I had totally forgotten about my attempt to run away. My parents were on the verge of divorcing and I thought I’d i ran away they’d hve to stop fighting. I was up and out the house by 8am one Sunday morning. I went to the local park, played on the swings for ages, even attended a service at the local church for a seat then decided to go home to see if anyone had missed me. No one had even woken up.

My son, aged 4, when I was having some silly argument with his slightly older sisters about favouring one or other of them, blurted out that he had run away twice yesterday and I didn't even notice!

He was right, I didn't!

When I was 10, my friend and I made extensive plans to cut up my mother's silver lame ball gown to make bikinis and swim the Atlantic to be with Elvis (Presley) haha!

My 10 year old packed a bag and said he was running away. I was really impressed he packed his ventolin and a torch

My friend ran away once, the light hearted version is that I went along with her to the park en route to the hills and sat on the swings eating raw carrots with her (she’d bought a huge bag to see her through)
Eventually she realised we’d eaten them all so cried and came home to my house, mum rang her mum and she stayed with us on and off for the next 6 months or so until I changed schools and lost touch for a few years.

The sad version is that her dad and his friends ... yes ...
Why didn’t she tell me ☹️

DD decided to run away when she was 5. And she was taking her little brother too 'because I don't want to leave him here with you meanie'. She dutifully packed a bag for the 2 of them which had about 4 T-shirts and 2 pairs of socks, a cbeebies magazine and some bread sticks. DS (3) made sure she packed some trains and his beloved snowy dog. They walked out and got all the way to the green in front of our house, sat down and ate their bread sticks, DS played trains and DD read her magazine. About half an hour later they came back in because a black cat 'with eyes that are straight lines' was watching them apparently. DD said it was definitely evil and they'd come back if I said I was sorry for putting the paints away.

I ran away at 12, in the days before mobile phones, and managed to convince my friend we should run away to bognor Regis. We got the train from Victoria and stayed there all day. Got home and mum wasn't even remotely concerned I'd been missing all day. Turns out my total grass bag of a mate had told her mum where we were going, who then called my mum to warn her. Bet they were having a right chuckle about it....

So, still a Mum of 2 this evening?

Bless. Bloody hormones are horrible around her age —and the next 50–. Hopefully she’ll be feeling better tomorrow after 2 nights sleep.
