to think katie price is a really nice person and a brilliant mum

I've just watched her on this morning with Harvey and my heart melted. She's slagged off so often but she's got such an amazing bond with Harvey and he's such a sweetie.

Katie, Amy and Harvey were a delight to watch on TM. Yanbu.

AnnieMoor · 13/03/2015 10:50

Wasn't it lovely! I cried through most of it.

Regardless of her public persona - she's obviously a devoted mother & Harvey is a lovely boy.

InQuiteAPickle · 13/03/2015 10:50

I've always liked her. I think she seems lovely.

PrincessPilolevuofTONGA · 13/03/2015 10:50

He's her son. Is it noteworthy that they have a 'bond' ? Confused

Iquitelikeapples · 13/03/2015 10:51

YANBU She came across really well.

VisitTheInfidel · 13/03/2015 10:51

I think she has something very special about her. I want to dislike her but whenever I see her I can't help but like her.

Number666livesaMrMIller · 13/03/2015 10:52

They all came across really well. Harvey seems a lovely young man and Katie is very in tune with him. She definitely gone up in my estimation Smile

itsnotmeitsyou1 · 13/03/2015 10:53

Haven't seen the interview but I doubt anyone would deny she's a good mother as nothing has shown to the contrary. However, no, she's not a nice person. This recent 'saga' shoes her colours, I understand anyone would be devastated at what her partner did but she chose to take him back. And she expects us all to believe that her friend was a Slut but her husband has a 'sex addiction' problem? Either she's deluded or (more likely) using the situation to milk as much money as possible. I cannot 'like' a person like that.

Princess I think it is. From reading stuff online you'd think she's the devil incarnate who neglects her kids. Quite clearly not the case. We don't sed her with Harvey much and I think it was lovely to see how close they are.

Some parents don't have that. Some parents are crap at being parents.

I am very trivial, as I did think she seemed a great mother to Harvey, but I was just as transfixed by her chest- where have her mahoosive implant norks gone? She looked as though she'd had them removed.

JoanHicksonMIfive · 13/03/2015 10:55

Amy seems to have taken on the second parent role. It's not KP that is the parent letting Harvey down.

derxa · 13/03/2015 10:59

I've always liked her. If I had had a son with such severe disabilities, I don't think I could have coped half as well. Her life is a soap opera and she seems to have a bizarre taste in men. However she has used her high profile to help disabled people and that can only be good. PS Frankie Boyle makes ashamed to me be Scottish.

ahbollocks · 13/03/2015 11:22

I dont think having a merry go round of men entering your childrens life makes you a good mum. I feel sorry for them, the things they will read when they are older.
I understand that its made her rich and given them an amazing lifestyle but she goes out with totalidiots

NeedABumChange · 13/03/2015 11:24

Yes she's a good mum in public. She didn't have them with her when I met her.
I think we obviously disagree with what constitutes a "nice person" and she's crap with horses despite always babbling on about them.

100sanemum · 13/03/2015 11:28

And surely constantly parading your children on TV and on the press is slightly dubious?

pbwer · 13/03/2015 11:33

My mum never got her tits out for the nation to perve over. YABU

YouBetterWerk · 13/03/2015 11:36

My friend worked with her for a good period of time quite recently and says he has never worked with anyone with such misplaced, obnoxious entitlement in his life.
A good mum she may be, there are hundreds of thousands of good mums, but to work with she appears to be a complete nightmare.

Bowlersarm · 13/03/2015 11:40

I'm fonder of her than a lot of celebrities. What we get to see anyway.

kewtogetin · 13/03/2015 11:40

What number dad is that kid on now? Have as many relationships as you like love but having a revolving door of step dads is selfish and damaging.

jeee · 13/03/2015 11:41

You know, I'd read on other threads that Katie Price posted here. I think we have the evidence Grin.

countessmarkyabitch · 13/03/2015 11:43

I'm guessing you haven't met her? Then you have no idea if she is a nice person or what kind of mother she is.

I never understand why people think they know people because they see them on tv for 10 minutes. Or indeed why they care at all.

Bellerina2 · 13/03/2015 11:43

Friend of mind works at RNIB and theyd asked her (as she has a child who is blin) if she'd like to be a supporter and appear at an event of theirs. First things her agent came back with was "How much does it pay?" It was explained that RNIB are a charity so it doesn't pay anything and she said she wasn't interested.

So nice person? I doubt it. Good mother? Probably, although she is certainly not unwilling to use her kids for publicity.

Samcro · 13/03/2015 11:46

i don't like or dislike her and didn't see it.
I don't doubt she is a good mum and has a bond with all her children.
I live in the sn world and have yet to meet a main parent carer who hasn't got a good bond with their child.

SueChef · 13/03/2015 11:46

Yabu, i haven't seen her on This Morning I think children need stability and her life has been anything but. The amount of private slagging off done in public, and all the crass things her children will have to hear one day don't endear her to me either.

I don't doubt she tries to do right by her kids, or puts them first. But i am not close to thinking she's a great Mum.

Mamus · 13/03/2015 11:54

IDK, never met the woman. She comes across as a vile person, IMO, but that might just be editing or whatever (I doubt it, but it could be!). I'm sure she's a perfectly good mum but that doesn't make her anything special, does it?
