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.

I'll wade in with a Yanbu as I feel grumpy this morning.

Plenty of time for them to be guzzling crap drinks when they are older.

Is she wants to chase round after a caffeinated toddler that's her choice.

Perhaps chasing caffiene hyper kids is the new celebrity work-out?

Hmm could do with losing a few pounds...

On a hot afternoon like that surely she should a nice bit of rum in it for him (plus ice and a slice)

Piss off food Nazi

composhat don't be silly.
Vodka goes much better with coke.Smile

Diet - bleurgh. Those sweeterers and nasty! I drank loads of raspberry lemonade and pineapple crush as a child and I'm still ok. I ate so much rubbish as a kid (even Campbells neat balls - we were a simpler people back in the 70s!).

Still, I don't give DS coke very often as I don't want him to have a taste for sweet fizz. He doesn't ask for it often - just at parties - so its not a big problem. He can't finish a whole can. I don't have it much either, and never buy any for home. It has to be ice cold from a glass bottle.

I don't really care what the Rooneys do. I shan't be copying them!

I think she stays in the marriage for the sake of the child bank balance.

I can well imagine people looking up to her, it normalises their own behaviour.

It is everything in moderation when it comes to diet though.

Put me off coke when I found out it is GREEN. Thats why they put colouring in it. It's GREEN.

ComposHat · 27/05/2012 12:19

And op bit patronising to refer to a grown woman on her late 20s as a 'silly girl' don't you think?

wrathomum · 27/05/2012 12:29

"food Nazi"? Really? Giving Diet coke to a toddler is NOT a reasonable thing to do. I know some children aren't keen on drinking water but they will if they're hot and thirsty. She's his mum -she should be making good choices for him while she still has influence over him.
I agree with Meglet completely. What a shame.

ohnoudidnt · 27/05/2012 14:37

Thats good isnt it? Confused

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 27/05/2012 14:59

I think she's an idiot, diet pepsi drinking son or not!

SPsFanjoHarboursTRex · 27/05/2012 17:42

I couldn't give one flying fuck what Colleen does. She is just married to some dickhead who kicks a ball and pays for fucks.

Im in my early 20's and can say she is no role model to me!

My son had some coca cola at my wedding last spring. A couple of childless people were so outraged they told me I was an awful mother for doing so.

Funny thing is I regularly give him medication which could cause deafness, liver damage and kidney failure. So actually coca cola isn't on our banned list and the people who confronted me at my wedding really went down in my estimations.

I'm of the it's coke not crack brigade too.

McHappyPants2012 · 27/05/2012 17:59

Yabu it's a bit of pop

TapirBackRider · 27/05/2012 18:12

Anyone who judges 'slebs' by a randomly taken (or otherwise) photo could be said to be the idiot - how many of us are perfect in our parenting all day, every day? Hmm

takingiteasy · 27/05/2012 18:27

I can't believe people actually passed comment on your lo drinking pop on your wedding day?!?!

skybluepearl · 27/05/2012 18:31

I think if its a one off for a party, then fair dos. Otherwise I agree, what a silly girl.

mumeeee · 27/05/2012 22:48

YABU it was diet cole and he might have only been having a sip.
Also he might have beeb thirsty because of the weather and diet cole would be better than nothing.

sweetkitty · 27/05/2012 22:57

Best one I have seen is a 3yo going into nursery swigging in a can of Red Bull ( was sugar free though) a toddler in red bull!!???
