to think it's a bit weird that Bryan McFadden is fighting so that his MOTHER can have custody of this own children?

[FreddysTeddy]

Not a Kerry Katona rant, this one, but I read something today about how Bryan McFadden is fighting her for custody. Apparently he wants his mother to have custody of his girls, and not KK.

I know this could well be made-up tabloidy bollocks, but if it's true, am I the only one who thinks it's weird? I mean, fight for custody by all means but doesn't he want to live with them himself?

You're right. He could choose to be in the UK, and I have no idea if his romance was the only reason he moved.

It wasn't the removing him from KK's care bit that I though was weird - it was the not going for custody of them himself part.

Ah I've heard of atomic kitten [doddery icon]

You're assuming he doesn't want to care for his children full time (which may be true). I'm assuming his professional life would make it impossible for him to be around enough to care for them full time (which may not be true).

Either way - and for whatever reason - he certainly moved a long way away from them.

If my professional life made it impossible to provide a stable parenting influence to my children then I'd consider a career change, but I guess that's just me.

Surely if his mum wants them or thinks their environment is unsuitable, she should be trying to get custody?

Oh - and. Is there really any evidence that she is still taking illegal drugs?

Agree Beaniesteve, just don't understand why it's his Mum going for custody and not him. However, as nametaken says, he could already have gone for custody and lost.

I agree with freddysteddy
so you live in Oz, think your kids are being brought up by a mum with issues and an allegedly drug dealing husband, you move back over and fight for custody

well I would at any rate

or even shared custody with his mum

but maybe none of it is true anyway!

Dunno, who mentioned drugs?

Let's hope it's all tabloid made-up bollocks.

Poor kids if not.

the tabloids, every day!

i read about this in a crappy mag. if he wants his kids so bad why doesn't he move to ireland. he is as bad as her. poor kids.

Ah, I see Posie.

Well, I'm off now. Apologies if anyone was offended by this thread, am having a judgy moment this evening, and was trying to work out if there was more to it than meets the eye.

It is of course possible that his new partner doesn't want him to get custody of the DC because she either thinks or knows that he would expect her to give up work and look after them. It is possible that he is one of these men who expects the women around him to do all the caretaking work while he's off doing his important Man stuff. (Again, lawyers, I don't know, just idle speculation not accusations).

Madamez mentioned drugs, bur generally this is the crux of the matter isn't it?

what tele apperances brian mcfatten is shit ansd so is kk, those poor kids better off with his mim

Well I think the crux of the matter is that apart from McFaddens mother, there isn't anyone else those children could go to is there?

i just feel so sorry for those poor girls

OK - why do you feel sorry for 'those poor girls'? because they are basically hounded by the press? because their mum is bi-polar? Because they are in a step family?

because they are caught up in all this stuff. they are most likely happy, loved and looked after though.

Because everything printed in Heat and the News of the World is true?

(oh dear I misread a name and thought I had writen that post duh)

this is public melt down acrimonious custody battle.KK has BPAD and is clearly troubled.i do worry about the girls and the impact of such acrimonious divisive squabbling splitting them. maybe more conducive and amicable to the children to try amicably settle and arrange visitation
