Kicking the teddies out the bed might get him kicked out!!

[mummy2theboys]

My DH took it upon himself to black binbag my DS age 5 teddies as he thinks they are only for girls!! DS and I managed to retrieve them and am now finding every night DH makes some comment or other about how DS is too old for said teddies when bedtime arrives. May sound like a trivial matter but becoming more and more heated as each evening passes. Having explained that his concerns belong in the era of the dinosaur, and that our DS takes comfort in said teddies and sleeps all night long what is his problem?? Am now being v rude to him re this matter. Anyone else encountered this? Would love some advice to shut him up once and for all on this matter. Ta xx

he's a wanker

hit him over the haed with a teddy

Tell him he is old enough to sleep alone.

Your husband that is.

agree with HSOM

Your DH is an arse.

My 7 year old ds sleeps with so many teddies there is almost no room for him in his bed.

Your dh is being a knob.

Blimey he has strong views on the subject!
I'd tell him to stop bullying your ds
his snidey comments will do nothing for your poor ds' self esteem

Ask his mother what toys he slept with as a small boy.

Present him with that next time he comments. Then kick the twat in the shins (or wherever you deem suitable)!

Your son is only 5 years old! He'll out grow them soon enough. Let children be children fgs

He'll give his son a complex at this rate

Poor kid .

He'll make his own mind up when he's too old for them - until your dh is being unbelievably unkind to him.

Good luck in getting him to back off.

that's sort of sad though, did your dh have them himself as a child? perhaps he wasn't allowed them

Grr, he is an arse. Tonight my DS (5) was saving his sons (two dolls) from the poo-monster (his sister) and the fire ball. He was later a baby lobster, then a mummy mussel who was having a baby which his sis was trying to eat, but was persuaded to wait for it to grow up before consumption. He is a gorgeous well adjusted boy. YADNBU

VoidofDiscovery - LOL

Is your DH always a horrid bully or does he just have teddy related issues? Does he not like his child being happy?

I know it was hysterical

He must love his DS, so must think it's for the best . Can you find out why he thinks this, as it's quite interesting and odd at the same time - your OH that is, not your DS's interest in teddies.

Yes, totally agree with you all. Thanks, will now go and verbally kick DH into next week. This was my first post, v impressed with how many replies I got. Ha

I'd go down to the bin and get them out again and give them back to my DS.

Your DH is mean .

Tell him to stop being so fucking mean or that is how his kids are going to think of him, as a mean bastard.

DH is just doing DS's story time now and of course had to wait until DS sorted out his cuddly for the night.

He sounds like a fucking bullying prick tbh.

Give him some information about the importance of teddies etc, as transition objects - children actually need them to feel safe and comfortable away from their mother.

What's the matter with him? He sounds bloody insecure, imposing his own hang-ups on his child. I loathe bullies like this.

My DS is almost 9 and still has teddies. What does your dh say about that? He is being a bully and is only going to make your DS sad and scared and resentful.

He's also showing your DS that what he loves and what's important to him, is of absolutely no importance really, and that Daddy doesn't care about what's important to him - a real attack on your DS's self-esteem.

I can't say wanker enough times tbh.

Seriously?!

Is he prepared to tell you why his reaction is so strong?

Bonkers I've 6 year old how still has a teddy (the one's he doesn't like get fecked out of the bed regularly - but by him!!)

I don't think he'd let on to his pals he has a teddy but i can see it staying for a good while

DS2 is 4 and has two which go with him everywhere (and have opinions)

Emotional abuse. You're staying with
this wanker why???????????
