Trigger warning - incomprehensible tragedy

[Nimbostratus100]

Two beautiful little boys strangled, and mother hung, and the boys looked so well cared for and loved, plenty of toys, nice clothes, lovingly photographed

I just cant bear to think of what went on in that house in those last moments, those poor poor children

How can this happen? How was this impossible to see coming?

*absurd

Seems to be doesn't it?

What's being beautiful got to do with it? Would it have been OK if they had been ugly?

I can’t imagine what was going through that mothers mind, must have been something really disturbing.

RIP sweet boys

shut up, wtf it's a normal use of the word.
'they were so young, they didn't deserve it, they deserved to live long happy lives'

Of course you could argue some people do deserve being murdered. (paedophiles and the like) but I think we all know what the pp was saying. It's a common phrase when you hear of an untimely death.

Don't apologise PP, they are policing normal words and phrases, and getting it wrong, not you.

fucking hell. All children are beautiful. That is what was implied, not the fact that ugly children should be killed by their mother's.
Fucking psychos on here.

7 years that should be

Murder / Suicide
Those poor innocent children.

But since it was a woman…?

So if a man killed his children would you say 'where was the mother? She should have been more supportive'?

It is mental health though.

I’m not defending her but you have to be not in your right mind to kill your own children.

I can’t imagine how awful it must have been for their father to identify the bodies.

No there isn’t.
Nobody thinks absent fathers is a good thing.

Sorry ,what do you mean

Nonsense. My adopted DS's Mum made many an attempt to kill him or allow others to do so. She is perfectly sane. He was an inconvenience.

Those poor darling boys.

no words for their “mother”.

I disagree in this case and probably yours too.

No person in their right mind would kill a child, let alone their own.

If they were an inconvenience she could have put them up for adoption or killer them and made it look like an accident.

Even if she did it to get back at their dad, it would still be mental health and no sane person would do that.

Since it was a woman, it is reasonable to conclude there was probably a different ‘motivation’ and different causes.

Since it was a woman, she was struggling on her own in a system that says she is a plague on society for having the temerity to be female and alone with children.

Since it was a woman, she was caring for the boys alone.

Since it was a woman, she didn’t kill her boys father.

Since it was a woman, we don’t excuse or apportion blame, but we do look at the whole picture and it’s a slightly different one to the other recent case.

She may have been but equally she may not.

Quite! The bias and double standards on this site are shocking sometimes.

Men = evil. Women = always victims.

Some mothers are just shit.

Seems to be

Because you can’t leave them behind after killing yourself

I do find the assumptions strange too. Killing/murders possibly related to her career issues (property boss, lived in swanky Mayfair property). In the other case where Mumsnet was so certain that the headteacher's husband killed his children and himself due to his career issues, this was seen as a bad manifestation of ego, rather then a point of sympathy.

Or it could be due to the separation with her husband, and his resigning from their joint property firm – either way being jilted is not really an excuse to kill children.

It is a tragedy of course, and no sane man or woman would ever kill children, but the double gender standards are quite obvious on MN.

And I hope this poor bloody bereaved father of these children doesn't come across crap like the above that it's his fault for not giving the woman who killed their children enough support.
