to think this is very judgemental towards the Beckhams?

I know, it's the DM. Sorry. And yeah, a dummy aged 3 isn't ideal. But really, maybe the child never watches tv and only eats organic lentils (for some reason I think this is what I should aspire to as a parent). Poor kid.

Greengrow I think your idea of hard work differs to mine.

Frankly working hard when you are 2x millionaires with flexible working hours that you pick,nannies,multiple houses,chefs,cleaners,drivers,private education,the best tutors etc is a world away from the working mother who works exhausting hours,gets paid a pittance whilst trying to do the best for her children as a family.

Money seems to be all and end all for you.As sad as that maybe I can tolerate that.What I can't tolerate is you lecturing people who work hard in worthwhile jobs they may enjoy whilst earning a pittance or even having one parent not earning at all for the benefit of their family.

Frankly given how Harper is made into a fashion accessory I wouldn't be suprised if dummies are chic as far as VB is concerned.

Have to say I'd sack her nanny if I was her.Every child care professional worth their salt would have had the dummy fairy pay a visit nigh on 2 years ago.

What clap trap you talk Greengrow VB goes back to work and becomes successful, although she has lots of children, while being shored up by her DH's MILLIONS and huge international profile. If that's not a hefty leg up I don't know what is. She didn't do it all by herself, she had about as much help as it's possible to have.

That said I'm sure Harper will have have access to the best SALT and orthodontics money can buy so not sure we should worry too much.Doesn't set a great example for other parents though.

She doesn't have to set any type of example to other parents though. And any child care professional worth their salt would not make an arbitrary decision about a child's comfort object without consulting the parent first - any who did should he disciplined or sacked. It's not up to anybody but the Beckhams - both of them- what the child puts in her mouth.

With their wealth there really is no need for their dc to be photographed in public as much as they are. All those shots are so set up. Bono and ali hewsons dc went to school, got on with life and theres hardly a handful of photos of them. It is possible for VB not to have harper subjected to the paps if they wanted to. As for the dummy thing, big deal. As long as they take it out when speaking

Who cares if she has a dummy?! It's not actually going to mess her up. And, you know what? That kid is probably going to have a pretty awesome, privileged life. A dummy is not going to screw all that up.

It's not VB's job to "set an example to other parents." Dear Lord, what is wrong with people?!

FGS dummies aren't the end of the world.

And comedy post that Suri Cruise wasn't carried. She was carried perpetually. If I had a horde of photographers stalking me and my children I'd carry the youngest too.

They're not the end of the world but they can damage teeth and have an impact on speech.

Facts are facts even if you are wealthy and sell expensive clothes.

Tis interesting how the claws were sharpened when KP's dd was seen with one.If it was KK I'm pretty sure a need for ss would be proclaimed.

Hypocrisy,much.
