Sharon Osbourne: It's all about me!

[BupcakesandCunting]

Stupid woman.

Her poor son has MS and he's just become a father for the first time :( Yet Shazzer makes it all about her yet again. Just saw her bleating on some chat show in the States saying "What did I do wrong? What did I do when I was pregnant that could have made Jack so ill?" Errrrrr, nothing, you weird woman. Not all events in the world happen as a direct result of what YOU may or may not have done, as much as you might not believe it, Shaz.

She does my head in, that one. AIBU to say that she should be banned from speaking?

yanbu i find her so annoying, did not know this about her son and ms and having a baby, but in general when parents do this and try to make all the focus on themselves instead of supporting the children with whatever, it is so wrong

Sharon Osbourne: It's all about me!

Did we honestly expect anything different?

I think she blames herself rather than trying to focus all the attention on her

Although I know fuck all about her so could be wrong

Not really, no. I'm just shocked at the woman's capacity to think so selfishly. Against all the odds, Jack seems like a nice bloke and it's shit that this has happened to him. As a mother, wouldn't you be devoting time to researching his condition (so you'd know that your eating habits when pregnant didn't cause his MS!) rather than sobbing all over Oprah? She is a sympathy-seeking twatbag.

I think, as a parent, if your child was diagnosed with an illness such as this, you would question yourself and whether you had done anything to contribute to it.

I would anyway.

What yardbroom said.

She's entitled to be distressed. Her son has just been diagnosed with a bloody horrid condition. If that was me, I'd be the same. I can only imagine it feels like a grief, doubled up with fear for the future.

Compassion???

I was a bit surprised to find that in the same week as he was diagnosed she was on TV crying about it.

So not raising awareness or campaigning about it.

Or publicising the early symptoms and the process or whatever.

But on TV wailing about it.

It does stink of "Oh my god, my son's been diagnosed with MS. Quick get me on the telly!" Rather than "Oh my god, my son's been diagnosed with MS. Right, time for a low profile whilst we pull together as a family to help him deal with this."

Exactly, FolkGirl.

Thank you

It does seem as if Sharon's thought process goes like this
'OMG my son has been diganosed with MS, Quick someone get me Oprah!!! Also get Hello on the line. It's URGENT!'

My mum is like this it is not helpful when you have a serious illness for someone to make it all about them.

My mum is too, Noddy!

Its natural to blame yourself at first, its part of the process. I do think eventually, she will make this about raising awareness. Remember when she had bowel cancer? she never kept that quiet either but, I think that was a good thing.

I do like Jack, he's really turned himself around. I wish him all the best.

They've known for about 6 weeks, it's not like one day he is diagnosed, the next she's on TV "wailing".

Agree with Yardbroom. I'd be exactly the same, wondering if anything I had done or not done contributed, and I guess so would each and every one of you.

YABU.

YABU. If she didn't care, she would not be upset. I think it is natural for parents to question their own behaviour when things go wrong, even though it is totally illogical in this case.
Remember, Sharon and Ozzy seem settled now, but they had hell of a wild past. NOT a judgement, but they were hardly conventional. This obviously had zero bearing on their son's condition today, but parents blame themselves -illogical though it may be.

So, if your child was diagnosed with something where there is no exactly known cause but there are considered to be "environmental factors" involved in some cases, you would not wonder if you'd done something in pregnancy to lay the seeds? You wouldn't burst into tears when asked about your ch'ds recent diagnosis?

Well, you're harder people than me.

Yeah, cut the woman some slack ffs.

I was just about to say that theyve known for weeks, theyve all been getting their heads around it before telling anyone.

Well, fair play to her...........I've been saying the same (what did I do wrong) because my son has Aspergers.

I don't like Sharon Osbourne very much. However, I think this is a natural reaction to think she has done something wrong even if she hasn't. She is probably dealing with this the only way she knows how.

Her son has just been diagnosed with a horrendous condition, as his mother she's bound to feel a lot of different emotions, guilt being one of them.

When I found out about my sons autism I blamed myself and thought back to everything I done that may have caused it, at one point I blamed myself for not using a rear facing buggy after about 8 months. Now I realise that it wasn't me using the wrong buggy, eating too much fish, not eating enough fish, not exercising enough, having a natural delivery, it just happened and I couldn't control it.

I've been able to face up to that 10 months later, although sometimes I still catch myself thinking 'what if I had just done this differently...', her son has just been diagnosed. Have some compassion.

Agree with you Bupcakes - it's one thing to raise awareness, show compassion, be there for your son. It's another to go on tv and wail about how bad it is for you.

I think any mother in their right mind would question what they could have done differently, but ol' Shazza has seen it as a massive chance to get her face on TV.

Same as Peter-I-Love-My-Kids-I-Do televising his brother's battle with cancer.

Some celebs will do anything to stay in the limelight.

Quite sickening really.
