Imaginary friends

[dinahsmum]

Don't know what made me remember my sister when she was little. She had a 'dog' and the fuss she caused making sure the dog (it never did have a name) got everything it needed. I remember an incident on a bus where the dog was on the seat beside her and she wouldn't let anyone else sit there!

Have you, or your children, had invisible playmates!

Not me - just the little voices in my head........

Nope but then again my imagination wouldn't stretch that far when I was younger

My kiddies haven't aquired an imaginary friend either...yet...but there's time still I suppose

my daughter had a friend,she used to sit in her pram and offer her crisps,and even now she talks about her friend rebbeca,who had long brown hair,she said she died in a car accident aged 9 .i did say to kayleigh er but no-one else could see her !!!
and my son HAD to be different he had a pet pony called tony and a dragon who sat on his sholder but he used to walk down the road holding his arm up as if he was leading a pony boy did we get some strange looks

I didn't have any imaginary friends . . . not that I can remember anyway. I had plenty of imaginary BOYfriends . . . sad but true

Domi is still too young but I have a feeling he has a very fertile imagination so we may see a 'friend' or two in the future

BM - that is a very strange thing for your daughter to say. Has she maybe seen a TV programme to prompt this sad story or do you think she has some kind of ESP??

she used to talk about rebbeca when she was 10,and it came up in convesation recently,i didnt think she would of remembered,my mum was a bit on the *spooky* side so maybe it skipped a generation.

I didnt have any pretend friends but I did have pretend names!

I used to get fed up with Jacqueline, so I told people my name was Pamela or rosebud until my Dad started calling me greenfly

Oh and I never spoke until I was two! difficult to believe I know but seemingly my brother spoke for me so I didnt have too.
