Just a bit of fun here 😝 but can you give your DH a piggyback? Tried and failed here

God, no. He’s a lot bigger than me.

Fizbosshoes · 21/03/2025 16:19

No. He weighs at least 50% more than me. I can piggy back DS (15) he's 6" taller than me but skinny!

RedToothBrush · 21/03/2025 16:20

Hahahaha hahahaha!

No.

deeahgwitch · 21/03/2025 16:21

No and I wouldn’t even try - I would be flattened. 😂

FreshOutOfFucks · 21/03/2025 16:21

Not a chance. My eyes are level with his nipples!

PurpleChrayn · 21/03/2025 16:22

Yes! I’m enormous and he’s a skinny fellow. We’re like Jack Spratt and his wife.

User415373 · 21/03/2025 16:22

No way! I'm 5ft 1 and he's 6ft and heavy! My friend (taller than me but v slim) tried to on a night out, my dp went head first onto the pavement and ended up with 2 black eyes and a broken nose!

Redfred00 · 21/03/2025 16:23

No. He's 120kg.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 21/03/2025 16:24

No, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to. He is only fractionally taller than me and probably weighs a similar amount to me, but that doesn't really help tbh. I don't think I'm strong enough to piggyback someone my/his size without doing my back in!

AppleCelebration · 21/03/2025 16:25

Hmmm maybe , I do a lot of weights 🤣

garlictwist · 21/03/2025 16:34

No way. I am 8 stone and he is about 16, so literally twice my weight.

Junn · 21/03/2025 16:47

Yep, just did it to check 😂

ComfortingSounds · 21/03/2025 16:49

I might have been able to at the height of my working out days. I could do 50 push ups in a row.

I wouldn't try though. I once tried to pick up a previous partner years ago to show off. I ended up wrenching something in my back. I both felt and heard it go 🤢

stolenlullabies · 21/03/2025 16:50

Yes I tried it a while ago, but it was only for about 2 seconds.

TheChosenTwo · 21/03/2025 16:51

Not a chance if I didn’t want my knees buckling!
He’s a hefty guy 😂 I can pick him up but I definitely couldn’t piggy back him.

Caravaggiouch · 21/03/2025 16:51

No but he’s 6’5”. Tbh I doubt he could give me a piggyback either.

CakeBeautifulCake · 21/03/2025 16:53

Yes! We're a similar height and he's probably a stone heavier but I can still do it. Have you seen the fireman lift video that's been on Facebook? I think you lie beside them and there's a technique to flip them over your shoulder or something... As soon as I find it again, that's going to be the next thing I tell him I want to try!

tealandteal · 21/03/2025 16:55

I didn’t realise other people did stuff like this as well! Yes I can give DH a piggyback and make it up one flight of stairs. I am 5ft6 and he is 6ft6. I’m not sure exactly what he weighs.

HeChokedOnAChorizo · 21/03/2025 16:56

In theory yes, he’s only a bit taller than me and very lean and slim, I am quite strong but I had major back surgery last year so I wouldnt risk damaging my back again. But I’m pretty sure I could.

MiddleAgedDread · 21/03/2025 16:56

We’re similar height and he weighs a couple of kg less than me but i suspect not and not willing to risk trying it!

CoffeeGood · 21/03/2025 16:58

Absolutely! He's much taller but only about 8kg heavier than me and I'm a strong lass.😂

hereismydog · 21/03/2025 16:59

I’m 5’0 but solidly built and very strong (no idea how much I weigh because I don’t weigh myself anymore!), DP is 5’8 and I would guess about 16 stone and I can indeed give him a piggyback Grin

cait967 · 21/03/2025 17:01

He’s a foot and a half taller than me. No chance

SnowflakeSmasher86 · 21/03/2025 17:01

Mine is skinny as a rake so I’m sure I could lift him and I have ‘child bearing hips’ with lots of cushioning so it would be a comfy ride, but he’s also a foot taller than me so his feet would probably drag on the ground Grin

AthenaPallas · 21/03/2025 17:04

He's 6'6", I'm 5'3".... just thinking about it is hilarious.
