[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can’t stop infantilizing their kids, it’s no wonder there are so many preteens who sleep with stuffed animals and can’t stay dry through the night. Do you still give him help taking a bath?[/quote]

I don't know why you associate stuffed animals with anything except comfort and memories. Maybe someone hurt you as a kid and made you grow up too fast? Both my parents had cabbage patch kids and stuffed animals, they were very successful mature adults. My wife and I do too, and we're extremely successful adults. There's no difference between having them and other sentimental stuff adults keep.

OP keep them in a closet a bit in case your kid changes their mind. Then if you donate, keep some of the favorites like many others have said. It doesn't take up much space and it'll bring back great memories someday if he's sick or he has kids. [/quote]

+1 I took a few stuffed animals with me to college and kept them through grad school and my first adult apartments/jobs. Actually added a couple that SOs got me as gifts. Now I'm a married mom of 2 and a professional. I'm not sure what negative impact the stuffies had?[/quote]
