I sleep with a teddy bear. Is that bad?

[redqueen]

Is it just me? I don't think it's any weirder than a body pillow. It's just a smaller, cuter, cuddlier version.

[HopeHoops]

1. So does my wife.

Me.

[Brickbat]

2. I sometimes sleep with the bathroom light on if I'm home alone.

And if I lived alone, I would sleep with my teddy bear. I like having my arm over something.

[redqueen]

6. Yeah.

I live alone and use a nightlight. :blush:

[Captain Hilts]

25. The nightlight...

would drive my pillow crazy. It's 45 years old and has definite ideas about stuff like that.

[sarge43]

39. A night light is the only way to make the monster stay under the bed. n/t

[raccoon]

3. Depends...what's your relationship with the bear like? nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. My 34 year old sister still sleeps with her baby blanket.

Actually, it's only a "blanket" in very loose terms, literally. It's more like a bunch of shredded crocheted yarn kept together in a small pillow case.

[TZ]

5. Thats why I allow my cats on my bed

Warm fuzzy purring teddy bears...:)

[redqueen]

7. My cat sleeps cuddled up by legs.

Gets shoved around a lot or semi-crushed but she doesn't seem to care. Weirdo cat.

[fizzgig]

8. i slept with my teddy bear until i met my husband two years ago

and i still pull it out on the rare occasion. not weird at all.

[Captain Hilts]

24. So, your husband got your Teddy bear's seal of approval before you were married

I'm assuming?

[Rambis]

9. Does it have a gooners shirt on?

then yes!:evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

12. Ha!

Well played!

[khawkings09]

10. what you do mean by "sleeping with"?

[Skittles]

13. LOL.......khawkings09

:rofl:

[Redstone]

14. Skittles.

I'm back. At least for tonight.

And yes, you could still beat the shit out of me, but please don't.

Redstone

[Skittles]

17. SCHEDULING REDSTONE FOR ASS KICKING

FOR BEGGING :D

[BreweryYardRat]

11. Heck no.

I keep a few stuffed animals around, just to have something to hold when I'm depressed.

[azmouse]

15. I see no problem with it at all.

[Iggo]

16. I'm single. I sleep alone. I have two pillows.

It's just natural.

[UTUSN]

18. Is it washable?1 n/t

[applegrove]

19. I do too.

[bigwillq]

20. Nope

Not at all. I still sleep with my Snoopy. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

21. "Bear" the cat says no

[VenusRising]

22. I have resorted to sleeping on the couch since my husband died.

I just can't sleep in our bed without him. At least on the couch I feel like he's still up against me. :(

[tango-tee]

29. I'm so sorry...

and I can well imagine why you're unable to sleep in that bed. So many memories...

Please accept a big and loving :hug:

[VenusRising]

30. Thanks.

I am taking all the hugs I can get. They are invaluable to me right now. :hug:

[tango-tee]

35. And in that case, VenusRising,

here comes one more... You're right, there are times when the feeling of being held means so much. It's a lifeline. Believe me, I know :hug:

[VenusRising]

37. It is a lifeline.

And right now, in the real world, I am getting far too few hugs, so these are wonderful because I know the intent is there. :hug::hug:

[tango-tee]

38. We're here for you.

So many of us have experienced losses, so please don't hesitate. We know, and we'll keep you close.

Have you checked out the Bereavement Group?

Much love to you, dear Venus.

t-t

[zanana1]

32. Venus; I'm so sorry...

Here's hoping your husband's memory will keep you warm at night.

[VenusRising]

33. Thank you zanana1.

I have actually had a few good dreams about him. 2 in the past week. It helps me quite a lot.

[zanana1]

34. I'm so glad about that.

I'm sure those dreams will keep coming for as long as you need them. :hug:

[VenusRising]

36. I really hope so.

I've only really been having them since I got on my anxiety meds. They have helped tremendously! :hug:

[Captain Hilts]

23. No. It's fine. nt

[keroro gunsou]

26. i do too

but like radar o'reilly, i'm hoping to better one day...

[one_voice]

27. Nah..

it's not weird. I slept with my "bippy" for a while even after I got married. It was shaped like a small pillow.

Just like the blue one on the left...only mine was red.

[tango-tee]

28. My teddy bear was given to me on my first Christmas, when I was six months old.

And many more years later it was that same teddy bear who went with me to the hospital when I gave birth to my son.

Wishing you many more cuddly nights with your companion!

[AllenVanAllen]

31. I sleep with one too,

but it's no bear.

[Rambis]

40. The RVP body pillow?

Could be a good marketing ideaB-)

[Missy Vixen]

41. One of my girlfriends sleeps with a teddy bear

She's a corporate executive, and we've shared a room on business trips before. I have to smile when she opens the suitcase, pulls out the teddy bear, and sits him up against the pillows on her bed. ;-)
