Embarrassing Security Blankets

I broke something precious to my. two-year-old son and now we're dealing. with the consequences let's talk about. that time for me atop good mythical. morning today's episode is brought to. you by the red link community go to. Rhett link common click on the breeze. and then you will enter into a.

fantastical world with other mythical. beasts that you can get to know you. could chat with them you know just set. some some logical boundaries before you. go in there I mean that's my disclaimer. they'll take things too far don't get. out of control. don't pig the only thing they need to. take too far as a super note doing teen. mythical beasts yeah people we need to. move up the ranks make your super not. making a good showing right now the. hosts of the competition come on it's. fun we promise okay speaking of things. that were fun we promise something that.

wasn't very fun happened in my family. last night based on decisions that me. and my wife Kristy made and I just I. just want to tell you about it anybody. get personal here I'm about to get. personal here okay. my youngest child Lando yes if you don't. know we named him after the famed Star. Wars character Lando is now two and a. half and now he's our third child so. he's the baby you know he's our li we're.

not we don't have any plans to have any. more children you know what you're gonna. say we don't have any plans for him. he's just the baby he's just there for. our amusement. we don't have any expectations of the. people life if he doesn't want to go to. high school or college it's okay it's. like you know he'll just be the baby. right further you know when you've you. know you've got two kids maybe you're. done maybe you've wrapped up things in. that phase of your life I'm not but we. kind of know that we're done so at you. know you tend to hold on to the baby 'no.

severe youngest child I think is what. happens so all of our children have had. a pacifier oh you're one of those. families huh I've never called it a. binky so I'm not one of those fan. because those families call it a binky. you're one of those families that let. your kids have passive occurs yeah but. so are you do I am so we call it we call. it a passing not a binky a shame many of. you people who call it a binky what is. that it's a pacifier it's shameful. it's a pacifier or a Pasi okay so all of.

our kids were attached to it so at a. certain point you have to decide it's. time to break the dependence on the Pasi. now for the other kid why is that why do. we do that. I don't well here's what happens with. Lando he will he can't sleep without the. thing and then 5:00 a.m. I'm asleep in. my bed. because I love to sleep at 5:00 a.m. that's a great time to be totally asleep. it is perfect it's awesome what's not.

awesome is hearing come from the other. room over there yeah see how is it in. the bed with him it's in the bed with. him but he can't find it but he can't. find it because he won't open his eyes. he's asleep well that's that's your. problem. purse if I were less what he calls it he. cause it to pacify work so you just go. to him and find it in his mouth and so I. get up at 5:00 a.m. and I you know cuz. he's just he's just moaning new parts of. our positive power. so I go and Lincoln's in the same room.

sleep and I feel bad for him no you. should get Lincoln to do it you should. train your older kids to take give him a. quarter every time you know just as you. he's your son you have to do that's the. solution if you're that type of parent I. am Miss binky binky a binky parent so. yeah I go in there like a zombie and I. find the pass if I were and sometimes. it's way under the bed so I'm like. getting down on my hands and knees like. reaching under there trying to get the. thing so I've got I mean he owns like 18. of them put them all on the bedside I. put them off in his like he's sprinkled.

as you can't miss it anyway he's like. it's like sleeping it's like a ball pit. it's about fit but it's the high seas. binky's yeah don't do it so yeah I'll go. in there I'll just give him I'll put it. in his mouth immediately goes back to. sleep I go back to sleep do you put one. in your mouth no no I don't so I mean. I'm for the past two weeks I've woken up. every morning at 5:00 a.m. when we went. camping I woke up at 5:00 a.m. little pacify my man that's a fire war.

passive power that's if I were and so. that's what let it mean Christie to say. this has to stop the madness has to end. but you don't want him to be an adult. with a pacifier no for Lillian Lincoln. they were barely 2 when we broke them of. the pass if I were but land up because. he's a baby we let him hold on longer. he's over two and a half so we so we. finally do it but this is our technique. parents or our kids who remember this. you let us know in the comments what. works best for you but what we I don't. know I can't remember who told us but.

they said you know as a parent it's good. to empower your kids with decisions. within certain parameters if you can. allow them to make decisions those. within protective no you didn't. protective parameters that's good so for. the past what you can do is you can cut. it and then you can give it to them and. say okay here's your Pasi and then. they'll react to it and then you give. them the decision of do they work do. they continue to suck on the defective. pacifier or do they throw it away so. you're saying you just you cut the.

rubber part completely off or most of it. okay and then you give it to them like. there's nothing different and then let. them decide what they want to do with. that and with Lily it worked great. I can't ruin with Lincoln as much for. some reason I think it worked great. neither one over music passing now so we. decided to do this with Lando we cut the. thing and then we offered it to him now. I took a little video of what we what we. did and you can see the opening frame. here that we have cut the pacifier and.

that we are offering it to him and then. now we can just roll the video and see. how he reacts to having the decision. placed in his lap now look that's your. only Pasi you want it you want to sleep. with the Pasi it's broken do you want to. sleep with it do you want to throw it. away. okay no more Pasi for Lando okay you're. a big boy now. okay you can tell that he was still a.

