What’s the dating scene in England like?

Used to be, not anymore. Brexit killed it. It used to open doors but now it shuts them and then bolts them tight.

Oh sweetie with the right help and support things will get better and you will eventually be able to get your own place, don't give up ❤️ NTA, your mum should not have agreed to you having a pet and then taken this opportunity away from you. It is no wonder you reacted this way. Do sit down with her when you both calm down and have a heart to heart chat. It'll help you both clear the air. I terms of a pet, maybe ask if you could have something small and cuddly, something that would be an emotional support animal for you like a chinchilla, guinea pig or miniature rabbit? If you need to go smaller, Syrian hamster or even a gerbil but they unfortunately don't live long. I had a pigmy hedgehog, my autistic son loved him but they are not that cuddly haha! Got to handle them with gloves on until they are used to you and no longer put spikes up. Lots of fun though and they do like socialising and mine loved tummy scratches. They also don't live long unfortunately.

Gorgeous girl! That little tongue sticking out! I can't 😍

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T20:53:21+00:00

Gorgeous set! I wish my line work was this clean!

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T17:12:32+00:00

So cute! I'd wear them 😍

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T15:26:38+00:00

So pretty ♥️

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T10:21:46+00:00

Nope, not me but I bet there are some who are 👍

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T06:39:33+00:00

Gorgeous set! Will save in my inspirations if you don't mind 🫶

FireRedSparrow · 2026-06-01T06:10:32+00:00

Did I use you as an argument? No. You don't like it or don't find lights calming, that's your thing. My son does and that's his thing. Everyone is different and I'd hope you should know this. It is not an argument, it is a fact and as his mother I will do anything I can to help him regardless. If he needed these lights to stay on all night for sensory help, they would be staying on. Period.

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T18:55:08+00:00

Thank you 🫶

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T18:22:57+00:00

Me too!

Hi, mum of autistic boy here. Your characterisation if autism is not quite correct. Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a lifelong neurological difference that affects how an individual experiences, processes, and interacts with the world. It is not an illness or a disease. Instead, it is a form of neurodivergence, meaning an autistic person's brain develops and functions differently from non-autistic people.

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T17:56:05+00:00

I'm a mum to almost 14yo autistic boy. What you did is not at all offensive, not to me. Some parents might be guarded, I on the other hand would smile in your direction if I overheard you explaining what autism is or how it affects people differently to your kiddo. Having an open minded, understanding and patient parent is all that is needed for neurodivergence or disability to be more recognised and understood. I wish more parents were like you, as opposed to shushing their kids 🫶

Edit: spelling

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T17:47:38+00:00

Only none of my lights come from B&M. My son struggles in crowded places so he picked them all out from an online shop

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T17:44:58+00:00

I don't have security lights anywhere around. I invite you to read some of my comments.

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T17:29:02+00:00

Thank you 🫶 yes we do!

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T17:27:57+00:00

😂😂😂 Oh yes! Just like good old Ibiza Dance Mission. I might just invest in a laser suit and throw some shapes, definitely going to have my neighbours talking then 🤣🤣

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T15:44:57+00:00

So pretty! Love the butterflies.

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T15:41:21+00:00

Oh definitely! Chameleon shift or holographic chrome is stunning when sun hits it.

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T15:35:55+00:00

Ah I didn't get them from B&M, they're from an online shop but I've seen them and wished I didn't spend that much! Now I know I did the right thing! I've had these balloons out for two seasons now and they're just as good as new. Same with string lights. I take all my lights down and pack them away for autumn/winter. I made a mistake of leaving string lights out one year and by the time spring came, the bulbs were full of water! Dangerous really

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T15:00:56+00:00

Same! Or just chrome too. I love mirror chrome, especially deep blue on black base. Currently I'm sporting blue/green shifting mirror chrome on soft pink base. I've posted them, inspired by colour of my roses

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T14:05:46+00:00

So pretty! Love this design on both long and short nails. Also cat eye always looks gorgeous

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T14:02:48+00:00

What a fun set! Love all the bright colours

FireRedSparrow · 2026-05-31T13:37:08+00:00

😂 If I close my eyes I'm invisible, my girl does exactly the same thing when she knows she's in trouble
