Size Zero Mother with 13 Children

[mumemma]

I could weep - I've only had two and I didn't even look like that before I got pregnant!

She has for someone who's supposed to be a size 0

She's SHORT. Size 0 deals with waist size.

It's easier for short people to reach size 0.

I used to be size 0. I'm 5ft., 4in. and have a slender frame.

My best friend in the US is a grandmother and a size 0. She's 48. She's 5ft., 2in. and slender framed.

Doesn't diet or exercise at all.

She's just small.

Hillary you have a twisted idea of huge, love.

That explains my ratio/weight -for my weight my correct height - I think should be 8' 4' !

hmm just dont recon to those arms fitting into a size 0 top.

genetics - some people are naturaaly slim and some - me included - are destined to be lard arses

and Devilsadvocate - it not legal to have 13 kids

and Saint George - you or I may not choose those names but what right do you have to say' don't get me started on the names'
Why are you trying to stir up trouble ?

But that doesn't make them huge! You do have to have a certain amount of muscle to be functional, you know! She has so many kids her arms must be getting a permenant workout.

never heard of sise zero till recently - when I was young a 10 was super skinny

Perhaps its just her waist then thats a size 0.

I know about size honey been dieting all my life.

size zero = 31.5 bust, 23 waist, 34 hips

one of my daughters (age 16) is a size 4-6 bust and waist (32/23) but size 10 for hips (36/37)(5'4/8st))

another one is 4'8 (age 12) and perfect size zero lol (not that I want her to be, she is just petite and no doubt will get bigger as she hits puberty)

I hope that woman doesn't come on here....how can people make such assumptions from one photo is beyond me

Maybe that's the problem - you think that size zero is normal and arms that aren't size zero are huge.

they really are not huge.

I've never been on a diet in my life. I was just fit and loved to climb and hillwalk. That was all it took.

Tall people, it'd be harder to be size 0, if not impossible.

It's media bullshit.

Victoria Beckham is short. So is Kylie Minogue. So is Nicole Ritchie.

I used to work in a jeans shop - I think a 34" hip was a size 10?? maybe I'm wrong - you had (in my teens) size 10, 12 and 14 - so was a ten a 34" hip? each size goes up by 2"
just confused by the size zero i keep hearing about

i seeeeeeeee i think

M&S size 14 was a 36 - though now increased by half an inch so 34 must have been a size 12

"I loved nothing better than spending time with Natasha and all the other children since."

why name one child and not the others. ok i understand you can't name 13 children in once sentence it would take forever, but don't just name one!!

some of you said she looks older than 36. i think looking after 13 kids might make you look a bit haggered. and its not impossible to be a grandmother a 36. she had her first child at 18, and now her eldest who is 18 has has a child. the maths is quite simple.

i think it is more that shes got lots of children that it has made the news. i reckon a woman of any size who had 13 kids would make the news!

i used to have a size 24 waist and was a size 6 so if her waist is 23 inches its very possible she is a 4. also when i was a 24 inch waist i was 7.5 stone so it isn't always about weight. i was probably about 5ft 2 or 3 at the time.

So what?

So she's had 13 kids and she's happy and has a good marriage with a man who works and is naturally slim and all the sudden because of that she's ugly and a minger and chav?

WTF?!

Talk about the green monster.

If she were Lady Whatever and some novelist living on a country estate in Glouchestershire would your reaction be different?

Look in the mirror and ask yourselves that.

And if the answer is 'yes', then give yourselves a good slap in the face.

FFS.

My great-grandmother was 36 and had 13 children.

Guess she was some chav, ugly minger.

Thanks a lot.

Fucking ponces.

they all look like little angels and so alike too!

also just cos she has 13 kids why do you all assume she wouldn't be a good mum, be on benefits, living in a council house? and even if she was why would this make her a bad mum.

i don't see whats so wrong with her main achievment being her family? not everyone is career driven. i think its lovely.

her tops not that bad and how can you tell its cheap? it doesn't really show much of her tummy off though. iv got loads of tops that do that. i wouldn't be embarassed if my mum looked and dressed like that though. although does it open at the front or are my eyes seeing things? her jeans could do with being a bit better fitting but i suppose its hard to get stuff in such a small size. i do think her boobs look a bit out of proportion mind you!

however have you seen what britney spears has been wearing lately? if her kids were older how embarassed do you think they'd be?!

Sizes have got smaller over the 10 years for sure. What is an 6/8 now was 10 when I was a teen

I am now a heffer (lol) 8 years ago, I dieted and went down to 12st 9lb.....I almost got into a size 16 but not quite

3 years ago I dieted to 13st 9lb and I almost got into a size 16

I now weigh 15st 7lb and I wear an 18?????? Work that one out!

Sizes have got smaller

I think a lot of people were having a bit of a light hearted bitch about this originally, especially because it was in the Daily Woman Hater. At least, I don't genuinely look down on the woman, I am just sick of the Mail featuring these stupid 'women's interest' stories.

'Look at this career bitch who lets nannies look after the 10 kids she obviously shouldn't have been allowed to have...' followed the next week by 'Look at this council estate chavvy in a football top who lets the state pay for the 10 kids SHE shouldn't have been llowed to have '...etc etc etc

It's all bollox.

So Mums come in all different shapes and sizes. What a revellation.

mommajools - can I ask why you decide to pick my post out and accuse me of trying to stir up trouble?

I made a minor off-hand comment. I did not slag off any particular names, or make nasty comments about the woman or her family choices.

If you are going to bad mouth people, maybe you should reserve it for people a bit nastier than little old me. Or you may see the nasty side of me come out.

And FWIW I think your will find the DevilsAdvocate has NOT posted on this thread.

I thought she looked great. As for money, she would get £139.10 per week or £603 per month child benefit for starters, plus CTCs etc, which we are all entitled to.

So what about size 0? She didn't sound that bothered, either.
