My mum and dad started an affair and both of their spouses knew but did nothing to try to keep them.

Such as what, precisely?

What is the significance of ankle chains? I always thought they were just a cute accessory.

I love, love, love purple toenails. :T Maybe it's a sign of my true nature. :rotfl:

I don't know the significance of ankle chains, I just know I like them.

I suspect it does show your true nature

In the 40's and 50's ankle chains were worn by female sex workers. They became trendy fashion accessories in the late 70's, early 80's (a bit like honking great medallions for men were).

They've got a longer history from the east, which is where my liking of them comes from I think.
I didn't know about the sex worker bit in the 40's and 50's.

Because the poster said the father was the one the mother had an affair with and moved in with when they were five. I used the power of reading what they posted!

The fact is unless they had a DNA test done you are on nothing more than words as to the actual biological father.

Yes, but maybe the mother hadn't slept with her husband for a long time, so she knew whose child it was! From reading the post (see, I can do that as well ) it sounds like they stayed with their spouses, only because they were the main earners, and did not want to leave them in the soft stuff. And it took 5 and 10 years to sort it out. Anyway, the poster sounds quite happy, and her parents were together for 25 years, so that would qualify for a happy ending!

Hey, purple toe nails, ankle chain......... you said it

I think we're building up a picture of the women we (men) either have to stay clear of, or look out for, depending on the bloke
