Did you or your children have imaginary friends when the were small

Jen....according to Hayley, I still have them! pmsl BC XX

My eldest and youngest did..................we had to hold their hands when we crossed the road and leave an empty chair at the table and everything:))

They appeared when they were about 3 and went at around 4.

My eldest had a little boy and girl................our youngest had a Granny who lived in the downstairs cupboard and left to live in Spain.

both my girls had imaginary friends 11 years apart but the strange thing was they were both called onko and lived under the telly

they used to make me dress him for bed and me like a fool did it lol

hubby used to think i was bonkers when i used to go on the front before bed and shout him in

mind so did the neighbours haha

but they couldnt have him out when they went to bed and as logn as it made them smile lol

my g/d has one..Jenny ,Jenny does everything with her even to school,,,,,,,,,:!!

My son had one - once we were walking through the crowded market place, me pushing the empty buggy while son walked alongside and I did the most dreadful thing!!

I put my shopping bag in the buggy - not realising that said imaginary friend was taking a turn in the buggy!!! Sons screams turned every head in the market lol.

I had an imaginary friend when I was little - called her Panglina - parents had no idea where I got the name from but years later my Dad was putting some horse bets on and there was a horse running by the name of Panglina!!!!

Hi Ann
Did he place a bet and did it win lol
Jenxx

Did...I still have them...lol

just thought I'd Google Panglina for fun - got a Bruce Lee film and a load of restaurants in Kuala Lumpur!!!!!!

Don't remember if Dad placed a bet on Panglina

Is she called buttercup Hayley lol

I used to open the door to let 'my friend the wind' in when I was little! Does that count as an imaginary friend?

Mine didnot but Mitch the youngest would talk about when she was a little boy that was kill when a lorry hit his horse, she talked abot this untill she was about five then just stoped.

My imaginary friend was called Jesus!(gawd nows why) and I used to have picnics with Jesus on our back doorstep.
I have no Idea why it was Jesus , we weren't especially churchy.I did go to sunday school but think Jesus was my friend before that.

helen that made me chuckle your friends name

daughter had one, ive talked of him before,
he was called humphrey, god knows where she got the name from,if i asked her, shed say he was given it by his parents im sure of that, shes 22 now, well in a week shell be 22,
she fondly remembers humphrey, he was mischeif,
and went everywhere with her

Both mine did - and like Jax - they had the same name - Patrick.
Eldest had hers for a short while, didn't speak about him much.
The youngest told me her Patrick was an orphaned sweep boy who lived with his cruel grandfather. He died in a chimney accident (fell down it I think). He was very skinny and emaciated.
She blamed him for writing on the walls - and basically doing all the naughty things LOL
In the end I had to tell her that, as he was her friend, she shouldn't let him do naughty things as she was responsible for him, and if he carried on, he wouldn't be welcome as it was very rude to misbehave when you are a guest in someone elses house!!
Writing on the walls stopped!!!!
