To think Madonna is being slightly out of order?

[MadSprocker]

Probably going to get a flaming, but reading a news report this morning about the custody battle about Rocco, she doesn't seem to take her son's feelings into account at all. He is happy in school with his father, whereas she is on tour in various places around the world. The judge also condemned both Guy and Madonna for playing this out in public, when it could be resolved in private.

Oh I think it would definitely be in the press if she had! It's relevant and she probably would have instagrammed it.

Neither Guy nor Madonna attended the court case in person

GR and his wife have both posted pictures (some deleted) on Instagram of Rocco looking cosy in their unit

Both sides have behaved badly. It's very sad

I stand corrected.

Well Guy couldn't go as he was with Rocco and Rocco didn't want to fly to New York.

There have been photos in the press from Guy Ritchie and his new wife with Rocco and their other children.

At a very simple level this seems to be, a family where a custody agreement was in place, the teen DC had a strop and the father is supporting that strop, challenging the custody agreement and encouraging the DC to challenge it. With an added undercurrent of 'ooh she works and travels which makes her a bad mum and we offer stability'. Tale as old as time and bloody depressing that even with all of Madonna's money, she's still being hit with all the same crap that every separated mum does ie Disney dad saves the day.

All surmising. Madonna has been presented as a ruthless, self centred career robot since she first started out. And she may well be but this press coverage is just more of the same and we are all only too happy to buy into it.

Personally I say leave him where he is if he's happy but I should imagine most mothers might kick up a bit of a fuss if their 15 year old refused to return home. We see it on here regularly. 15 year olds often go off the rails a bit or assert their independence and we don't all immediately assume the mother is a massive bitch and brought it on herself.

APlaceonTheCouch- I disagree. It's not a sexism thing about working mothers. She is literally not in the home she expects him to live in and won't be for some time. She wants him there with a nanny and no parent rather than with what we can assume is a loving father. More importantly, his father is present.

I think she just doesn't want to lose.

He is entitled to challenge it.

Roco is old enough to say if he wants to live with his dad. He is an equal parent. Why should it be the default that he should be with his mum just because....

Do you actually know her personally missbattleaxe? Because your posts really do read as though you must be personally acquainted with her to know as much about and be as invested in this situation as you seem to be.

No Nicki, of course not, but it is public knowledge that she is on tour right now and has been ever since she wanted him back in New York, even though she is not there.

I am allowed to speculate the same way everyone else is.

we can assume is a loving father
I wouldn't have an opinion on that. I have no idea about either of their capabilities as a parent.

fun it's not the default that he lives with his mum but it is what they legally agreed. I also have no issue with someone using the proper legal channels to challenge it. What I do have an issue with, is the easy time GR is getting in the press compared to the hard time Madonna is getting; and GR choosing to help Rocco go about it in this way instead of encouraging him to go back to NYC as the judge originally said, and then pursue the correct legal process from there.

I think Madonna's doing that all by herself. Guy has kept his gob shut.

I think anyone who deliberately posts images on instagram humiliating her son (hair in bunches?) is not helping her own cause. She embarrassed him in public and is now paying the price. It's no coincidence that he's shaved his hair off.

Personally, I can't stand the woman. She's, what - 5/6 years older than I am and I'm no prude, but by god she needs to put some clothes on, date age appropriate men and shut tf up.
