to smirk about Ulrika Johnson's predicament

OK I probably am being horrible but I couldn't help but laugh hearing that people are calling Ulrika Johnson 4 X 4 - aparently it has really upset her.

Sorry, I'm not meaning to imply you're an idiot (again). I'm talking in the abstract.

The insult "she has saggy tits" is one which refers to something which happens to all women either after a couple of pregnancies (or in some cases, just one) or with age. It is a criticism of UJ just for being a mother/ a woman of a certain age.

If you want to criticise her for something specific, fine, but criticising her on the basis solely of what she is, is just pathetic imo.

LittleSleighBellasRinging · 11/12/2007 19:47

LOL kitty, really?

Would you like to talk me through them?

OK I am in a bad mood and need an early night and this thread plus the daily mail pissed me off.

Sorry if I'm over-reacting fircone, it's not your comment which originally wound me up.

I promise to go to bed early and come back tomorrow in a sweet temper.

LittleSleighBellasRinging · 11/12/2007 19:48

But first I'm going to rampage around the board and look for a fight.

minouminou · 11/12/2007 19:50

i just twocked ya sleigh! come on, then!

PrisonerCellBlockAitch · 11/12/2007 19:53

aw that's mean. i think poor old ulrika has been looking for love in all the wrong places but she seems like a laugh. remember that doc around about the Sven stuff, her son seemed like an absolute darling.

KITTYmaspudding · 11/12/2007 19:56

Aitch, that sounds positively rude, but I think you're onto something there

I quite like Ulrika, she's made some bad choices but who hasn't. And as for saggy tits, well I need a forklift truck to hoist mine up in the morning, so you won't find that I'm one of her 'knockers'

mumzyof2 · 11/12/2007 21:40

There are plenty of AWFUL mothers that have four children all by the same guy, and some FANTASTIC mothers that have 4 children by four different men.
I have two children by two different men. Millions of women do. I really dont see why it matters if everyone is happy and healthy?!
Were not in the 50's.

Judy1234 · 11/12/2007 22:00

My 5 have the same father but there might even be a genetic and evolutionary argument that you're better having several as you kind of widen the gene pool for the benefit of man kind etc.

Monkeytrousers · 11/12/2007 22:08

You never learn, do you Xenia?

Nightynight · 11/12/2007 22:54

this thread really pisses me off. ALL single mothers with 4 children will now be called 4x4 by spiteful tittletattlers, dont you realise??? Especially if, like mine, they have very different hair/skin colour. Great, fantastic, how f**g witty.

I used to live in a village where there was a woman with 10 children, people spread the most shocking rumours that they all had different fathers - The poor woman had been married once, divorced and remarried. The spite of some people is incredible.

Nightynight · 11/12/2007 22:57

wish to make it clear, that I am not criticising UJ, her family is none of my business. But single mothers do not need another stick for stupid people to hit them with.

lucyellensmum · 11/12/2007 23:01

Xenia, you make a good point there.

I am a 2 x 2, so i am doing my bit

MrsSchadenfreude · 11/12/2007 23:49

But being a 4x4 is better than being the town bus (in that everyone has ridden on her) no?

KITTYmaspudding · 12/12/2007 07:35

I like pantoinghousewife's comment about UJ's bad choices. WEll so far she's made at least three HUGE ones as far as men are concerned, that's crappy.
I don't really buy into the "hey we all make mistakes" malarky.
She courts the publicity, she needs the money It brings in. She should think more carefully before having children with such unsuitable partners, again and again. perhaps after the first 2 she might have thought "Hmm my judgment about a suitable life partner and father for me children is a bit shit, let's hold fire on having more children with the next bloke who comes along and see if he really is the right one for me"

I personally don't care how many children she has with however many men she wants, good luck to her. I hope she does find someone who will support her and make her happy. We all deserve that.

However, I can pass judgments if I so wish and so can anyone else.

NappiesGaloriaInExcelsis · 12/12/2007 07:47

have scanned thread.

find it distasteful and pathetic.

what kind of a shit is amused by other peoples parentage? other peoples mistakes?

Parp.

UniversallyChallenged · 12/12/2007 08:53

Nappies if people court publicity then they have to put up with negativity too. Not saying I agree with mocking her children, that's nasty, but she is in the mags getting more money than most of us earn in a year just for one article parading her soul mate, then moans when people dare have a POV about her life choices.

I think that's what a lot find distasteful.

It's like the AIBU threads - dont post on them if you just want all to agree with you. People can and will say their opinion if you put it out there for public consumption

awayinNaeManger · 12/12/2007 09:12

did anyone see her on that art hting on the beeb ages ago. where they sent slebs to art school. admittedly i didn't watch it all but what i did see she was horrible.
saying it was the 'best time of her life' (that made me feel bad for her kids. 'sorry love, but that show i did for tv was better than even the best day with you)
crying all the time, blah blah blah. Some people actually went to art school for more than a week. we didn't cry all the time and whatever.
anyway, as others have said before me: if you put yourself out there like that it ain't gonna be all kittens and puppies. no one would bother with her if she didn't keep getting into mags. go get a job in a shop and disappear, then no one will care how many baby-daddies you ahve.

NappiesGaloriaInExcelsis · 12/12/2007 09:25

im not talking about having an opinion on her. feel free.

i just find the opinion that someone who has children by different fathers is automatically a laughing stock, or actually, what is inferred, a bad or wrong person... well, it is my opinion that that opinion is a load of shit.

frankly.

Monkeytrousers · 12/12/2007 10:12

Actually, big 'breeders' are doing the west a favour. We are heading for a demographic crisis, as is happening in Europe, as those from more fundamentalist cultures are 'out-breeding' liberals (and that's left or right liberals, anyone who agrees with sperarion of church and state).

elliot3 · 12/12/2007 10:21

never mind the fathers of her children etc - has anyone ssen this week's Hello magazine - hwat has she done to herself Is that a facelfit or cheek implants or ... she looks weird
