Jacky, 52, a housewife from Salisbury, Wiltshire, says: "Being a mum is the toughest job in the world. There's no textbook on how to bring up kids, but there are rites of passage that everyone expects - first tooth, first steps...

She, she she. Meh.

At least the mom is accepting. I wish my parents were that liberal. They won't accept me.

It's nice to see other people being able to be themselves. Hope it works out for him.
