Learning to love and care is where parenting should begin ......... gaining self esteem and not looking at photographs etc. that have been photoshopped.

I don't remember any books or education that discussed the effects of the various hormones ......... it was about the cycle and why but not how   

We have a large box of read books to take to Charity when the weather cools.

The book I got goes way beyond any information I was given at an early age….but here we are 2025. As the lady at the till said better coming from  me than elsewhere.

I learned my sex education by reading the 'back pages' in Mum's magazine, then asking her what they meant  and she never waffled.  It was given to me in words that were age appropriate.  Although she never called my vagina by it's name DH taught me to over come embarrassment very early on

Has any1 read a book that takes nearly 200 pages to get nowhere then the point arrives 3 pages B4 the end of the story  .  "Under the Dragon" by Rory Maclean, it was a real wade to get to the point!  Some of the book flashbacks could have been in italics to make it easier to follow!

Earlier this year I tried Number 7, which had great reveiws: again it isn't getting to the point and after two tries and not reading beyond page 10, I've given it up.

apparently 27 million adults in the UK do not regularly by choice = 47% of adults. 

I don't remember learning 2 read it was something that happened.  Mum would read Look and Learn to us, certainly we could read B4 we went to school.  TV wasn't an option in the 1940s/50s/60s so we played games as a family: Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Snap, Happy Families [ironic, that].  I remember having material books to read in the bath as well as cardboard books with bright pictures.

When severely depressed I was unable to read magazines or books which was upsetting.  Now I read in the bath; whilst DH is doing sports; in a shaded place in the garden ....... I have piles of books still to read, a few I begin and find that they aren't what I thought they would be or they simply don't suit my mood at the time.  Mainly bought/taken to Charity shops or bought from PostScript.

During the year I buy books to put into the cupboard where DH keeps my presents, by December I can't remember them anyway
