My 8 year old niece still has her vacita (little cow plush) 
I find it so cute and if it’s sentimental to her - leave her be - it’s literally not harming anyone. When she’s older she can pass it down to her children

I have a 12 year old daughter that still walks around with a stuffed bear. I don’t say anything about it because it makes her feel safe. People really need to stop judging kids. They are kids, let them be kids.

My daughter had a baby doll “Baby” that she was like this with, and last year when she was seven, she just decided one day that she was done with her, and now Baby sits in the window sill of the room. I was sad about it, lol. But my daughter was just ready to move on. Yours will do the same when she is ready!! But I know if Baby ever went missing she would be extremely upset, amd probably cry, cause she still likes the comfort of Baby being in her room.

I slept with my stuffy, Carmel, and a blankie (a brown silk pillowcase) until I was about 10. Then the stuffy stopped being in my bed, and instead sat nearby, guarding me until I was 16. I’m 27 and I still sleep with a pillowcase as a blankie, but not the same one, as my mom thought it was time I “grew up” and threw it away. I still have Carmel, and he has moved back to being in my bed at night.
Her having bun bun harms nothing. It probably helps her feel safe. It was her first friend. Your sister needs to back off a bit. Having a sister, or any relative for that matter, that’s so judgmental and paranoid about other peoples’ opinions is embarrassing.
Kids will grow up and figure out themselves with time, until then, let her be a kid. 6 is way too young for her give a damn about looking grown up.
I had a rabbit I took everywhere!!! The older I got I only had it at night time, until I was 24 years old then I put it in the casket with my grandpa. Let her be a kid!

Heck, my daughter is 17, I still buy her stuffies (what she calls stuffed animals) it is a comfort for her, and makes her feel better. I would never take them away from her. It isn’t causing any harm to her growth or abilities in anyway. Just let your child be a child. Tell sister to mind her own. You are her parent.

My daughter is 13 and needs her bunny every day. Bunny even goes to school and everyone is fine with it and understanding. My 10 year old son has his squishmallow candy corn named cannon who he takes everywhere but school.
I don’t see anything wrong with her having a stuffie. It’s her decision on whether or not she carries it with her, not your sisters. And if your sister takes it away because she thinks it’s “embarrassing”, then she’s a piece of shit.
Absolutely not. My son has a favorite blanket he just turned 9 takes it everywhere and my other son 5 years old has one too and takes it everywhere I mean everywhere but school. Please dont take it away from her.

Leave Bun Bun be. Your little girl is 6 not 60! Tell your sister you appreciate her suggestions but she should rather reserve them for her children and you will see to yours. Does she even realise the emotional damage she would cause if she took Bun Bun away from your daughter when she’s staying over!?

It’s so sad that people now a days want to just make sure kids have no safe spot or comfort items. Why is it so bad that a 6 year old finds comfort in a teddy or a 3 year old has a binkie or a 9 year old still sleeps close to their parents?? There’s so many bigger issues in the world right now. This world is not what it once was and I’m sure for little kids it is extremely scary. Let kids be kids and for god sakes stop bullying them for finding something that makes them feel safe. Your daughter is absolutely not too old, it’s actually great to hear that you are not like your sister and actually allow your child to express herself and do what works for her.

She will eventually out grow him! My 17yr old daughter still has her “big Pooh” Winnie the Pooh teddy on her bed. He went everywhere! My 16yr old son still has his “blankie” in a box in his room. It only left his bed a few years ago. Eventually these things stop going everywhere with them and then they get left at home. I don’t see the point in removing something that’s a comfort or a loved toy! Xx

Sorry but your sister sounds like a mean bitch who expects kids to grow up way to quick and I pity her kids. Tell her to mind her business and if she touches Bun bun I’d punch her in the nose 
You are doing the right thing and letting her be a 6yr old good on you. Keep up the awesome job
Oh shes one of those… does she even have her own children? Usually the type of person to know everything about parenting has no experience at all 
I had a teddy that I had since I was born, it went EVERYWHERE with me… I still have it now and it sits at the top of my bed and I’m now 33

