i took everyone home, even the very briefest of encounters. my mum and dad were very non-judgemental and welcoming, in fact i think some of my boyfriends were keener on being part of the family than they were on me!! my parents never stood on ceremony, everyone was included in everything, they really were great. i sometimes used to feel a bit left out at school when everyone was moaning about theirs, i had nothing to moan about and all my friends loved coming to our house.
i just wish these two sons of mine lived nearer and could enjoy that sort of relationship with us :(
