To be utterly flabbergasted re this Lady?

[GirlWithPointyShoes]

I have just been sent this link by a friend who is a step-mum. You may want to have something soft for your jaw to land on when it hits the floor.

She write about herself,

^Journalist, columnist, writer and broadcaster
I am a freelance journalist and broadcaster, working for the national press, television and radio. I am available for writing assignments, radio, television and public speaking gigs.
I write about anything and everything, and love nothing more than getting my teeth into an exciting and inspiring story. In the name of frivolous journalism, I've posed nude for an artist, trained as a private eye, worked as a Santa's little helper, performed as an ice dancer in panto, learned how to be a good housewife, and admitted to stealing my son's pocket money. Wearing my serious hat, I produce well-researched, thought-provoking, informative copy on health, pregnancy and birth, parenting and women's issues.^

Surely she must know how much of a back step articles like this take for women's issues and mothers in general?

Ruddy Italics

I'd be surprised if any other man would take the risk of getting involved with her after she's put this article out there into the public domain.
On the other hand I wonder if she actually said any of the article in the contex it's been written tbh.

I saw that. I did wonder how pathetically insecure you must be to object to someone braiding your child's hair.

If DH and I ever split up the only thing I would be thinking was "I hope my replacement loves my DD".

And she has custody of her son so it's not even as if she's being pushed aside. Utterly extraordinary.

gosh she isn't a woman and single is she - the daily mail just love to hate single woman - better still they love to hate single woman who are mothers - and they get right off if its a single woman whom is a mother living on benefits

She is MAD.

And she's shot herself in the foot there because she's layed out in black and white what a mean, spiteful, vindictive, gameplayer she really is - would backfire on her spectacularly if she ever gets taken to court by her ex.

I would hope so Heswall as she wrote this herself.

Nothing makes my heart sink like the phrase "women's issues". Apart from gynaecological and obstetric stuff I cannot think of any single issue that is only pertinent to women

Did she do the son's hair like that on purpose?

Absolutely bat shit. You can see the child thinking 'Ten more years. Ten more years 'til I can officially ignore you in every way '.

FFS. She sounds like a lovely person. Do love the thought that if the father were to marry someone else the new wife wouldn't be allowed contact with her step-son.

As a step-child whose step-father has been a far greater positive influence than my biological father I feel I am qualified to say she's being a twat. Not that that was really in doubt...

Also agree that the Daily Fail has it's own agenda when publishing this rubbish but if she wrote it herself then they can't be accused of misquoting!

Thing I'd he takes her tp court for access she can not dicate who her sOn spends time with when with his dad

I know as I had enough problems when we was sorting access to get it agreed that certain people from my xh new wife family can not be near the children and only happened as proven safe guarding issues

I bet the DM are loving this story. Bears out all they think about bonkers women

She is a selfish person who is only thinking of herself.

I would like to say 'Hi' to here becauase I can guarantee she will be googling herself stupid at this moment.

She is that type.

So - you are mad and you are selfish and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Sort out your issues in private and dont drag your poor child into them.

Hi to HER and BECAUSE

obviously
gah

I bet the DM are loving this story.

I bet they made up 99% of the story and the only truthful part is that fact that this person is female - I doubt they even spelt her name correctly and she is a lovely lady who works in a chippy in real life

One thing I have learned from MN and
From looking at
Lone parents and step parents forum:

(I'm with DH but if we ever split I have already promised this to myself)

His new relationship is non of my business

I will not bad mouth any new woman who could be SM (unless ofc causes actual risk to my child etc)

I will teach the DC to respect and step parent involved

I will not withhold access because of a new partner or be awkward.

DH is their dad as much as I am their mum so although it's nice to k ow what
They are up to I would trust him to make
Is own decisions/ plans with our child

I wouldn't insist on meeting or 'vetting' potential SM before introducing the child. I had the child with DH and trust he would not rush in, although it would be nice
To know I wouldn't put any demands on it etc

I would make sure if there were and issues re contact days/ holidays I would have a written agreement in place to protect contact time but would try to be flexible to requests and hope DH would do the same.

It must be such a hard situation anyway without people adding
Unnecessary drama

Daughter in law of the future is gonna have some fun. Hope man is still around in fifteen years time!!!

I'm just wondering why on earth he left her in the first place

don?t want someone else picking my child up when he falls over, rubbing his knees better, or helping him dry his hair after his bath. In fact, the thought of anyone touching him in a maternal way is just too hideous to contemplate.

she'd rather have her child lying on the floor screaming for her... how incredibky selfish

The woman is a journalist who regularly exploits her child, and most likely fabricates the truth for the sake of a story to be printed.

Good god squeaky it's like the chronicles of Why Men Should Hate Women And Women Should Hate Each Other

She's probably a celebrity over on the misandry forum.

The Mail has quite a few "regular" freelancers who contribute articles which are bound to cause a bit of a stir. Shona Sibary is another, and every article contradicts the last one.

As soon as I see their name or gurning faces I know that I am going to be reading a load of tripe.. but I do like to read it.. and then read all the viewers comments below, which are generally along the same lines as the reactions on this thread too.

Worse things in the world than a step family that loves you, I think this lady is a bit mad. She certainly isn't looking after her child's best interests. She'll end up old and alone.

yes she is a fool

but so are those who are sucked in to yet another dm story on crazy women and how they are the root of all that is wrong in the world

its hardly new worthy is it
