Grown Up with a Teddy Bear

DRose
I am 35 and still sleep with my childhood teddy bear. I know that I am not alone in this. I find comfort sleeping with her. I post because some may feel embarrassed,  and others may see it as immature. I am fully comfortable with people knowing, and my husband doesn't mind one bit. He actually gets her for me if she falls on the floor or if I can't find her. 💜Who else won't be ashamed to share a picture of their stuffed friend? By the way, I've had mine for 33 years, which explains her condition 😀

This is mine! Girl continue to keep little child inside alive! My bear was a gift from my sister last year on my 25th birthday, I literally shed tears. No matter how old we may get, never let age wither what makes us hasn't.

Cutest teddy ever! My little sister makes fun of me for being married, pregnant, and still having stuffed animals all over my bed haha. My husband doesn't mind, a few of them are his ;)

This one was always my favourite 💛 I love teddies and soft toys and similar 😭 even planning on making some of my own. I don't think it's weird or anything, everyone has things from their childhood that they enjoy.

When I first moved in with my boyfriend I had actual anxiety about my "gaki" (blanket) it's a fleece blanket with sock monkeys on it that I've had for years and I like to snuggle it. The first few months I left it at my parents. Now it's on the bed and I snuggle it every night.

I don't think it's odd for a woman to have stuffed animals and to sleep with them. I think it's cute.

Wow this made me feel so much better about sleeping with my yeddy bear ive had since i was born. My husband says "when the babys born were putting that nasty thing in a memory box." it actually really gets to me lol

Nothing wrong with it... my fiance won't let me sleep with mines. He thinks it's weird cause it's looking at him. I like my animals, especially Stitch. 😊
