I used to think that posh came across as a really loving caring mum who had her priorities right.
Brooklyn seemed to go every where with her and there were lots of pics in the press of her dressed down out shopping etc with him. I really admired the way she juggled work and family life and respected the way she prefered not have a nanny but have family members help out.

In fact she said several times in interviews and I believe in her book that it was v important to her not to have a nanny, but to raise brooklyn as a family unit.

Am I the only one to think this has totally gone out of the window since she had Romeo.
That poor baby seems to have hardly seen his mother since he was born.
He has been taken to hospital 3 times in 5 weeks and only one of those times was his mother in the same country as him.
Not to the mention that those two kids must have no stucture or routine to there lives at all.
One minute there in Madrid the next London Then Manchestwr, then New York then Japan.
How many air miles has Romeo clocked up in just 14 mths. And how healthy is this?
To me she seems incredibly selfish, She has millions in the bank for gods sake, she can afford to cut back a little on the globe trotting surley even if just for a few months so the kids can settle in one place and perhaps she could be bothered to finally enrole brookly in school.
Rant over

Sorry I seem to have lost the plot here. I have always admired the Beckhams cos' the're normal (as such). But I do wonder about the 'work' that Mrs B does. What work is that then?

I think it's worse to say that you want to punch her. Why would you say that Thomcat?

I'm not being serious FairyMum, it was just me being silly
I actually siad I'd love her to give me an excuse, ie, knocking into my DD as she rushes out of Gucci, so I can punch that pathetic pout off her face. I'm not being serious, well not really (!), I just don't think much of her, she irritates me. I was just trying to express that while I don't like her I wouldn't question her skills as a mother.
You'd send Kate Moss to prison for smoking when she was pregnant and I'd like to slap Mrs Beckham for being a stuck up stupid cow!!
