To be gobsmacked at Kate Ferdinand complaining about not getting a Mother’s Day card from her then-boyfriend Rio’s children

[AngeloMysterioso]

When she’d only been living with them six months, and moved in when they’d been together less than a year?! And their own actual mother had died of cancer?

I get that she was already taking a great deal of care of them and would have appreciated some acknowledgment of that, but this is just taking the piss.

Although it is lovely that she has taken three children on and loved them I don’t like her.

I think she is trying to erase their mother bit by bit. I was horrified when watching their documentary years ago that she had all photographs of their mother moved to a singular room (in this woman’s own home!) because SHE felt uncomfortable… She very much thinks of herself and feels she is entitled to a mother label when she is not their mother.

Like I say, she’s a good lady for loving them and supporting them like a mum but I just cannot see pst how jealous she gets of a lady who had to leave her children behind…

I've read this too that she was one of the "other" women

She is thick and self absorbed. Poor kids. Their mother is barely cold, their father has moved another woman in and now she is crying she didn’t get a Mother’s Day card just to fill content for a podcast 🤮 horrible woman.

Having read the full quote, I don't think it's unreasonable for her to think that Rio himself might get her a little something in recognition of her trying to step up for his kids.

This thread is disgusting and fucking vicious. I'm sure you'd all do a better job of bringing up three bereaved children?

Ah course you would. Bet you've never actually tried, though, eh?

Not really in the "spirit" is it. Vile.

Ex wife? They didn’t divorce!! She died of cancer!!

I find your ‘friend’ to be truly despicable to discuss this in her friend’s memory!

As for the super injunction info, you tell us! You have insider information!!

This is beautiful.

Mn will no doubt let it stand though, many double standards on this site!

Of course they will because Kate is a step mum and step mums don't count as real people!

This is so lovely ❤️

Who is she, and what is she influencing?

You were very touched??? He cheated on his wife, the mother of his children repeatedly! 😡

it must has been very difficult for Kate not having been a mum before, and then becoming a step mum to bereaved young children. I don’t think any one should judge, unless they have been in her shoes.

This thread is vile.

Are you a stepmum OP? I'm thinking not.

People on this thread spinning what was actually said to suit their agenda of SM bashing. Disgusting. You're all the reason most of us SM's want to run away from it all.

Exactly, literally can't do right for doing wrong. Because I'm certain if she'd said I moved in after 6 months, but didn't get involved, let Rio do the parenting, took a huge step back and was just dad's girlfriend and didn't do any parenting, she'd be called a cold hearted bitch. She'd be asked if she knew what she was getting into. She'd be accused of hating the kids (as she already has been anyway!) And ruining their lives and why wouldn't she step up as they don't have a mother figure and need one.

It's really easy to speculate when you know fuck all isn't it.

I don’t have a strong opinion either way on Kate. However, I do think that this post is unfairly representing her. After reading the full article she even said herself she understands why she didn’t get a card. I also think it’s doubtful that she was having an affair with Rio due to her age and other factors. Feel free to slate her for what she has done, but not what she hasnt

It’s really easy not the become a step mother - don’t go out with fathers 🤷‍♀️ And the thread is about the entitlement of a woman, a man’s new girlfriend, to huff because his bereaved children didn’t see her as their mother after six months of living with them. Like Kate you seem to have a problem differentiating between what’s about you and what isn’t

Except that's not what she was saying at all, was it? Let's not make shit up.

Eye roll central indeed. Full of shite.

@eyerollcentral your user name sums up nicely my reaction to your response.

What else was she saying then? It’s crass for an adult to be complaining that bereaved children didn’t see her as a mother after six months of living with them. Fgs the children don’t want their dead mother replaced.

She didn't say she wanted them to see her as their mother though, did she?

That would be "crass" but it's irrelevant because it's not what she fucking said!

@Birdsbirdsbirds like talking to a brick wall. They'll just respond with whatever suits their agenda of putting all us cheating, husband-stealing, evil stepmothers in our place.

Why???? An adult woman complaining about the fact bereaved children didn’t see her as a mother figure after six months is repulsive from her. If she didn’t want to have to care for bereaved children she shouldn’t have gotten involved with a father whose wife had just died. Hard as it is for some of you to contemplate, the children come first and they absolutely do when they have recently lost their mother.

If you aren’t a mother why would you be crying about not being bought a Mother’s Day card unless you wanted to be seen a mother???