little bit upset but you know he made. the decision we kept we kept coming back. to it hey what do you want to sleep with. the Pasi or what having Syd pass if I. were broke I'm not gonna sleep you. shouldn't have said where are the other. 17 pacifiers are they not broken well he. did go over to the drawer or to the. other hiding places to look for him and. we had taken all of those so yeah. there's it although the earth was Balkan. there's a stolen you know right yeah. he's he's have some critical thinking at. his age to link okay well I should have.

broken all of them they all broke I. didn't want him to sleep past 5:00 a.m. okay. so he did not take a nap he screamed. through his nap and he was really upset. but then finally when it was nighttime. he went to bed he was exhausted last. night 5:00 a.m. came and went I did not. wake up he slept all night didn't call. for the past because he was so exhausted. I don't know how it's gonna be tonight. he'll probably it'd probably be worse. but you know it's just hump you got to. get over yeah you got to do it I never. had a pass II but I thought it would be.

good for us to talk about our versions. of a security blanket that we did have. let us know in the comments what your. version of a security blanket is I. didn't have a blanket I had a stuffed. animal that was a rabbit and I called it. bunny rabbit it was about this big. animal I'm pretty it was small while I. was small my mom I'm sure still has it. somewhere mom dig that thing up I want I. wanna I want bunny I miss him but it was. like a Peter Rabbit kind of a doll in. one side of it I would hold one side of.

it against me and it had a yellow ribbon. and I would rub the ribbon and suck my. thumb that's cute and then when you look. at it now. it's like one side of it looks cool like. okay that's a bunny it looks a little. worn but then you turn around and look. at the other side oh gosh deformed. it's like that guy from Goonies our. supper Harvey Dent yeah it's like. totally different like the eye is right. here on the good side and then you turn. on the beds on the eyes like way back. here where I like smoosh it up against. my body for like six years to form the.

thing and I was attached to it almost. literally attached to it. now I didn't have I think I was an. exceptional child I didn't have anything. like this that I depended on we ever. used a pacifier never had any stuffed. animals not right never had one in. particular that I really cared about not. not even like a teddy bear. no snuggling definitely nothing that. I've held on until this day except for. that ladies and gentlemen now listen you. Linc knows this better than anybody.

Linc is the one who keeps things linked. is the one who keeps who kept this. gutless wonder script who probably you. do have that bunny somewhere at your how. long has it I don't keep anything but. for some reason I still have Teddy Teddy. the teddy bear that I was given in 1977. oh this bear was given to him gosh it. smells like a thrift store. yeah well this thing's been around for. oh it smells like a cow 35 years and.

like was set down next to me in my in my. 1 year I guess 1978 I feel like if I. squeezed it brown juice would come out. don't depend let gently man ginger this. thing is it's a it's a teddy bear that. has an apple on his bib and I kept this. thing and I remember one day in like. middle school the sound comes out again. but I see in my closet and saying you. know what I got to put this somewhere. because I'm gonna give it to my kids one. day if I see a and I and we do this.

was in the boys room I mean they still. got it in there they don't respect it. you know they don't he's just kind of I. went in there just a second ago to go. grab it to bring it out here and it's. just like under the bed face down I mean. look at it it's a sort of like Toy Story. you know it's a forgotten toy but he's. still here and I wouldn't say the squeak. comes out of his butt I didn't that. fascinate you it comes out from down. it's a fart that's a little squeaky fart. but I didn't I didn't take him do you. take bunny play I never took him.

anywhere oh yeah maybe that's why he's. still here I mean to my babysitter to. whatever I didn't have I never took him. with me but he was like I put in I. called him all my stuff down off my. friends and I would put him in my bed. with me maybe I didn't have good friends. maybe you weren't a good friend so I had. to get stuff. inanimate objects objects to be my. friends got an apple on us on his bib. there anyway so what is your security. blankie that you have held on to or. didn't hold on to ya you really should.

watch it it'll fall apart one time I put. I drew a face on it the back of his head. so one of them is fated here sided yeah. we almost hit the red one red confesses. items stolen from link uh listen I don't. know how to tell you this but you're not. little rabbit yeah that you used to have. as a kid you talk about where it's on my. bunny the one that one side was like.

cool and the other side was like oh my. goodness yeah I remember I got it I. graduated image of you sucking your. thumb. rubbing now I think my mom has it I mean. I haven't seen it in a while she had it. last time we went home for Christmas I. don't know what came over me but I snuck. into your parents house at night dressed. all in black I had a gun I don't know. what I was thinking I held up your mom. and your dad and I said where's bunny.

I took bunny put him in my pocket I said. don't tell anyone about this or I will. kill link then I took bunny and I put. him in a garbage disposal. I felt like it was another person had. just taken over my body I'm sorry this. is a good time to confess it now that. I've been forced to buy the mythical. wheel I really feel horrible about this. you can edit it I don't really care. about it.
