How old is to old to carry a healthy child around in public?
Forums:
My ss is soon to be 9 in a month and insists on his dad carrying him half the time when we are in public. Is this normal? My own experience is from my 3 kids that are preteen and teens now and I didn't carry them at all after 2 or 3 years old.
Nope, not normal. But if dad
Nope, not normal. But if dad doesn't mind doing it,let it go.

Lol I asked my ss a year or so ago how long did he expect his dad to carry him around and he replied until I'm 18. He's such a lightweight and my h is such a big guy that he may get his wish. But I will not be in public with either of them.
I would think 5 is old
I would think 5 is old enough. Sounds like kid just wants to be babied, last ditch effort to steal attention away from step mom. Let a stranger mock or say something and I bet it stops.

Lol it's sad but true. My h is a big tall guy and ss just kind of hangs and swings on him. They look ridiculous.
