Knitting your own Birkenstocks?!
Katie Hopkins again.. Doesn't she ever go away? The debate about Attachment Parenting didn't seem to even go anywhere or be resolved.
Anyone else see it?
AIBU to think Katie Hopkins needs less airtime?

KH isn't telling me how to parent (after less than 2 years of parenting)or accusing me of using my kids as alarm clocks.

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:07

Was it the sneering at the start?
The comments about yogurt and breast milk in Costa?
Or AP parenting is CRAP parenting?

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:08

She's just telling you what names to choose, what to think of ginger haired people, obese people etc.

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:11

Yeah after a diatribe from Peaches lecturing us all with a load of misinformation on why AP is the way to parent if you want happy,healthy kids.

KerwhizzedMyself · 12/11/2013 22:13

Why are you digging up the fearne programme retro? Ill hazard a guess that between the ages of 20 and 24, during which she has become a mother of two, she will have matured a fair bit.

I thought KH responded well- she made me laugh,added a bit of humour to a tedious lecture on parenting from a 23 year old with the sum total of less than 2 years of parenting experience.

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:15

I don't think the way KH parents is a way to bring up healthy, happy kids. What she does in the media, the way she uses them, talks about them etc cannot be good for them.

Mind you, there's quite a few celebrity mums who use their children.

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:16

Ker I was never that rude or arrogant.Think it would take more than 4 years to dislodge that amount of arrogance.

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:17

PG uses her kids in the media,the constant Twitter pics,the organised pap pics,the articles,the interviews.....

I think you are just desperate to hate her really. Four years is plenty long enough to mature or grow up.

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:21

Did you like the sneering at the start?

Or was it gurning? KH is just Rent a Gob. Peaches was so right about that and it was great to see someone say that to her face. There's so much more that could be said to her face and I'm glad someone finally did.

Why was Katie even there? Is she a parenting expert? PG might not be but KH certainly isn't.

She was then on Radio 2 talking about breastfeeding. She'd already been on Radio Manchester talking about it. She is on Radio 2 loads of times talking about women's issues.

WTF makes her an expert and why are the producers so lazy they can only think to call her?

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:23

She is not a business woman. I think she is now just a Rent a Gob for any outlet that wants her opinion. What makes her opinion so worthy?

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:24

Earless think she's reigned it in a bit.Grin

Ker desperate to hate a Zlister - yeah that's right or simply not keen on being lectured to by a 23 old "celeb" on parenting considering I'm the mother of 10 and 9 year olds,old enough to be her mother and the owner of an early years degree.

You have way too much rage about a 24 year old celeb who wasn't lecturing anyone. She was just talking about her opinion. Tiny bit creepy how affected you are!

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:32

That's right Ker.Hmm

God no Ear,don't do Twitter but there was a stage when her Twitter pics were in the media- a lot.

OrlandoWoolf · 12/11/2013 22:34

You should look at Katie

twitter.com/KTHopkins

You can just read them. They're....interesting.

congresstart · 12/11/2013 22:36

The thing is even if KH doesn't believe half the stuff she says, is being contriversial and in the news worth looking like a prat to everyone?

And sometimes a vile prat at that...I think she needs to go away and think a bit more about how she wants to come across...for her kids sake if nothing else and how they will be affected by her spouting shite all over the place.

Retropear · 12/11/2013 22:38

Thanks for that,some of her Tweets are quite funny- the Hoproach!Grin

Nellabutterfly · 12/11/2013 22:38

If I met KH in the street, it would be hard to resist the temptation to whip out Lefty, give her a good squirt in the face and yell "Smell this, bitch!"

.

Peaches Geldof lost her Mother to a drug overdose when she was eleven years old.

Her older sister Fifi had to run the gauntlet of Press when she returned to Paula's house to feed the cat the day after her Mother's death.

Peaches Geldof's stepfather figure died a mystery death which triggered a blaze of publicity for years and resulted ultimately in her Mothers suicide/suicide via default. Her sister was orphaned by this.

Peaches Geldof had to endure the ugly, public and selfish separation of her parents and their eventual divorce. She lived through this without any privacy or consideration afforded her by the press.

To Accuse Peaches Geldof of being a Z list Celebrity 'who doesn't live in the real world' as a previous poster just has is ignorant and spiteful. I imagine Peaches has had more 'real world' experiences than many of us, some unimaginable and appears to have made a loving happy family for herself. Stupid stupid thing to say unless you know nothing of her background.

Thrush on the other hand is so weighed down with bitterness at her life gone sour that she will soon disappear into that black hole of her own making. She has a tiger by the tail with regard to the media and eventually they will push her too far into making a statement that she cannot recover from. The media will tear her apart and she will be dropped like the proverbial.

Thrush needs to keep an eye on her own home and hearth Wink and spend less time commentating on the lives and lifestyle of others.
Oh and the TM make up artist clearly bloody hates her- has she ever looked worse?
