My 10y old has never had a fizzy drink in his entire life.

We did not accept any gifts or money from our wedding guests. In fact, we paid them to attend.

Me too Bolton - wish I could meet all of 'us' in person

I would never sit out in my front garden because I am categorically not "council".

I wear a mooncup all the time even when I don't need to because, well, it's a mooncup , man, and they are the best thing EVER.

I will dress my son in vulgar looking khaki Clarkes shoes until he is 25 and will never even consider giving him adidas trainers three pairs

I breastfed my 6 children until they left for university at 16 (would have been earlier but I didn't want to wean too early)

We decided not to have a wedding, only a civil ceremony, just the two of us.

We gave the money we would have spent on our wedding to one of our friends who can't afford private education. She does struggle, poor thing.

I don't allow anyone into my house, ever. We renovated our house and all the builders had to work with blindfolds on because it is a huge breach of my personal space for anyone to see my home with their eyes. Any skilled builder should be able to do this, and should respect your decision.

Last month we flew first class to Benidorm, and overheard a lady complaining that she couldn't sit next to her two-year-old and didn't have the fifteen quid to book seats.

DS and DD (11 and 8) immediately let the woman and child have their first class seats, and volunteered to travel in the hold.

That sounds lovely Dead, we don't have poor friends though - I had to cut them all out in case they were ever offended at being asked to split a bill or needed to borrow money, imagine being asked that, and then having to say no!

My toddler appreciates a good hummus.

Our front garden is quite pleasant to sit out in. I like to watch the children play on the croquet lawn, and I can keep an eye on the grouse moor in case we get trespassers. At the back it's a bit too formal, iykwim, with all those old statues staring back at me.

I dress my children in exclusively gender neutral clothes and so far I have not made dd (5) aware of the concept of 'pink'

DS was on the internet and a porn site pop up opened. He was so disgusted he threw the computer out of the window.

I learnt mandarin while I was in maternity leave so that I could give my DC a head start in life. We only speak mandarin at home except for two weeks a year when, instead of going on holiday (carbon footprint) we dress up as a different nationality and live like them. Last summer we were Tuscan merchants from the Renaissance. This year I am going to polish up my Ancient Greek and we will be holding Socratic debates all through August.

jobrum we did blw so my children taught themselves to eat by making Hummus

badlad you let your dc look at screens? Mine is only allowed 20 minutes of cbeebies radio or half an hour of radio 3 a day.

That sounds fun. PM me if you're anywhere near Bucks and you'd like to use our little outdoor Victorian mock Grecian outdoor theatre. It's so lovely to meet like minded people on here.

newstickers I just laughed and woke up dd!

Well, when I said"using the internet", I meant "having his advanced Sanskrit lesson" but I didn't want to boast.

He gets a leapsecond of screen time, every four years.

My dc speak 3 languages and only eat organic veg that we have grown in our own garden

I went nc with pil after they sent our dc Easter eggs when they know my dc don't eat chocolate luckily my dc didn't know what it was. I didn't like that pil were deliberately trying to rot my dc's teeth and minds they are quite clearly toxic and don't respect boundaries

My husband and I got into an argument about the above chocolate issue he felt it was 'only a bit of chocolate' and wouldn't do any harm so I LTB as he wasn't on side.

Has anyone got any good skincare recommendations for over 40 skin? I looked at mine under an electron microscope the other day and there were a few faint wrinkles starting. I already wear factor 50 2mm thick and sunglasses all year round.

My children don't know what screens are. In fact, we were in Waitrose the other day and they saw a CCTV monitor and were quite confused. I had to explain what it was as they were becoming quite distressed. I complained to the store manager.

Last weekend my husband had a lie in til 8.30 while I was left to collect the eggs from our pastured ducks as well as prepare a continental breakfast from scratch.

I put the children on his sleeping face and went to a spa for the weekend.

I jog the 5 mile school run with DD every day, come rain, wind or shine. DS cycles the 15 miles to and from school and despairs of his peers eating sausage sandwiches at morning break.

They have never heard of 'television'.

dead have you tried breastmilk?
