Today, I tried to rid my son of his pacifier. He still uses it to sleep. My son is 20 years old. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, it was my brother's wedding so my mother-in-law was taking care of my 8-month-old son. When I came back to our room to check how things were going, I saw her "breastfeeding" my child. She said it was the only way to calm him down because he didn't have a pacifier. FML

Today, I was lying beside my 5-year-old son to help him get to sleep. He turned his head and asked, "Daddy, why do you suck so much?" FML

Today, my son turned 18. He now calls me by my first name instead of "dad" and refuses to stop. FML

Today, I finally convinced my son to use the potty. Later, he saw a show on TV about a toilet monster. Now he's too scared to even step foot into the bathroom. Here's to another few months of diaper changes. FML

Today, my baby son latched onto my nipple for a feed, after a month of having to be bottle fed because he wouldn't latch. This would be fantastic, if it weren't for the fact that I'm his father, not his mother. FML

Kinda weird
Today, my son is incapable of sleeping alone because my husband keeps co-sleeping with him, stating, "He's going to be a kid for only a little while." The same guy who forced me to stop co-sleeping with the same kid because, "Kids need to be independent." The hypocrisy. FML

There are worse things for your son to be sucking on before he sleeps.

YDI. Big time. You should have done that by the time he was 2.

Man the guy is 20 let him make his own decisions, if he wants to have a really weird quirk like that then let him do it lols he is the one looking weird. Don't let your child's failure get to you 20 years old is still young enough to turn everything around!

Is your son a kandi kid? If so, epic fail.

So you decided at age 20 "enough is enough!" You didn't think it was odd at 19? 18? 17?

And by "pacifier", you mean...?

My mom would only let me use a pacifier in the house (she thought it looked ugly in public) and one day when I was maybe one and a half or two, I dropped it in my diaper. My mom said, "oh well, now it's dirty, goodbye pacifier!" At that age I believed there was only one pacifier, and that I'd just messed it up, and that was the end of it! As a previous commenter said, it's easy to take things away from little kids. At this point you're (and moreover, he's) just out of luck. A friend (32 years old) still sleeps with her childhood doll, but I think things like a doll, teddy bear, or blanket are way different than a pacifier. That's just unfortunate.

Was I the only one that thought her kid might be mentally handicapped? That her 20 year old is stuck with a child's mind, and she's stuck taking care of him for life?
