To think the Beckham kids are never off a plane or go to school ?

[Radyward]

I mean seriously- they appear to be such frequent flyers esp transatlantic. The whole clan en masse in NYC /LA or wherever. I mean how do they cope with the jet lag and attend school full time. It appears so cleverly packaged the celebrity extended family. Also cant link but todays pictures of VB wearing a baby pink stripy curtain. She looks so dead pan all the time and unhappy
Wish she would just ditch the sunglasses !

If one more person says "impeccably polite" or "down to earth" I'm going to
scream. Just saying.

Oh stop it those being snide and mean!

They look a lovely family and both the parents have worked bloody hard to get to the top of their careers. Good for them.

And so what if she doesn’t smile all the time.,so bloody what why should she.

Dear me

She is odd.

And I'm sure their parents are very good role models to them for what having rock solid work ethic can achieve you.

So you approve of DB and his tax dodging then do you? Great role model he is

Children of high achieving parents often only enjoy any success purely because of who their parents are. Huge wealth will open the door to practically anything they want to do, they're never going to feel the same level of achievement that ordinary kids will feel .

VB was in a famous band, he was a footballer, it's highly unlikely the kids will do the same. Can't see where the role modelling comes in, apart from selling every aspect of your life to the media.

Pooh grapes are very sour today

BitOutOfPractice, no that isn’t what logical is saying! She said that VB likes us to think she’s like other mums. I thought it was pretty clear

Obviously I'm not being clear either. I am saying she is exactly like any other mother who uses paid for childcare. Good grief!

She did have a wealthy upbringing,being picked up from your private school in your dad's Rolls is hardly normal.

And why not? I think travel is great for children, if and this is a big if, the education they are receiving elsewhere is up to scratch. I honestly believe that some schools think full attendance somehow makes up for the poor schooling some receive. I am not knocking teachers, but not all education has the same value to a student. I've seen schools in July fill weeks with anything but teaching and then fine a parent for taking their child on holiday early, when all they are missing out on is trips to the zoo and sport.

Toomany She didn't go to private school. She went to St Mary's in Cheshunt. St Mary's is well rough.

I thought the pic was a snake head.

I imagine having private tutors and also the wealth/ability to travel could provide many more opportunities for education than attending the local school to be honest! Parents on here are always saying that travel is educational for children and broadens their education. I’m sure if the children chose to be academic they have every support to be. And one on one tuition/teaching is great for educating the individual child.

I thought the pic was a snake head

So did I.

But then I thought maybe he's some kind of snake charmer and persuaded it to be an elephant.

Or Mickey Mouse from the back.

I thought it was an ostrich's head right up close to the camera

BitOutOfPractice no i'm sorry you still didn't get it. Earlier in the thread a poster was talking about how she felt so tired and alone feeding her baby in the middle of the night, then she read that VB feels so tired because SHE was having to see to her baby in the middle of the night too. I pointed out that it wasn't quite the same, the poster was doing it all herself, VB wasn't.

Nothing wrong with that but hardly comparable.
Just what is it about that that you find hard to understand.

I really want to like her. She's been around for my whole life and is an icon of my time.

I just wish she came across a bit more, well, fun. Like Pink - now she's cool.

I want to let me her too. I admire her work ethic but the way they push their dc into the world spotlight makes me think she and David incredibly stupid.

I just hate the stuff with their kids. Brooklyn irritates me beyond belief and all that "kisses from Harper" stuff is nauseating.

Everyone of them irritate the hell out of me. Don't understand all the love of them. So far removed from anyone on here, might as well be on another planet.

How on earth do you think vb feeds her baby without being there?!

That was to logicalmum!

I wonder what you find hard to understand about that? Patronising much?

Logical You just sound bitter and jealous now.

*logicalmum I assume you have it on good authority then that VB nor DB did over night feeds? No idea if she breastfed, but just because she had a Nanny doesn't mean she didn't didn't get up to her willing kid in the night
