I hope you can learn to accept this, but sorry, I think I might seek mental health treatment for him. Just my opinion, don't mean to offend anyone.

Most people don't share this fetish with loved ones unless its a partner who accepts it. Your son needs to accept this is you /your wifes house and you don't appreciate baby furniture being set up and you also don't want him to do this around the family. How on earth is he going to sit n a highchair?
For example if your son likes snakes or guns but another family member isn't comfortable ...then he shouldn't buy guns/snakes. If you and your wife are into being swinging - you're not about to bring the couples into your house. If he wants to wear diapers in private, then fine but he needs to do it in private minus the furniture. No I don't think you're old fashioned - this doesn't fall under that category lol.

Thank you to both of you for the replies.
I do know that this is wrong on so many levels in our home. I cannot understand why he wants to do it at home in front of us all in the first place. He doesn't want any of us to change him or dress him. He wants to be fed or allowed to sit in his highchair in our presence dressed as a baby. I know he needs help but getting others on side to help me convince may be more difficult...By the way he does fit this highchair apparently not that i myself have seen it but his brothers have.
Thanks again both of you advice greatly appreciated.
