@ABirdsEyeView That’s what the judge thought. KW pays for these children so I cannot see how he’s ducked that. It’s not a great situation all round but LG has just used these children. KW hasn’t. Although his latest baby did make an appearance at the Etihad. Presumably to show he’s committed to that family.

'How was she to know he wasn't going to be a 'proper dad'? He is a dad to his other kids. He has a successful career. He has zero excuses. Blaming her for his failure to parent is just pure misogyny'.

Because he's married to someone else and the kids are the result of an affair? That's never going to result in a good outcome, especially when he's chosen to remain with his wife - can't see her welcoming them with open arms! Men like KW invariably do what's easier and best for themselves. So I think this outcome was always on the cards and she didn't care - her kids are her pay day. I'm not going to defend a woman just because she's a woman. KW is actually better than her because at least he's paying for his kids upkeep, which is more than LG is doing. She isn't even looking after them properly, parading them around, exposing them to all this publicity.

Jesus, what kind of men do you have in your life that you think this is acceptable? You're either trolling now or you have very low standards.

Paying for his kids is a legal requirement. Parenting is the hard work (can't believe I have to type that on MUMSNET 😂) and he's not doing any of it. If she's such a crazy b*tch he should file for custody. But he won't. Because he doesn't actually care and his actions have made that clear.

I mean could you really co parent with a person who would run off selling stories?

Let’s be honest here. There would be nothing no rock unturned when KK got back to hers would there. Be an interrogation. Fell over for a bruise it would be neglect.

Shes already tried to accuse Annie of things and tried to use that as an excuse to get a neighbour to spy.

Claims from one side say that kyle and Annie where willing to welcome K and meet with the R’s but Lauryn said no not unless she was also there…. Not a third party but she had to be there.

I don't think misogyny means what you think it means 🤣

Posted to lo soon. What I mean is we aren't here hating on her because she's a woman. She just sounds like a really nasty person (regardless of gender).

It doesn't matter, he has a legal team to sort out custody. He hasn't. That's all you need to know.

Disagreeing with you doesn't mean a person is trolling.

I think you're missing what LG has actually done here. I would very much dispute that she's doing the hard slog of parenting, what with all the expenses she's claimed for nannies and the big house and fuck tons of child support she's getting. She isn't comparable to a single mum doing it all on her own.
Look at how she's actually looking after these children - the parading them around, using them for publicity and to taunt AK. Her kids are her pay day - she's not a decent mother imo.
KW might be a shit parent to them but he's paying their bills, their mum is neither paying their bills or looking after them properly!

He's paying because he's forced to by law. Applauding him like he's done something positive when he's refusing to parent the children he co-created is just embarrassing.

I think the point is more that those kids have two incompetent parents. One who refuses to see them because of his relationship with his wife and other children although he does pay for them, and the other who has them in photos all over social media in football shirts with Daddy written on them and even accepted money to take the little boy to the Euros but who admittedly is bringing them up be herself.
The court notes are pretty shocking in relation to her behaviour and the judge refused to keep the paperwork private due to the fact that LG had already pushed her kids into the spotlight and was now only asking for privacy when it suited to her. It also noted how far she had gone to cause distress and upset to AK.

OhmygodDont · 31/07/2024 14:17

We all know dads can be deadbeats. I just reckon it wouldn’t be worth the hassle of trying to co parent with a person like her.

Maybe when they are older say teenagers it might work when they can have a bit more of their own voices and some freedoms.

The bar isn’t low accepting that a man who didn’t want the kids and made clearly he didn’t doesn’t currently have a relationship with them but does make sure they are provided for to the extent let’s face it mum doesn’t need to work or look after then. Thus the nanny and preschool.

OhmygodDont · 31/07/2024 14:19

His also paying more and the extras more than the court deemed he needed to as well so his not paying bare minimum legally required either.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 31/07/2024 14:20

'How was she to know he wasn't going to be a proper dad' - eh I think due to the fact he was married to someone else with a family of his own might've given her an inkling that he was never going to accept and be father of the year to the first kid, never mind the second. She went on to have the second knowing he had no interest in co-parenting with her and he saw her as an easy shag. She willingly put her second child into that by getting pregnant. Least he's paying.

He's absolutely vile but so is she. Women have to take responsibility for their own actions and contraception too.

For sure. And I posted as much earlier. It's holding KW up as being some kind of better person for paying for his kids when he doesn't see them and blaming the mother for his actions that's just beyond cringeworthy.

PenguinCounter · 31/07/2024 14:33

I'm not saying he's a better person? Just that she's a really shit mother.