My baby is 13 yrs old with a huge stuff caterpillar she doesn’t take her anywhere but where ever she sleeps, Callie as we call it, is there with her. One day I mentioned it’s time to let her go, she let me know it’s her comfort zone, so please don’t listen to your sister. Your little one knows this is her bestie, I promise one day she will put her down but until then let her have the bun bun

I am 48 and although I don’t carry mine around anymore… I still have my childhood favorites. They are well loved and my grandson now gives them love. In more recent experience with my nephew it was a pikachu pillow. He decided when it was time to put him away for safe keeping. I say let them have the comfort.

My sin is 21 and still has his first stuffed dinosaur, my daughter is almost 18 and still has her first horse stuffed animal. She will outgrow it when she’s ready, I would just limit her to it not leaving the house unless she’s going for a sleepover. My niece is 9 and still brings her stuffed animal when she spends the night some kids just soothe differently.
Let kids be kids enjoy their childhood. People seem to want them to be born with a brief case and a job.

Too old for her stuff animal? No, not at all! It comforts her, and is totally normal. And shame on your sister! How dare she say she’ll take it away if she stays at her house. She’s NOT her parent so she has no right to do such thing. I would of ripped her head off. Makes me so angry. I bet she doesn’t have any children of her own. Let her keep it, for as long as she likes to. When i was a little girl I had a pink teddy Bear I took everywhere, kept it until I moved out at 19. Little keepsake from my childhood… my son is 11 now. His comfort thing was a small duck blanket, had it since birth, and the blanket went everywhere. He still has the blanket, but he’s not attached to it anymore. Just hangs on his bed. She’ll grow out of it on her own.
My son is 7 and has a “fluffy butt” stuffed penguin that goes everywhere with him. I see nothing wrong with them having a comfort. For as long as they want. I still have my blanket with holes in it more of a rag at this point.
6 9 1 tell your sister to do one.
My son is almost 3 and has a pink monkey. I’ll be damned if I’m taking it away for one reason or another. It’s just a stuffed animal. Please don’t take it from her.

No, don’t take her friend away!!!
Get your sister a Bun Bun. Tell her you want to take her car/computer/phone/family heirloom/sentimental object/husband/child/whatever she values away because she’s too attached to it. 
Honestly, does she have kids? Was she expected to grow up too fast in some respect? Ask her how long she believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or that life was fair. We rob kids of their childhood innocence too early already. The fact that she makes it through school without shows she can cope with life. Heck, I feel lost without my big purse.
Maybe let your daughter visit your sister & take Bun Bun with you. See how sister feels after an hour of inconsolable wailing.

Its her comfort item mama, dont feel bad about keeping your daughters feelings in mind instead of a status quo. Next time your sister says anything tell her by her logic being attached to an inanimate object and taking it everywhere is so bad tell her to give up her phone cause Im sure she takes it just as many places as your daughter does her stuffy.
My son is 8 and still sleeps with his blanket. It goes on every vacation and road trip. He carries it happily. And I smile as he does! Let them have what makes them happy. It’s not hurting your sister so maybe she would keep her words to herself.

Your sister needs to mind her own business. Your daughter. Your rules. You know what is best for her. So what if she takes “bun buns” out and about with you. Who cares. They’re not little for long so make the most of it all. And, if your sister keeps making comments, kindly remind her that it’s not her daughter, she is yours and what you say goes… If she finds it so “embarrassing” then she doesn’t have to go out with and your daughter does she?.. 
Go and enjoy being with your little girl and bun buns, make memories, enjoy it all because one day she will an adult and leaving home…

My lad is 9 next week. He has a little dog (very old and much loved) that he’s had since a baby. His name is Jockey. He goes everywhere with him (except school) we misplaced him earlier in the year whilst on holiday and he properly broke down. It’s irreplaceable! Fortunately someone handed him in to the security office, and the look of relief on my sons face was pure. Don’t ever let anyone dictate how your children deal with attachment. They will grow out of it in their own time xx
