I (23F) still sleep with my baby blanket
I’m 23 years old, and I still sleep with the baby blanket that I got the day that I was born.
I quite literally have slept with it my entire life, it brings me comfort, I typically only have it on me when I am sleeping or I am upset/stressed. It’s not like I can’t sleep without it, it’s that I don’t want to. My parents never took it away from me when I was a child, and I never put it away either. My parents said I had an immediate attachment to it as a baby and i’ve had that attachment ever since.
I also have kept it in VERY good condition considering the fact that i’ve used it every night for 23 years. It’s clean, no holes, no tears, no stains, just well loved and a little worn out.
However now my parents bring up the fact that my future partner will probably find it weird that I’m an adult and my main source of comfort is my childhood blanket. It’s definitely not something that I share with the people in my life. My family obviously knows but other than that it’s basically a secret. I typically hide it from people and it’s not something i’ve brought up in past relationships cause I’m worried that it’s weird.
