[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like throwing away a favorite lovey.

I left my favorite lovey on the seat at a restaurant when I was 6 and my grandpa wouldn't let me go back inside to retrieve it (we were in the parking lot, so not far away). I cried myself to sleep for weeks missing that lovey. It still hurts a little. Nothing else from childhood effected me the way that did. It's the only thing i think of when people talk about my grandpa.[/quote]

I’m the mother to a DD with a lovey. That story made me so sad. I’m so sorry that happened to you. I would have ripped my father a new one if he was that grandfather. [/quote]

My god. I'm a mother of a 3 year old who doesn't have particular attachment to any one lovey, but has a few she adores. I can't imagine EVER doing that to her -- or any child. I am so sorry that happened to you.

When my little sister was maybe 5, my mom accidentally left her favorite lovey on the roof of the car when she was getting her into her car seat and drove away. Couldn't ever find it. I gave her one of my animals, which she bonded with, but my parents felt so horrible that they actually wrote a letter from Santa, saying that her lovey ended up with a little girl elf who needed a friend. It actually worked really well with my sister. But their effort goes to show how much losing a lovey can impact a child. [/quote]

Different Pp, but that elf note is so sweet. I don’t understand how adults can just crush an innocent child’s spirit. It doesn’t take too much effort to show loce and encouragement when mistakes happen! That’s the teaching moment. I’m sure your sister is deeply appreciative now that she is older. And it was just as kind for you to give one of your dolls. Sounds like a family with love and warmth in it.[/quote]
