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?

@Milkkbottles No I don't mean to do that, I'm just trying to understand it

I agree op I don’t follow them but have seen pics and the child is 16? So hardly the mums decision and sounds odd to me! Maybe if he was 6 she would have a point but 16? Wonder how the poor child feels

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 !!

Whats it got to do with you?

topnoddy · 15/08/2023 19:24

You know what ?

There are far more important things to get worried about apart from some non entity Z lister and her family

LadyKenya · 15/08/2023 19:27

What is there to understand? She has explained the reasons why there are not pictures of him, and quite frankly that should be the end of it.

Glad there is someone that knows where I'm coming from

Generally the common scenario on here is people can’t afford to take all of the children on holiday. They either can’t afford it full stop, or they can only afford to go during term time and that doesn’t work for older children. It’s quite rare (from what I’ve seen) that people just don’t want to take their step children.

That won’t be the case for Joe and Stacey. So I imagine that if he’s not there, then it’s because he doesn’t want to be there or isn’t able to be there, for whatever reason.

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

Do you know the ss?

@Motnight does anyone on here know the sc that they claim are second best to dads new family ?
Come on stop picking fights, the double standards on this site is shocking

Best someone get hold of him and find out why he's not there !

Thank you, possibly it is that he couldn't go.

Sarcasm innit !

He's below Z list anyways

Dymaxion · 15/08/2023 19:41

Maybe he agrees with his Mum's position on this and doesn't want to be included in the photo's that are posted online, 16 is a tough enough age without your face being plastered all over the internet ?
Being anonymous is probably a good thing at this age and especially if he is thinking of going to Uni ?

UmbilicalCordonBleu · 15/08/2023 19:47

Good for his mother I say. Sick of these influencers trotting out their children for likes and money. There are influencer children who are growing up saying they’re unhappy with being plastered all over social media. It’s not fair. Plus Stacey Solomon is a knob, all the ditzy, lovely stuff is fake. Have spent time with her, and not just a brief meet. All the ‘don’t you know who I am, I’m not going to be respectful’ crap from her.

How come you've spent time with her? Is it through work/social?

Work. Her attitude was awful. This was a while ago now, but I don’t believe the act she puts on.

panko · 15/08/2023 19:53

I think its good for people to see step families aren't always everyone is all in all the time.

LondonJax · 15/08/2023 20:03

How do you know he wasn't there? Because he wasn't in the photos? But what if they took a family snap including him and one without him which SS posted on line? Just because he's not in a photograph doesn't mean he's not there. Or maybe he wasn't because he decided not to go, his mum had something else booked for that time, he had a family wedding....etc

tillylula · 15/08/2023 20:07

Who even cares?

GlitchStitch · 15/08/2023 20:15

My 15 year old son doesn't want pictures of himself on my Facebook with about 60 people on it. Can't imagine many 16 year old boys wanting to be plastered all over Instagram for millions to comment on.

Imafirework · 15/08/2023 20:19

@makesmewonder he's about 15/16 I think so he was young when they got together.
He isn't exactly Dad of the year either he wasn't in his life for a good few years after he split up with his mum. He treated her quite badly apparently.

You do realise that pretty much every teen has SM accounts 😂 yeah they are all about privacy at that age 🤦🏻‍♀️

SequinsandStiIettos · 15/08/2023 20:22

Maybe...twist!...he's taking all the photos! Star
