The Big Friday Debate.

I read in Grazia, going back a couple of weeks ago, about a couple who met and started dating. They'd grown up in cities 100 miles apart, but found they had an extraordinary amount in common - nothing unusual there. They commuted to see each other for nigh on 2 years when she suddenly fell pregnant. It wasn't expected, but they were delighted nonetheless. By a cruel twist of fate, they later found out they were half brother/sister. The father has made umpteen efforts to see his son when he was a child, but the court decided it wouldn't be in his best interest at the time. Had the courts not prevented access, they would have been allowed to grow up as brother and sister, and all the heartache would have been avoided.

They have vowed to stay together, although they are not presently having a physical relationship. They have both expressed a desire to resume the physical side of things at some point in time, but they've also vowed that their son will never know the truth about his mum and dad being half siblings.

So... do you think they should stay together, or separate? And should their child be told the truth, or forever kept in the dark?

A red setter pup. I have a 5 year old Red setter/Cocker Spaniel Cross who I rescued in Spain and brought back to the UK at the end of May.

I am not a fan of children/babies but ginger ones are awesome!

Well Alfie's ginger, and I love him to bits.

He's just acquired a new toy: a fluffy white polar bear. Last night, when he crept upstairs to bag the best spot on the bed, he took his new toy with him. Awwwwww.....

[ummmm]

They have to be in my family....

Not so much a child but I desperately want a ginger cat. I feel I may have to steal the cat who keep eating my rubbish as he is almost radioactive!
