Awwww, Jen, I wish you were my mum!

Sleepovers were never a problem even in primary school, weekend trips with brownies (age 7 onwards) and week trips with school (age 11), they attended sports things but didn't bother to watch as they thought I was going to lose, they happily let me go off at 16 on holiday with another girlfriend without knowing anything about where we were going (it was booked by an adult with whom I was friends but to whom my parents had never spoken, let alone met). My sister had "boyfriends" from age 11 (I guess that was never going to be an issue for me).

I wish my mum loved me enough to be strict!
