Other-poll poll Can you remember having an imaginary friend or does you child have one? My DD is 2 yrs 9mths and has a `friend` named `Leo`` for the past month. He is a good friend not one that makes her do naughty things. I`m not worried about this just interested in hearing stories about other imaginary friends.

Two of my children have imaginary brothers and sisters, and my daughter has imaginary friends ALL the time. She talks to them alot. You would think someone is really there!!

Grace had an imaginary rabbit last year when she was about 20mths, she played with him for a few months then he went away. Leo is often around, we also know no one by that name, I`ve asked if there are any children at nursery by that name and they haven`t. This morning she was sitting on the edge of her bed with a sad face. I asked her what was wrong she replied she was waiting for Leo. I think it`s really sweet, as he is a good friend!

I had an imaginary friend named Bobby. I think I based him after Bobby on The Brady Bunch. What`s weird though is that just a week or so ago my 2 and a half year old started talking about someone named Bobby and we know no one named Bobby!

my son has an imaginary friend his name is alex.. it started when we brought our daughter home from the hospital. he says alex came from his poppys house and they just play together and we only hear his name when we cant play with him.. i think it was a combination of him not going to daycare anymore/missing his friends and having a new baby in the house and wasnt getting 100% attention like he used to.

I had a group of imaginary friends growing up for several years. I grew up on a farm and my parents were older when they had me so none its their friends had kids my age to okay with and my siblings were all teenagers, so iff I hadn`t had imaginary friends I wouldn`t have had any at all. Mine were all good. As I grew up and went to school and made real friwnds they went away on their own.

My niece had one that was very sweet and we all believe `not so imaginary` we believe she was a spirit child and very real :) I know others who had them too and same thing, we believe they were real, not so imaginary. Thankfully all were good and never a concern :)

My eldest didn`t have a human imaginary friend, she had a pack of baby lions that would follow her around. She made places for them to sleep and everything, and it lasted for quite a long time. She didn`t ever name them...but she would blame them for messy rooms etc :)

My little sister had a bad imaginary friend when she was three. His name was Jeffery and he made her do ornery things. One day she would not leave her seatbelt on in the car (back then there were no carseat laws or anything) and she kept saying Jeffery told her to takeit off. My mom was so fed up with dealing with `Jeffery` that she pulled over along side of the road and made him get out and told him to never come back to our house again! It is comical to look back on it now but at the time my mom was seriously frustrated! IT worked. My little sister talked about missing him for maybe three days and then never talked about him again.

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
