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.

Please stop giving the DM oxygen/publicity.

You are playing right into their hands.

Provocative feature = irate readers talking about it on internet forums = more people clikcking on to link = more hits for DM website = more advertisers = more money = more features like this.

Blimey, just reading her list of published articles make you think she's a bitter, twisted hag of a woman

Kayano I like your list, it's brilliant. I'd like to think I would be big enough to do the same.

I dont have a problem with the Mail and I do find it amusing when people get so uppity because an article is from there..

The editors at the DM are probably thinking she is completely bonkers too.. but it gives people something to talk about.

People can read and click on whatever links they want, be it DM or not. This woman wrote this herself so we can comment on it etc.

People focus on the fact it's the DM rather than the fact that it is a shocking
Opinion from a
Closed Minded woman.

I don't even read the DM usually but get a bit fed up of all the 'it's the DM!' comments

So what?

She clearly thinks that way if it was posted on the DM, a blog or
Another
Paper

It's Probably been said already, but in reality she has no power at all to control who the child's father introduces their child to. Silly woman.

I've just been invited to my ex's engagement party by his new fiance, who my son calls his other mum, and I'm quite excited for them. For me I want stability and love in my son's life, whether it comes from me or his dad, and I see a good relationship as a part of that. Having step family and half siblings doesn't take anything away from me as a mother, I know that I am irreplaceable, it adds so much more love to his life and I don't see how if we all behave responsibly that this can be a bad thing. You do more damage to your own child behaving in such a possessive silly way.

That's the second time today I've clicked on the Evil Mail.

Anyway - She comes across really, REALLY badly. It's clear she hasn't managed to separate her relationship with the ex and the relationship between her child and the ex.

How terrible for that little boy.

Typical Daily Mail.

what a complete and utter wassock of a woman.

I would hope that when her son hits his teenage years and buggers off to live with his dad and his lovely new girlfriend she remembers what a complete numpty she has been.

The reason people say "oh, it's the Daily Mail" is because it's THE most popular online newspaper. Therefore, it has influence. When it persists in presenting articles like this, it skews people's perceptions of reality and the DM's POV is one that is extremely misogynistic.

The reality is that it is actually very rare for separated mothers top adopt a position like this. Even when the GF was the OW or has come on the scene a little too quickly post separation, the mother usually comes round in time.

What Sunshine said ^

She is a media whore.

Yuk.

Reading the Daily Mail makes you a little bit angrier and more sad every day. It should be avoided where possible.

She spends her sons pocket money to the point where he knows to get his piggy bank out when the window cleaner comes that's made me really sad!

Why I?ll NEVER let my ex?s new girlfriend meet my son

seen loads of similar threads on here

shrugs - just a silly woman with a lot of issues going on

What a selfish, self centered woman, who is using her child as a pawn, and not doing whats best for her child. What about her, if she has a boyfriend then! Will she lock her child up in a bedroom whilst he is there! The boys father just as much say in brining up their son as she has

I can only wonder how this will turn out in 20 years time. That's if it is true.

Poor boy!!

Agree with what everyone has said and I would hope that I would never behave that way if the situation arose. My problem would be more around not having my DD with me during access times, that's what would kill me, not necessarily someone else being in her life.

Strangely my BF is going through the exact same thing at the moment and I have nothing but respect and pride in the way she's handling it. Her DH left her back in October after having an EA (supposedly ).

They have an 8 year old DD and her EXH has already moved in with OW and her two DDs. Their DD loves her new 'siblings' and talks about them all the time, about how much fun they have together and how their cousins are now her cousins etc etc. My amazing BF smiles and chatters on about how lucky she is to have two families and how wonderful it must be to have two older sisters, but once her DD is in bed, she sobs down the phone to me because her heart is breaking.

My BF is amazing and I don't know how she's doing it, especially in such a short time.

I would hope that if it ever happened to me, I would have the strength to be the amazing supportive DMum that she is.

omg what a petty, jealous woman. its all about HER isn't it?

:(

her poor little boy, and her poor ex.

"Regardless of whether or not he would have a good time, I would spend the period going insane with jealousy and fury."

How selfish and bitter of her.

My ex has now remarried and thankfully for him and my son I feel secure enough in my role as his mother to allow him to also experience family life in his dad's home too. I feel rather sorry for her son, and her ex.

at the pocket money story too!

She cashes his birthday and xmas cheques into her own account, has spent his savings on redecorating, etc.

I feel even more sorry for her son now.

You can just imagine the MIL threads in about 15 years time. I can hardly wait.

Not forgetting that she spends his pocket money on coffee for herself when she's out at coffee shops with her friends.

The woman is crazy!!!

Didn't I also read that she buys her friends coffee too out of her son's birthday money?
