... to think that this IndigoChild stuff is a load of nonsense?

[CasioBlues]

Have you come across this New Age idea?

My mum is convinced that DS is a rainbow child. He looks normal colour to me, in fact, he is most often various shades of brown as he likes to wriggle his way out of a bath as often as possible.

See, I am so woo I embarrass myself sometimes, but this is such a load of pretentious bollocks.

Anyone who says they have an indigo child tends to actually have a spoilt brat that beats up the other kids at soft play but can't be told off for it because he's too sensitive. My arse.

[RedandChecker]

The explanation of Indigo child isn't something I really agree with.

However, and this may out me, but hey ho.

When I was 2 I told my mother I had been here before. She was stunned. I went on to tell her about what I saw and felt when she was pregnant with me. I do not remember all what I said, but I do remember the things I saw and still have those images in my head today as an adult. I remember when she was only about 12 weeks pregnant, that she felt sad at a fairground with my grandparents as she couldn't go on the rides.

I remember being on the plane, on the way home from America. I remember one scan and the last thing I remember is being wrapped in a tight yellow blanket. She tells me what else I said, and saw but I don't remember those now.

My son is 4. He often says to me "Mummy, when we go through all of our numbers, we come back as babies don't we"

This has expanded more recenlty to "Mummy, when I'm a baby again, will you and daddy be my mummy and daddy again?."

I don't encourage or speak about this with him much, as I'm pretty lost for words and not sure of the right things to respond with. I just say "do we darling?" "I will always be your mummy" etc.

I am not a hippie or overly spiritual, but I cannot help but believe in the soul and the travels of the soul because I have very real memories of my mother being in early pregnancy, etc. So i don't even feel I have a choice but to believe that our souls travel, other than that I have no idea about all this stuff.

I've just read to the end of that article. "Care and feeding of your indigo child"

They're not farm animals FFS

[mrsjay]

they sound a bit like mogwais tbh if you dont feed and care for them they turn into little gremlins

[gordyslovesheep]

or a Tamagochi

[mrsjay]

tamagochi

[SaucyJack]

According to that list DD1 is most definitely an Indigo Child- or as we call them dahn on the estate "Spoilt Brats".

[MichaelFinnigan]

My poor DC are actually pretty well behaved, nice and polite. What a shame they're not as special as indigo children :(

[Floggingmolly]

You're telling me, mrsjay. If only he had a lesser sense of self worth we might be able to beat that into his head explain that to him

[Feminine]

My MIL thinks our son (15) is an indigo/rainbow child.

I was given a book about it too!

It was a little bit funny.

[whineaholic]

It's absolutely true!

They were known previously as Spoiltus Brattius but their parents thought Latin was so last year they rebranded.

[HumphreyCobbler]

that is sooooo funny
I knew about the concept but never read the definition before

[Feminine]

Although, I don't believe any of it, apart from not listening to me...

DS does display all the characteristics talked about.

[Floggingmolly]

They're not all spoilt. Some kids just have a greater talent than others for being little shites boundary pushing chancers . My other two kids are delightful, honestly

[Feminine]

He is not at all bratty.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

Bolleaux pure and simple.
burren love the Dorothy Parker reference there.

[Bathsheba]

Its hysterical - I have a couple of books on it (as a joke..)

My middle one is definately SOMETHING but we just think of her as alien....

[Caitlyn2014]

I was given the book or one very similair when my son was diagnosed as being on the spectrum. It was given to me by a friend who was being very kind. Daft, but kind.

[TiggyCBE]

I suppose some people would rather call their children 'indigo children' than 'brats'.

Crazy.

[BuzzardBird]

Oh god, 1966 makes me a 'crimpolene' child doesn't it? Lumpy in all the wrong places and goes off like a firework next to polyester!

[TiggyCBE]

I'm 1973 vintage. I'm a corduroy child.

[WilsonFrickett]

Lucky you Tiggy. I'm 1971 - brown nylon

[BertieBotts]

1988. Neon polyester

[Xenadog]

Sounds like spoilt brat syndrome to me!

I really like this bit: •Independent and proud, even if they’re constantly asking you for money


Ha ha ha!
