Oh Christ. Thanks for letting me down again, UK. I'm moving to New Zealand

Totally going to try it.

Ugh I’m sorry to hear that :( I hope you got better!

I’m guessing grown up! I’m reluctant to bring the subject up now :p

Ha a few people have pointed this out! I didn't realise 7 was late for shoe-tying (I don't have kids and don't remember me learning). She obv caught up with herself at some point as she went to one of the best universities in the world! But not to study shoe-tying :p

Hehe I think rent-a-parent would take off! Especially for special occasions! This year I think husband and I will go away somewhere and I'll forget to check my texts/emails until after the day!

Thank you :) my dad is appreciative and kind much of the time. And my mum’s brilliant. I also actually get on well with my sister despite my dad’s best efforts. I'm lucky!

I see that part about only relating to you in relation to their other creation! My parents compare us in circumstances that it doesn’t make sense to compare - we’re not competitive at all so it doesn’t sit well with me.

Aw it's sweet that she likes your partner so much but I feel you! It'd be nice if she said your partner is really lucky to have you sometimes! Which I'm sure he/she is :)

Yeah he wasn’t trying to be spiteful, he thought it was funny! I didn’t :p

I really like what you did there :p

Probably... I'm sure lots of brides would be cool with it but it's best to be on the safe side I think. If it's white but extremely un-wedding dressy it's probably better. Long lacey white dress is almost definitely a no! But I'm not an expert :p

I feel you!!! After you’d just given birth as well! Literally cannot think of a less appropriate time to be all about your sister. Have you ever brought it up? I generally stick to eye rolls but yours sounds like a more advanced case.

Dad, is that you?! Maybe she was a late bloomer. She’s v smart now.

I’ll check with my mum!

Excellent! Glad she didn’t let the scene-stealers spoil the very 70s day. Funny to think one day future young ppl will look at our photos and be like ‘omg so 2000s’!

That's adorable!

Ooh yeah that would have pissed me right off! Don't fuck with the bride. It's not that hard, people! Poor mum, I hope her day was lovely anyway

Aw that’s nice of her! Sorry about the marriage :(

Not gonna lie I’m so livid with your mother rn! That was your graduation!!!! So in the spirit of this article can I make it all about me for a second? Great.