Lemony3 · 31/07/2024 14:43

I’m not sure it matters who’s the better person/parent.
Most single mothers having a baby with someone already in a relationship wouldn’t give the child the father’s surname or turn up when he’s at work. If the father isn’t involved I would probably mention him to my child as little as possible. Not post on
my social media about child wanting to see daddy etc. Most single mothers would also be over the moon to be given a house. That would be enough. But it has been said that she has bribed and pushed him for money. That’s bullying.
He could see his children they have a nanny and no contact with their mother. But he’s involved himself physically and then acted out of guilt to her demands. She has acted like she has has won the lottery. Financially. Maybe it was a relationship, maybe she was let down by him. But I’m sure she knew he was rich and to get pregnant twice makes me think she is quite clever. He clearly is not. But is showing a whole lot of guilt to the family he already had.

I think they are both a disgrace. Apparently his wife tried to stop him seeing the kids he has with Lauryn so she can get in the bin too.

Tbh I know it's wrong. However Annie has been with Kyle for years! She was also pregnant when Lauryn decided to txt her she's pregnant with baby no 2. I'm not usually a bitter person or would encourage this kind of thing... I used to like Lauryn but for someone to sh*g someone else's DH TWICE and have 2 DC from it. It's unbelievable of LG she also claimed to have difficulty getting pregnant over the years.... well there's been no issues with KW.

It's her audacity for me to flaunt around. Have you seen the breakdown of how much she demanded in court recently?

pregnant by who. Or where her old boyfriends not rich enough to be worth naming and papering 😅

edit. As in trying to get pregnant by who.

Didn't AK get pregnant again after knowing what KW had done? Why are some people demonising LG for doing that but not AK? 3 of those DC have been brought into the world as part of the pick me dance. The nanny I can understand, if he doesn't see the DC why shouldn't he be expected to provide a nanny for 50% of the week? Much of the rest is obviously ridiculous. The majority of footballers and their wives are a bloody shit show.

That's AK perogative in life. She's sacrificed her life, she's choosen to stand by the man which is HER OWN DH. There's no excuse for LG twice over. Hiw anybody can defend LG twice is a joke. I agree with the poster who said KW doesn't seem very intelligent a d LG is quite clever! She's laughing all the way to the bank and back. YET she is still in the media with NO shame WHY??

TizerorFizz · 31/07/2024 15:45

Why did she think getting pregnant by KW was a good idea? It clearly looks like so she can get money. He’s obviously a complete idiot and didn’t want his wife to know. However like many men, he won’t be a true father to dc conceived in this way. Why on earth would he want to be the resident parent? Dc will have to decide what they want when they are older but LG has given them a lot of press they didn’t deserve. They won’t go short of anything and of course a man might come into their lives who could be a great dad. Although many will be concerned about being used for money now.

£8K a month when he earns £175K a WEEK!

Considering how useless CMS for the rest of us Single mothers. It's an obscene amount of money. She's also mortgage free at her young age. Someone quoted 2.5 M for the house she lives in. I'm sorry but if thats the case 50% of that money should be put in a child's trust fund. She gives women a bad name!

OhmygodDont · 31/07/2024 15:53

House over 2mil which oldest K owns 10%, new car for upto 51k every 3 years, he pays for/towards holidays, birthday parties. He pays for all the nanny, preschool and school fee’s once they start school too. She had a housing allowance, she had a maternity nanny too think that was 27k?, she got 30k just to buy new baby stuff, just been awarded another 5k for little ones bedroom stuff. 12.5k a month in maintenance. Will pay for a Nannie’s car if nanny has a drivers licence. Oldest K has money in a trust fund too think it was 75k.

Installed cctv system, new electric gates and all sorts. read the documents lol

Baring in mind his on that now not forever and won’t have been on that forever either.

and he has four other children not just Lauryns to provide for and clearly house.

It is reductive and offensive, sorry you can't see that. At the end of the day there are real live children involved in this mess - do they deserve to have their mother described in this way? It is bad enough that the case has attracted so much negative attention. Just call her his ex no need to use this term.

Saying she's an ex would imply they had a relationship. Mistress perhaps?

OP posts:
TizerorFizz · 31/07/2024 16:21

She’s not an ex. Mistress also describes a relationship more than 2 one night stands. I’m not sure exactly what this was but I guess the court papers describe her!

ABirdsEyeView · 31/07/2024 17:19

If I was him I wouldn't have given her half of what he's paid out. Certainly not that lavish house. And I'd expect her to manage her own expenses on £8,000 per month. Don't know why she needs a nanny, she hasn't got a job!
In his shoes, I'd pay child support and for a decent house to live in until the dc we're adults, school fees, but that's it - she could pay for her own extras from the generous child support he's paying her. And she could get a job and earn some dignity and self respect, instead of free loading off him.
