DH pretended to shoot my LO just by making a gun from his hand the other day and that bothered me! I said, "Do not shoot my baby!" Lol. But like you said DH is a boy and he grew up doing things like that.... and he turned out ok! I do think it's normal and I get it, I've just always been overly sensitive to violence so things like that will always bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toy-gunsweapons#post-289219 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:31:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 289219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>water guns are no big deal IMO.</p> <p>I never liked the idea of more realistic types of guns for DS but DH is adamant that we shouldn't ban him from toy guns; firstly because he's a boy and every boy (and I do know this to be true from my brothers) will fashion a gun from ANYTHING they can find; legos, banana, barbies (no joke). Secondly- my DH said he had a ton of fun playing "guns" as a boy. I said, fine, but we'll teach him not to shoot people. And DH whined again! He said that was "the best part" and he and his brothers always shot each other.<br /> *sighs*<br /> I have a feeling I will not win this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toy-gunsweapons#post-289194 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:18:34 +0000 looch 289194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that we have with a trigger would be our bubble blowers, so I am okay with them in that configuration. I am still not sure about the bigger water guns, because I am uncomfortable with kids taking aim at each other, no matter what they are using, even hoses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toy-gunsweapons#post-289189 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:17:00 +0000 blackbird 289189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought most 'realistic' toy guns were now illegal/banned? I don't think water guns are a big deal, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-toy-gunsweapons#post-289179 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:15:05 +0000 heffalump 289179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to a birthday party and favors were beach toys, which included a water gun. The mom asked if it was ok because it's a toy gun before giving us the favor. I said yes, I'm ok with toy guns, just not real guns. Although I'm not so sure if I am ok with realistic looking toy guns..... </p>
