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.

I am not Kelly-Rose my name is Karen, I am thirty three with three children. and I have not seen Kelly in sixteen years.I just wanted to put across my view point on how this is a real person with real feelings. What do you want her to write in the paper? Our life is absolutely perfect in everyway? Who wants to read that? How boring. It is her job to create debate.It would appear that some of the people on this thread are just stuck up, patronsing women stuck in their ivory towers, acting like a load of annoymous playground bullies. I am supremely confident that you do not confront people like this in real life. You just hide away whispering and creating animosity from the sidelines.Your all pretty disgraceful and I will never come on here again as I would not want to be associated with you in real life and that stands in my virtual one too.

Nice flounce, Peorgie

I didn't see much 'rational discussion' on this thread - just lots of abuse and name calling

"The reality is that it is actually very rare for separated mothers top adopt a position like this."

I've read many threads on here that have said the same as this woman, backed up by many and refuted by a few.

I couldn't read the article because I was laughing at the picture too much!

Peorgie - welcome to MN. If you stick around for longer than 24 hours you may get to like it here. AIBU can be a baptism of fire, I'm afraid Smile

The nonsense she spouts about her local coffee shops and yummy mummys etc did make me as we live in the same neighbourhood, and it is most definitely not that kind of place. Plenty of lovely folk, for sure, but generally very down to earth. On the evidence that she is quite capable of making that kind of stuff up, I hope the article we are talking about is also a work of fiction.

I'm not sure I understand how peorgie can defend articles written by someone she hasn't seen for 16 years. I have friends I've lost contact with over a similar time frame and who are in the public eye (albeit their children aren't!). I have absolutely no clue what kind of parent they are.

Even if the articles are made up the photos of her son are real. Even if the poor lad isn't ribbed at school (but he will be if she is still spouting this nonsense when he is a teenager) those articles will be available to google when he is older.

Wow that woman is twisted and bitter, poor child having a mother like that

Boney I think I'd rather stick to research than drawing my conclusions from a random internet thread that will inevitably attract more comparisons than contradictions. Hmm

GirlWithPointyShoes · 21/01/2012 17:07

Could you link us an example Boney?

God help the woman that her son marries.
