Katie Price and the rift with her kids?

[youreactinglikeafunmum]

I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

Only Katie Price could interviews about what a great mum she is whilst having her children taken into care. Her naive idiot fan girls will defend her to the hilt, it’s never, ever her fault.

She is 18. She can do what she wants as she is legally an adult. She wants to be a businesswoman and this is how she has chosen to do it. She is very different to the Love Island types. She is doing ok.

And I wish everyone would stop using the word “pimped”. How would you like it if someone said that about you and your kids?

I don’t think the kids are being pimped - clearly it’s their choice and preferable - more lucrative and more flexible than getting a 9-5.

It’s not an informed choice at 18. Adults don’t fully develop their judgement centres in their brains until they’re 25. She is an adult legally but as responsible parents they might realise she is a young adult and therefore may benefit from some protection from over exposure. FWIW this is also why I have a problem with PA marrying EA when she was so young!

Well Harvey is 100% being pimped out as he cant consent at all. And yet she is there now flogging him on Cameo for thirty odd quid a time. He wont see any of that money, and she has allegedly already spent the trust fund that Dwight set up for Harvey.

Well, take that argument to its logical conclusion and you'd need to raise the legal age for marriage to 25 then? For everyone? Or just Emily Andre?

Not really. We have laws that are a basic failsafe and often use our judgement to create a pleasant society that is well beyond that base minimum. It is illegal (affray) to shout in the street, and polite to say excuse me/thankyou.

I’m not suggesting either Princess’s career or EAs marriage are illegal, but simply potentially decisions both could have had more time to make.

Katie Price neglects her children so badly they are taken into care, and lies about it for years, but it’s all Peter Andres fault.
Go figure.

Yes, and yet some on here are more concerned about a mature and intelligent 36 year old mother of three, who's been married for over ten years (happily, if you believe what you can quite clearly see) because they think she married too young.

That is absolutely disgusting

So you shouldn’t be empowered to make decisions about your career and future until youre 25?

Well what a load of nonsense
People can be working in highly responsible professionals younger than 25. ( nurses, teachers etc). And how old was she when she married PA. Wasn't she 24 ! Hardly young.
talk about infantalising the younger generations!

If you watch Princess Diaries you’ll see that Princess and Junior have very strict boundaries put in place by Peter. They seem decent kids and Emily being in their lives has obviously helped. She has a great relationship with her stepdaughter according to Princess.
Princess definitely does not want to follow her mum’s footsteps but go down the Kylie Jenner beauty business route - good on her why not? KP obviously wants to step into Princesses world despite letting her down in the past.
I think Peter gets a very bad press for trying to earn a crust - I watched his reality show with KP and the way she spoke to him was awful.
Marrying Emily was probably the best thing he’s done, she seems lovely.

I think people just like to gossip. That's why sometimes you get threads that OP has only made one post, never returned but you get hundreds of gossiping, guessing, bitching, henclucking replies.
Literally hundreds!

I'm as guilty, because I enjoy reading them 😁

Utter tosh
I made some brilliant decisions at 17-22 years old and some crazy ones when I was a lot older.
What would the world come to if we all waited until we’re in our mid 20s to decide stuff - haha!!

I woke up at 5am restless (menopause) and read this thread. Went back to sleep and had the weirdest dream that Emily A was being awful to me, really bitchy. I have no doubt that she’s a lovely lady, always seems very sweet and classy compared to KP, so no clue why my dream took me there!

Princess is interviewed in the Guardian today

I read this earlier and the below part just made me really sad. She seems so desperate to keep the peace with her mum and knows KP would kick off on the phone. Typical narc behaviour from KP, and typical response to narc behaviour from Princess who has learnt how to deal with her mum over the years.
Ah, but this time it isn’t the media twisting the knife, Giddings says. “It was your mum that put that story out there.”“Yeah,” Andre says, searching for a diplomatic response. “Which is … interesting.”“That was Kate that said all of that about her and her family not being invited,” Giddings continues.Why don’t you just ring your mum and ask her what she is playing at, I suggest. No, she says, it’s not worth it. “Mum can be annoyed about something and then we send each other a message and we’re fine.”

Yeah, just read it - I have a lot of time for Simon, he's an excellent journalist and it is clear here that he has pulled any instincts to delve deeper, as he can see her vulnerability.
It is also clear that she does care about her mum, still loves her despite everything and does not want to bad mouth her. Trauma bonded or not, or just able to see the trauma in her mum, she isn't drawn on anything and her manager is protective/shrewd throughout.
It is a shame that despite a private education, she only ended up with three GCSEs and not in the core subjects, but if she can make money via makeup promotion then she should accrue as much as she can now and invest it wisely.
Comments are off - again, a good way to protect her. Eighteen or not, she is still vulnerable in my eyes and deserves a break.

Yes @LuckysDadsHat and at her age, only just 18, saying her Mum’s house was “scary” really raises alarm bells about what exactly went on. I think she’s being very diplomatic indeed.

The "scary" part could have referred to the fact that Katie is on record as saying numerous times that she believed the house was haunted. I think Jett used to sleep in a tent in the hall as he was scared upstairs. Certainly, the dark windows and wood everywhere could have added to a brooding atmosphere, particularly in winter in the dark.

She seems like a very lovely, well adjusted girl and I feel so sorry for her and Junior imagining what they’ve been through. She still does seem protective of her mum, which is understandable, it’s her mum, she’s so young and I hope she’ll be ok in this business. If I was her parent I wouldn’t want her being in the limelight in any way whatsoever

Simon won't have chosen that headline, someone else will as clickbait. Princess was very careful in what she said. It's what she doesn't say. It's a bit naughty of the editor because she will hate that headline, even though it's the truth. I hope she does well in her life.

"No. It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it.” Again, she doesn’t go into details. “I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere you don’t like the place.”

It will have been the memories of what she was exposed to there (chaos, mess, broken things, arguments, drama, paraphernalia) more than the supernatural. That's a bit of a stretch.

Well the "maybe my house is haunted" thing might also be a massive displacement exercise to explain away desperately unhappy home circumstances as Evidence of an ghostie👻 but yes
