Would you take all the books? Dh thinks I'm mean

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

I would be furious if someone treated a book like that, favourite or not.

I would say not only no books for a week (possibly longer), but they'd be lucky if I spoke to them in that week! I really do not cope with books being abused.

When they were trusted with books again, it would be board books only with no pop-ups or flaps, until they proved themselves. Maybe by leaving home and buying pop-up books themselves as an adult.

I don't think you're being mean. It's about treating things with respect and looking after things properly.
