why you must make sure they are properly shut before you go to bed.
It is acceptable to put your leg out of the covers, but only for use as a thermometer.

Cover up or else the spiders wipe their willies on you !!!

The small monsters will crawl up your bum if it's left uncovered

Yup. You need to be covered. And if you need to stick a leg out, only one at a time!

You're underreacting, @Slatterndisgrace -- the OP should clearly hire a hitman who should eyeball her mother while taking aim, hissing 'Believe in the monsters, now, Mum?'

That's demonic, but also brilliant.

You should write a parenting book. @Createausername1970.

I mean you have to be covered to be protected to the monsters, and let’s be honest, your mum knows this. So the real question is what have you done to her that means that she now wants them to get you?

Is it weird that when I was a little kid I actually used to hope there would be monsters so I could join their monster gang and have scary monster mates?

Yes, but weird in the best way.

Mosquitos. That's why I need to be covered.

Your mum is so wrong OP.

I've covered up all my life to stop the monsters getting me. I'm 76, never been nibbled by monsters so clearly it works.

And I don't believe that it's safe to stick a leg out as some pps claim. I'd never do that, it's far too risky.

You have to get under the covers before you turn the lights off or the ghosts will get you.

Your mum is happy to sacrifice you to the monsters to keep herself safe. Terrible.

If I was you I would phone childline. I'm sure there's no upper age limit when it's abused of this level.

Buy a sheet

oh yes, need a cover!

Have you considered the possibility that your mum in, in fact, in league with the monsters?

i guess she is in denial,
been got by monsters herself

How have you survived!!! My cousin told me if you do this you die - no fresh air.
This is why every night I hope Jack Frost won't bite my nose off.
Death by your own Breath, monsters, jack frost, ear wigs. Going to bed safe is hard!!
OP I feel your pain
