(too busy watching your step lol) Glad they had fun though how old were they last yr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the grandparents will have our daughter again this year, the other half doesn't want to take her till she's 7..but i'm keen to take her next time when she'll be 4 and a half. I love seeing all the kids there in their decorated carts with their faces painted! We've taken one since she was 7. Took the toddler as a bump in 2015, and as a baby last year, and if we get in this year will be taking them both again, plus another bump. So never had cool parents myself, but possibly #tryingtoohard to be cool myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing all the kids there in their decorated carts with their faces painted! I wish! I like to think of myself as that cool parent. My son first went to Glastonbury at 6 months old (2013). This year should have been his fifth straight Glastonbury. Too young to appreciate?? Not at all, he loves it and talks about it constantly, instantly recognises music he heard there and was as upset as me when we didn't get tickets in either sale this year.

andyb66 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I took my daughter to see Dizzee Rascal several years ago. I was the oldest there but quite a way. But on the plus side I was one of only a handful of people who was old enough to buy a beer. Every cloud..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to think of a useful glasto invention then create a drawing, vine or video of it. Mine was one of only 10 entries retweeted by the official EE twitter account so I thought I was in with a shout. Came to the winners announcements and a load of people with twitter accounts with tens of thousands of followers or who work for websites such as the Poke and YouTube vloggers won. Oh and there were only 19 winners. I'm not bitter though, honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seeing all the kids there in their decorated carts with their faces painted! I took my youngest when she was 2 and a half. This year, she'll be four and a half. Well worth it, I would say. Mind you, this year, the grandparents are having them for the first few days so they don't miss too much school (well, that's what I've told them - I'm sure it is nothing to do with a couple of days child-free!).

I was so proud of him, mum insists he didn't have a good time but I'm so glad he made it to my favourite place and knows what it's like! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumb111 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 These Siblin notifications don't seem right. They are going ballistic and its the same page with no real change. I think I am officially giving up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger your amount of followers the more chance you have then. Also not bitter here. Edited May 31, 2017 by lobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo12 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Has anyone got any theories on these Siblin notifications? Good or bad? (Although preferably good.) I have no idea what to make of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
