Wonder why she doesn't get any backlash on here about her ss not being very involved?
I might be wrong but to me it seems like he isn't present for much..
They're in Turkey atm and I don't think he's there, now if someone was to post on here about how they want to go on holiday with just her kids and not dsc they would get absolutely ripped to pieces, am I wrong?

Or perhaps she is just respecting his, or his mother’s, or his father’s, wishes that he is kept out of the limelight?
Perhaps he couldn’t or didn’t want to go on the holiday.

If she posted about him she would get accessed of exploiting him.
She doesn’t post about him and gets accused of ignoring him.

Can’t win.

I guess sharing picture/info about your own children on social media is very different to sharing about step-children. Maybe people recognise that they have little/no info about her relationship/the arrangement with her step sons mother.

I would assume that the child's mother wants to kept him out of the spot light.

NIce bit of casual sexism there.

She gets loads of grief about it on her Instagram and she's explained plenty of times about respecting his mother's wishes.

Why are you focussing on her and not his father?

From the article:

One fan replied: “If you followed the page enough, you would know. It's his mother's decision and Stacey and Joe respect that.”

Another said: “Because his biological mom wants to keep him out of the spotlight. I remember Stacey once saying that at home he’s in every photo, it’s just not posted online.”

Stacey previously opened up about why she doesn’t include Harry in the family photos, saying: "I got loads and loads of comments, and I get these comments quite a lot, asking about all of our children in my photos.

"Unfortunately it’s not something I’m able to do, otherwise I’d do it all the time. All the kids are a massive part of our lives, obviously, and we love them all equally and adore them and, behind the scenes, they’re very much on every stocking, in every book, in every photo.

"But publicly that’s not something that I can do and I totally respect that. We respect everyone’s wishes, we’re a blended family and sometimes that’s a bit more complicated than it seems. I don’t know if that’s the best way to explain it!"

Joe does occasionally share photographs of Harry, including a sweet photo from a fishing trip which he captioned: “This handsome young man makes me so proud. And I’m not talking about the fish😂”.

So, the article gives the answer, no mud to rake here.

It feels pretty distasteful to speculate about someone else's DC online tbh. These are actual people, not characters on a TV show.

bellac11 · 15/08/2023 18:46

Its not rocket science is it, its obvious even without the explanation

But given she is not the parent of this child and that he has 2 parents, why is the thread titled 'stacey solomon'?

makesmewonder · 15/08/2023 18:46

I'm a stepmum myself btw, I didn't mean to come across like I was being spiteful. I didn't realise it was respecting his mothers wishes keeping him out of the spotlight, because he has been in pictures before. So I didn't think it could be that.
I like Stacey and Joe, I enjoy following there content, but it did cross my mind a few times about Joe's son and how on here you get absolutely jumped on for things like holidays etc

How come you didnt title the thread 'Jo Swash' and ask questions of him?

makesmewonder · 15/08/2023 18:47

Because it's Stacey that posts that's why I called the thread Stacey Solomon.

My main point was though, is joe's son/Stacey's ss on this holiday ? That is what I mean, if I was to post saying I'm going on a 10 day holiday without my sc I would get ripped to shreds by people.
Has he been asked to step out of every family picture that's been taken and posted ? Because that would be pretty hurtful to ss I'm sure !!

I saw something about her saying there were 8 of them on holiday so I think her step son was there just not in the pictures respecting his mum's and potentially his wish to not be in the public eye

I just think it's sad for ss that's all that he's not included in the family pictures that's posted, like he's not even there

@Milkkbottles But I mean, some of the comments you get on here from people, yes I'm sure some would prefer no pics were ever taken if dsc can't be in them !

Am I making it up that's how some people see it ? You must have seen some of the replies to threads on here, you know what I'm on about

The eighth person was her dad.
I agree with Harry's mum actually. I wouldn't want my child's face plastered all over Instagram to 5 million strangers either,

How old is he, he's a teenager isn't he? What does he want ? When does he get a choice ?
