Question for parents

Please tell me why you're ok with letting your school age child carry toys around as though they're still 2 yrs old? 🫩

Let your kids grow, man.

@LeGrotesque thank you👌

Example please. Nothing wrong with kids having toys with them. Like a 1st grader carrying a car around?

@LeGrotesque that's a bit old but school age can mean as young as 4 or 5 in most places. Extra context helps but perhaps they have a reason. Maybe they're gifting it to a friend?

@Turtlepower no it's hers from babyhood

@LeGrotesque Hell, there was an RAF fighter pilot who took his teddy bear in the plane with him every time he flew during The Battle of Britain. And re the kid you saw, perhaps he might even have some kind of emotional or developmental problem and need his toy. It's rewally none of your business.
Yep. If it gives them comfort amd entertainment, why not.

@0uijaFinger it gives them strange looks and possible bullying lol
@LeGrotesque From adults who make posts about it online, lol. 🙄
No. Maybe you need to resolve some childhood issues. Im so sorry you were bullied and unloved.

@LeGrotesque So stop looking at them strangely and bullying them.

Like what kind of toys? (That's not a perv question).
LeGrotesque · 46-50, F
@Turtlepower toddler toys, like plushies
Turtlepower · 36-40, M
@LeGrotesque I guess it depends as to why they're doing it at something like age 11.

If the ,kid is carrying the toys around what's the problem?
LeGrotesque · 46-50, F
@ChipmunkErnie I work with 20-somethings who still carry the toy around.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@LeGrotesque Gee, and you haven't bullied them into giving it up to conform to your ideals?

Not knowing the details but my autistic grandson always has a prop in he’s hand, it could be that type of thing, a comfort thing or a connection to home.
