Do your 7 year olds still have teddies? I got my son a teddy and my mum said he’s “a bit old” he’s 7 and he’s “a boy” Hmm

Just ignore.

Mrsjayy · 20/11/2021 21:10

Just ignore her of course he isn't to old even for a boy !

AssassinatedBeauty · 20/11/2021 21:10

Of course he isn't to old. Or the wrong sex for a Teddy. Just roll your eyes and ignore your mum's comments.

My eldest is 7 in Feb, he still sleeps with 3 teddies. I slept with a Teddy till my teens. Comfort is comfort and shouldn't be denied.

Huh? My 6 year old boy has about 20 on his bed.

Mumdiva99 · 20/11/2021 21:11

My 9 year old boy got a new Teddy this summer...a miniature of another one he has called....xxxxxx junior. Last Xmas he got 2 small ones of another Teddy he has called yyyyyyy junior junior and yyyyyy junior junior's brothers. (He already has xxxxxx, yyyyyyy and yyyyyyy junior!)

My other son meanwhile would have wondered why he was being bought teddy's at any age as he has no interest in them.

If my 9yo is on a rare occasion offered to choose something in a shop, she will always go for a teddy.

Her 9yo friend (a boy) is the same.

My 7 year old son has teddies. I know adults who have teddies!

InTheLabyrinth · 20/11/2021 21:12

Ignore your Mum. Get what you think your child will love.
My 12 yr old still has favoured teddies at the bottom of his bed. Heck I still have my favourite teddy from my childhood.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 20/11/2021 21:13

I'm 45 and I have a Teddy

FatCottonBuds · 20/11/2021 21:13

My 47 year old still sleeps with hers!

BitterTits · 20/11/2021 21:14

Just ridiculous. Of course he isn't too old.

IAAP · 20/11/2021 21:15

My nearly 8 year old has about 50 on his bed and will
Continue to do so

Tell her to fuck off

My DD2's best friend (boy) got a gigantic teddy last Christmas - I know this because she was jealous of it Grin. He's 11 and he's cool (not that that matters but ykwim).

Kite22 · 20/11/2021 21:15

My 25 yr old still has some of his

My 17 year old nephew still has his teddy propped up next to his bed, he is now over 6ft tall sport daft lad. Even DH knows where his teddy is.

ApolloandDaphne · 20/11/2021 21:19

My 29yo DD still sleeps with 'fluffy' (and her DP!).

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/11/2021 21:19

DS is 13. He is very loyal to his soft toys. He’s never had a teddy teddy, but several other soft toys, and of which his owl still sleeps on his bed with him.

mummagirl · 20/11/2021 21:20

My 23 years old sleeps with his. Or rather bits of material that are the remnants of the Teddy bear he has had all his life

Crunched · 20/11/2021 21:21

DS (23) still has Fred Bear sat on his desk.

SpinsForGin · 20/11/2021 21:21

Some nights I struggle to find my 7 year old DS in his bed because of all his teddies!

521Jeanie · 20/11/2021 21:22

My 16 year old still sleeps with her teddy

Theunamedcat · 20/11/2021 21:22

Literally just bought my 12 year old boy a Teddy at haloween

yourlegmyleg · 20/11/2021 21:23

ElephantOfRisk · 20/11/2021 21:24

I just bought my 21 and 20 year old DSs new ones for Christmas! Ds took his stuffed kitten to Uni with him.
