...To think Coleen Rooney is an idiot for giving her TWO year old son a can of diet pepsi to drink

[MsPaperbackWriter]

poor Kai Rooney has been pictured sipping a can of diet coke...

Does anyone actually think this is ok?! What was Coleen thinking? Silly girl.

Or maybe they were given a massive amount of coke when he was their "face", and Collen is just using up what is left in the garage.

Yes getorf, spicy Irn Bru, DD loves the stuff.
That's what happens when you have a Scottish child
I think it's vile.

I think you have to be Scottish or have Scottish blood to drink that stuff.

My brother (who has a different dad, a Scot) loves the stuff, and spends a load of money on it in expat shops in California.

at the idea of spicy, metallic taste

I'm English, hence why I hate the stuff.
DD was born here, and has lived here her whole life.

And where has op gone I wonder?!

op? diet coke break or huff no one agrees

This could be one for the MN jury - diet coke vs fruit shoots. Which one would you be shot at dawn for?

Can't really get excited about it either. Agree with the poster who said now if it were a line of coke......(full fat or diet).

Diet Coke. It's all about educating the taste buds. Fruit shoots taste vile.

I want spicy Iron Bru!! I love iron bru. It's been my pregnancy craving. Dh(who is welsh) reckons baby will come out with a Scottish Accent.

OP my boys have cola floats!! Yes coke and ice cream. Shoot me now!!

Oh coke floats are brilliant. I haven't had one of those for years.

Ooh, coke floats... what a good idea! Forgot about them.

Yes YABU.Who here gets papped by journo's on their way home from the airport after an overnight flight and sees us giving our kid a drink if he's thirsty and then sees it in the Daily Fail . Who cares, she can afford to fix his teeth if they're rotten

Diet Coke won't rot his teeth.

The caffeine may perk him up a bit though. And the saccharine may give him cancer one day.

Coke floats are brilliant!

Coke Float with a Fruit Shoot Sauce.

Fuck me, did I just read someone's post saying that Colleen Rooney is a role model to other mothers? The mind boggles!

I seriously don't care.
There are men and women doing far worse things to children than giving them Diet Coke.
Get things in perspective.

Anyway, in answer to the OP, colleen was probably thinking; "He's thirsty, and I've lost his beaker of filtered water I had carefully prepared".

She is a role model, unfortunately. There will be plenty of teenage and early twenties mums who copy what she does. She should know that and act accordingly.

Lynette - Personally I've never been in a situation where the only drink available is diet coke but I suppose it could happen

How many teens and early twenties mums do you know to be so sure about that statement?

Colleen is a prick but I judge her more for continuing a marriage with a man who rates his wife so highly that he ruts with escort girls on a regular basis, than for the fact that she's got some fluid into her son in hot weather.

getOrf a few, not a lot tbh cos I is very old.

conspiracy theory rubbish
she can't directly influence behaviour
so all the young crew,their weans supping coke because Colleen does

I really, really, really, really, don't believe that a horde of young mums are rushing out right now to buy a can of diet coke.

She is a footballers wife and minor celebrity for programmes such as "Coleen's Women". Not a parenting guru.

I could see your point if it was flaming Annabel Karmel.

yabu ffs she isn't brain of britain,

colleen is just a gallus woman
no role model
