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.

Pennie and others - no actually I am not hysterical
About this or anything so calm down dears. Yeah I think he is an idiot to give her toddler diet coke, doesnt make me hysterical at all. What a weird conclusion

Oh and I never said she was a role model.

Pennie - it's flattering that you have spent so long following all my various posts but seriously dear, stop obsessing over me and live your life.

I daresay the poor mite will survive the experience.

Is anyone paying Colleen Rooney to be a role model? Because unless she's under some sort of 'I'm getting megabucks to be an exemplary mum at all times' type contract, I can't see that it's anyone else's business.

Salmotrutta · 27/05/2012 00:18

Jeez - who actually takes parenting advice from a celebrity?

Unless that celebrity happens to be a Paediatric Consultant/Midwife/Child Psychologist etc.??

And celebrities of that ilk are as rare as hen's teeth.

I took advice from my Mum ... apart from where her very sound common sense didn't match latest research (e.g weaning age, which changed obvioiusly)

Salmotrutta · 27/05/2012 00:21

Oh - and "gallus" is a bold rascally character if you want the original definition.

Salmotrutta · 27/05/2012 00:30

OP - you called her an idiot for giving her son coke.

Nice.

An unfortunate term used in a derogatory context. Like moron or cretin.

Hmm
MsPaperbackWriter · 27/05/2012 05:49

She is an idiot.

Omg. I got stranded yesterday after car broke down. Ds had finished his drink and was very thirsty so I (shock horror) gave him a sip of my diet coke. Would much rather do that than him being dehydration on a hit day. Btw-we were stranded for an hour.

lovesthesun · 27/05/2012 05:57

Dehydrated and hot Obvs. Damn predictive text.

theodorakis · 27/05/2012 08:54

threads like this make me want to extract my teeth and throw them. In what way is this any of your business whatsoever? What's with the endless parent critical crap today

It's not the end of the world, is it?
If its all he drinks day in day out then it might be a different story but an odd drink isn't going to cause any harm.

bibbitybobbitybunny · 27/05/2012 09:17

Yanbu. I hate to see little kids drinking coke and fizzy drinks, or anything with aspartame. Just one of my things.

Hang on a sec 'poor Kai Rooney' FGS! Sounds like a DM headline. He's not poor in any sense of the word.
