My twins turned 7 and the consequences were immediate: they are no longer allowed to bring stuffed animals to their father's house

If I can't bring my stuffed animal ... I don't want to go.

When push comes to shove..

You want your son to be..........
He also wants his son to be.......
Given the circumstances, please allow the Dad to be the dad. It comes with the package.

I'm really sorry to read this. I hope you take it to the mat.

Oh, FFS. The Boy is ten, and one of the few things he takes with him from Mom to Dad is the currently-beloved plushie. Also, whatever book he's reading at the moment. These are the things that make a home, far more than clothing or toothbrushes.

Wow. Evidence that some people are short-sighted by their desire to clone themselves.

My son is 16, and a man's man to be. The other day we played a game in the car on the way home. The prompt: If you knew our house was going to burn down, and all of our family and pets were already outside and safe, what is one thing you would want to get from the house?

His quick answer: Blankie and Mow-Mow. (The special blanket and stuffed cat from his childhood.)

It took him a while to come up with anything else.

Do they have different stuffed animals at their dad's place? Or nothing?

[moschus]

Nothing.

Maybe he wants them to read Science encyclopaedias and others. These things just happen.
