Is liam Payne co parenting?

Happy to be flamed but when you are wealthy, yet admit you don't see your baby/young child for weeks, you are not co parenting? Everyone has their own priorities and ambitions, but at least one parent needs to prioritise ambitions around their child? I'm not saying it's always the mum, but don't you are not parenting if you see your child once a month or so...

Yeah thatagain describing someone in the way you did with regards to Cheryl may well cause offence... not really your finest hour.

HauntedPinecone · 27/10/2019 13:50

Everyone can see that Cheryl used liam. She is getting old had some failed marriages so needed a baby before it was to late for her. Poor liam don't know what to do as he was usent. Or confused. If she did not use him they would still be together as you just do not get with someone for 2 years have a baby and say it's over she is a joke to her son and her sons dad

What a pile of utter wank.

Cheryl knew what she was doing, Liam is as bright as a blackout.

Bouledeneige · 27/10/2019 14:41

I saw him on Jonathan Ross last night. He seemed like an immature thicko and clearly a loser Dad. Yes he's old enough to be a good Dad as many men are - it's a choice about what kind of man you want to be. He's no role model for his son.

A little like the other Liam - Gallagher. He has now got to know one of his children whose life he was never part of - but hasn't bothered with his other illegitimate child.

I'm not sure I have much of an opinion of Cheryl's motivations (or brains). I presumed she just had terrible taste in men.

Sceptre86 · 27/10/2019 16:54

She wanted rich man to father a baby with and that is what she has. It is probably easier for her in the long run to parent her child on her own terms as Liam comes across as a numpty. It is a shame he choose not be involved as much with his child as clearly he has no financial need to work.

EmeraldShamrock · 27/10/2019 17:05

How do you all know Cheryl planned to trap liam to get pregnant.
Maybe just maybe she thought the relationship might work out, maybe she thought he respected her and her luck was going to change.
It didnt but it is not the first time she desperately reached for love.
Whatever the circumstances he is a father, a shit father .

HeresMe · 27/10/2019 17:08

Cheryl whatever her name is this week has terrible taste in men.

Liam Payne may be crap but stop judging this as a normal relationship, these 'stars' often don't live in a real world surrounded by yes men.

Cheryl ain't a normal single mother and has loads of support around her,. Stop worrying so much

Bluerussian · 27/10/2019 17:34

Cheryl is now 36 and her little boy is two so she is hardly old!

Liam Payne is not thick, he may be gauche.

They will both do their best for their baby.

SleepingStandingUp · 27/10/2019 18:02

How do you all know Cheryl planned to trap liam to get pregnant because she's a woman so it must be her fault. Because he's from 1D so can't be blamed for anything. Because he's just so YOUNG and doesn't know better than to have unprotected sex with anyone who asks.

They will both do their best for their baby seemingly only if he thinks best is to have no real relationship with hi.

middlemuddle · 27/10/2019 18:03

It's interesting that no matter how rich a woman is she's still perceived as a gold digger. Incredible internalised misogyny in here.

Venger · 27/10/2019 18:08

And in every short lived relationship, a baby is always the result of the woman trapping the man or using him in order to get pregnant. No man in the history of men has ever said "let's have a baby".

Iamnotagoddess · 27/10/2019 18:12

I don’t think she’s a gold digger.

I think she wanted a baby and chose someone with equal wealth do she didn’t have the hassle of paying someone off.

I think she is gay and he was a decent sperm donor and they have an arrangement 🤷‍♀️

OnlineShopping · 27/10/2019 18:12

It comes down to perspective about whether he is a rubbish father or not. Someone might have their own money, want a baby with someone who is easily manipulated and who will not be around much which allows them to do pretty much whatever they want with the child, and also be keen on having a vast amount of child maintenance for the future. For some people, they might not consider that a rubbish father. Most people and children prefer an active and involved father who is around as much of the time as possible.

At the end of the day it's none of our business.. Thought this site was for help and advice for parents.. Not discussing blinking TV stars private lives

Not at all. It may have been the original intention for the site.

Cheryl’s a parent. Liam’s a parent. The thread is about their parenting. Sounds legit to me.

It's the posting for traffic personified stop posting for traffic ffs

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 29/10/2019 23:55

Have we been invaded again by nethuns or is it just the 1d crazy fans? She isn't so old she had to get pregnant by just anyone

I had to look up the money thing , apparently AC is worth €50 million, LP €60 million

She's worth €40 million herself which surprised me, thought it would be more but I very much doubt she needs any man for his money

PrimalLass · 31/10/2019 09:51

If I remember correctly, Louis Tomlinson also has a son who he barely sees.

Louis seems to be in LA every three weeks or so I think. And yes, after the 1d threads a few years ago I do keep an eye on all this.

FavouriteSoul · 31/10/2019 11:01

Louis Tomlinson does appear to be a lot more involved with his son's life, considering they live in different countries. That's despite the crazy section of fans who still think that, for some bizarre reason, he's just pretending the child is his, and despite the fact the little boy looks just like him.

Drogosnextwife · 31/10/2019 11:07

Well I don't think we need to worry it's not as though she isvstruging for money of people to care for her child while she works.
Is he a useless dad? I have no idea I wouldn't waste my time reading anything about them. Think they are the last people you need to worry yourself about though.
