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

If your parents never gave you a pacifier, even at 2 months of age, you probably sucked your thumb or something else. I have never heard of a baby that calmed themselves without a pacifier or something to suck on.

When I was a baby I refused a pacifier. My mom talks about wanting me to take one when I cried, but I just wouldn't. I also never sucked my thumb, or anything of the like.

none of my kids had pacifiers.. they are actually really bad for their teeth. And they never needed anything to suck on to comfort themselves.

They're really only bad for their teeth after their mouths are too big for them, because then they're sucking at the front of their mouths only. Thumbsucking is actually better for that reason, because the thumb grows with the mouth.

I was never allowed a pacifier. I never sucked my thumb either. They're really bad for your teeth, as another person said. I'd never let my kids have one.

Yea, I refused the pacifier when I was a baby too. Had a problem weaning off the bottle though, so my dad put Thai chilli sauce on the teat. Never touched it since, hah.

my son never had one either, or sucked his thumb, all children are unique, and not all of them need something to pacify them.

my son didn't take a pacifier...he didn't really want anything else to keep him occupied either. He only sucked on his fingers when he was hungry

Actually, it would be a lot more difficult at 20, because now there's truly a psychological attachment. If OP didn't want him doing it, she definately should have taken care of it a very long time ago. At this point, it's really none her business and he won't be stopping.

better sucking on a pacifier than sucking on a huge throbbing ****.

actually 20, this would most likely be crappy parenting over genetics.

20 is a bit too old for that. I've heard of 6-7 year olds who still sleep with them, but if he hasn't been weaned off it by now, I'm guessing it's turned into a full blown habit, such as people who won't stop sucking their thumbs, nail biting, or at his age, I think cigarettes would be a bit more appropriate (not that I'm encouraging it).

Agreed. At this point he has a true emotional and psychological attachment to the pacifier. Stopping would be as difficult as quitting smoking, because the same kind of relief comes to him that comes for smokers. However, it's really a fairly harmless attachment, so it doesn't really matter. It's a little weird, but eh. People have quirks.

i actually feel really bad for him, i cant help but think that maybe he has a mild sort of mental disorder, maybe it makes him easily attached to something. ive heard of it before

It's not a mental disorder in sense of autism or something, if the OP had patented him right there's no way it could have gotten to this point.

Wow, he really wants to get that lead role in the sequal to that awful movie 'The Pacifier'. I didn't have the heart to tell him there was no such movie.
