    Murdocs_Mistress. I broke up with a guy over my kid's blankie. It has turned into a joke between me, my kid and our friends. Blankie is my kid's lovey. I have always stressed that sharing was 100% up to her and she wasn't obligated to share things just because another adult told her she had to. And blankie was completely off limits. She was a good kid and generally shared everything except for blankie and maybe something new she got for a birthday or holiday.

    Kiddo was prob 5 when this happened. I'd been seeing dude for about 6 months and we decided to meet up at a park so the kids could meet and play together. Basically just a playdate type thing. Kiddo had blankie and she wore it like a scarf while she played. Dude had two kids, a girl (age 7) & a boy (age 9). The girl wanted blankie and my kid said no. I told her that blankie was off limits and even told dude that the blankie was her lovey and it was the one thing she never had to share.

    Dude snatched it off of her and told her she needed to learn to share. Hands it to his kid. Looks at me while he does this as if to dare me to challenge him. I snatched the blankie back "Blankie doesn't get shared" and handed it back to mine. Dude said she needed to learn to share and we needed to be on the same page and I needed to take blankie and give it back to his daughter so she could have a turn. I just laughed, packed our stuff up and left. I ghosted him completely and blocked him everyw

    The best part was him not getting the hint and trying to contact me by any means necessary for the better part of a month. He'd made new accounts to get around blocks so he could message me and lecture me over my "tantrum" and that I was only mad because he called me out about my bad parenting. Dude was delulu.

    Obv I broke up with dude because he disrespected mine and kiddo's boundaries but it sounds funnier when you say "broke up with a guy over blankie" LOL. ETA - she's now 20 and still has blankie. i found another on eBay (hers is see thru now) and she wears them both like a scarf when she's mucking about the house LOL. 425 Reply Share
