He Threw Away My Teddy..

[boxtops]

Just watching Bargain Hunt - the auctioneer's just told that he no longer has a teddy, his father threw away it away when the boy was seven. I find that really sad.... and not very kind.

That's mean !

[ummmm]

My son lost his favourite teddy (it was a monkey) when he was little. He never replaced it with one of his others so I got rid of them when we moved house.

He still remembers Monkey fondly though.

idiot father probably thought that at seven it was time to be a man

Blooming programme always reduces me to tears,
it is just sooooo bad!!!!

most toys get thrown away sooner or later but sometimes parents misjudge the timing. It's not necessarily a sign of evil parenthood.

[ummmm]

I don't remember having one besides a massive Orvil.

Child abuse ! Nasty dad.

If I recall, any cuddly toys I had just became fodder for the latest puppy we acquired as I grew up.

When I went through Commando training we had a Teddy in our hut. On completion of our training it was passed on to the next squad.

Viv 38 how nice that sounds and I know I am being childish and stupid but I was very attached to my teddy and do regret not still having him,stupid isn't it.

[vakayu]

I still have my Son's first Teddy. He'll be 34 next birthday. He sits in the chair next to my Son's old bed.
