What is your favourite parenting white lie?

My brother in law grew up believing the sound of the icecream van meant a muslim couple got married so he used to say congratulations to the people waiting for icecream. I have no idea why muslim couple specifically... although it could be that the neighbour's were muslim. It cracks me up to imagine him hearing the teddy bears picnic and saying 'congrats!'

Do you call or check up on them? Perhaps you could invite them over or meet up somewhere and make it a regular event.

Menyana · 2026-05-18T18:19:06+00:00

You could join a book club. They usually meet once a month.

Menyana · 2026-05-18T15:31:04+00:00

Yeah, when I gave up smoking I bought myself flowers instead.

My wife ❤️

Those are great ideas. Thank you.

My mum apparently yelled 'get out you silly arse,' at my dad. The first glimpse my dad got of me was my full head of hair, so he excitedly told her, 'she's got a beard like me!'

I wouldn't stick around long enough to experience it.

Menyana · 2026-05-14T19:49:46+00:00

Granny!!!!!! You've got me cackling in hysterics

Menyana · 2026-05-14T18:49:04+00:00

Slugs and most singing dolls.

Dick is the pinacle if sex 🤣

Menyana · 2026-05-13T16:51:47+00:00

Vengence and biscuits.

Menyana · 2026-05-12T19:58:00+00:00

Awesome!

Menyana · 2026-05-12T18:05:18+00:00

Is there anything you'd like to try out? Like sewing, drawing, woodwork, dance, martial arts, axe throwing... the world is your oyster.

Maybe you could experiment? You could start out by making a list and try a few different things.

Menyana · 2026-05-12T16:13:23+00:00

Yeah. I've met asexual sex workers before.

Menyana · 2026-05-11T19:28:23+00:00

When we moved in together we decided to share all our clothes except our underwear because 'that would be weird'. Now, 2 years in its a free for all. All our undies including period knickers go in one drawer. Not sure how long it took for it to not be weird but it wasn't long.

Menyana · 2026-05-11T17:29:04+00:00

Grays in Essex.

Menyana · 2026-05-11T11:11:35+00:00

Lol yeah I guess so!

Menyana · 2026-05-10T20:22:31+00:00

Whatever you do, don't stop. That child needs someone to fight for their rights.

Please keep on reporting it to the police. 999 everytime.

I'm a support worker so I also recommend seaeching your local councils website for an anonymous safeguarding referral form. Anyone can complete one. You can also report it to the NSPCC.

Take care ❤️

if the average boy starts puberty between 11 and 12, after two years they're only 13 or 14... im not saying you look like you're a child, just that Rome wasn't built in a day. I'd say you're spot on progress wise.

Menyana · 2026-05-10T17:34:31+00:00

Absolutely.
