Yes it should probably be in telly addicts - but Aibu to think Katie Price has really done a great thing in doing this documentary.

I so sorry! My mistake. I’d copied the wrong name 😿

UnityUnited · 26/01/2021 10:18

Harvey is clearly a very loved child. That’s all that matters.

Toddlerteaplease · 26/01/2021 10:20

@donewithitalltodayandxmas one of my colleagues used to work at Great Ormond street. She said that KP was rarely seen. Nannies used to stay with him.

UnityUnited · 26/01/2021 10:24

If true it’s probably because she had to look after her other four children at home.

Toddlerteaplease · 26/01/2021 10:28

Loved the bits at the railway stations and with Zach.

@StormcloakNord

I don't usually weigh in on these things but I don't think it's completely out with the realms of reasonableness to assume she's not that great of a mother.

The fact she's had so many children with so many different men isn't exactly great in itself, she's constantly going away for surgeries, along with more holidays to recover from said surgeries, her house is a bit of a disgrace really (as can be seen by the many YouTube videos and documentaries she has done), she often films her kids or uses the filming of her kids to make money which I don't really agree with in itself. She also moves men in and out of her children's lives quite often and quite dramatically - I don't really think that's appropriate given the age of some of her children. Plus, it's a shame for Harvey to form bonds with these men then have them disappear. It can't be good for his own stability/routine.

Im not a fan of KP. However.

Dwayne denied him, Peter divorced her (rightly or wrongly) and I think it is obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that she hasn't got over that , and Kieran cheated on her. On those counts she is not solely responsible for her children having different dads and that still has nothing to do with her relationship with Harvey.

The bond she has with Harvey and the way she de escalates an speaks to him shows her skills in mothering, regardless of who's cousins friends granny said that she leaves him with the janitor.

@Grenlei

In principle, a documentary on disability issues which includes sensitive and considerately filmed footage of a person with disabilities is in general terms acceptable despite the fact that person cannot give consent.
Right.

So you don't have a issue per se with the documentary, you just dont like KP.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 26/01/2021 11:04

So what if she uses nannies- who do you think pays for those kids and everything they need. She has to work.
Yes she has issues within herself, but equally a lot of men have treated her like shit.
A lot of the judgement is just snobbery !

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 26/01/2021 11:18

@Toddlerteaplease has your nurse friend never heard of patient confidentiality, not really professional to go around talking about patients .

Grenlei · 26/01/2021 11:43

It's ok if you want to be bleeding heart liberal about it and insist that because she's the parent to a disabled child she can do no wrong.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that hopelessly naive thought process.

There's ample evidence, much of it shared by her on her own social media platforms that when Harvey has been ostensibly in her care he's been left with various people who are not paid or trained carers, including the make up girl. It's all out there for all to see. You can chose to ignore it if you want.

Please also don't try and imply that I am in any way disablist. That is wholly incorrect. There is a world of difference between showing Jett and Harvey with, for example, their tops off, or in their underwear. Jett is a young child - now whilst I wouldn't personally choose to show my kids semi clothed on public social media some people consider that acceptable because they are a child. Would Harvey at his current age want to be shown semi naked if he was able to consent? He wouldn't.

His mother should be protecting his interests, not continuing her own self promotion. If Harvey was female, with the same disabilities and lack of capacity, photos in underwear wouldn't be considered acceptable for the dignity of the person who cannot consent.

But you keep deluding yourselves what a great mother she is or that because she loves him it's all ok.

Do you know she also didn't pay the shortfall in his fees for his previous schools? Prioritising spending on luxuries over paying for her own child's education, and as she is now going through bankruptcy they won't see a penny of what she owes. But I'm sure that's all acceptable too.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 26/01/2021 11:49

If Harvey was female, with the same disabilities and lack of capacity, photos in underwear wouldn't be considered acceptable plenty of men without additional needs go topless, of course there’s a difference if female irrespective of disabilities

UnityUnited · 26/01/2021 11:49

Perhaps Harvey is more comfortable in the company of the make-up ‘girl’ than a professional he barely knows?

Pinksmyfavoritecolour · 26/01/2021 12:11

Was a wonderful program, when Harvey hugged the lady towards the end in the place they hope he goes to, it made me cry. Katie is a strong woman. I hope he gets to go there.

On the other hand you do t have the great relationship KP seems to have with Harvey without a great deal of input.

I'm not her greatest fan by any means but even I wouldn't begrudge her time away from caring responsibilities.

BeforeThisThenWhat · 26/01/2021 14:24

Grenlei. How do you know so much about Katie Price? Do you think Katie Price and her son have a good relationship or not?

MaelyssQ · 26/01/2021 14:42

I loved the programme and the bond between Harvey and his mother was heartwarming. I used to work in a college for students with complex and profound learning disabilities - it was the most rewarding job I ever had. Seeing young people gain independence in their own way was fantastic.

dannydyerismydad · 26/01/2021 15:35

The lady at the college was a miracle worker. Harvey was stressed and unwilling to engage. The way she talked to him about going home at the end of the day and secured his trust was beautiful to watch. I do hope that Harvey is able to secure a space at his chosen college and will continue to build relationships and thrive.

Pinkmarsh · 26/01/2021 15:43

@dannydyerismydad - I said that to my husband. My son has profound learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. It’s rare to find people that instantly understand him.

Chlordiazepoxide · 26/01/2021 15:45

Loved it, so heartwarming

People are so judgmental on this thread.

What a strange post.

None of us said she can no wrong.

I don't think you ars disablist but I think you just hate the woman and are being very personal about someone you presumably don't know.

It's very odd.

Your colleague has no business sharing that and even less commenting on it. Shame on her.

I loved the bits at Waterloo too!

With respect, I don't think I would trust the opinion of hospital employees who gossip about patients.

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 26/01/2021 16:47

@Sarawish thats exactly what I said

donewithitalltodayandxmas · 26/01/2021 16:51

@Grenlei you know a lot about her more than can just be found on her instagram page so guess you must of read up.
Her bankrupcy has nothing to do with me and as someone who has been through this myself I don't judge as I lost a lot through no fault of my own and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
But you cannot deny she has a bond with her son and vice versa so she must of done some things right .
She doesn't live a lifestyle I would but that is her choice and I am purely commenting from what I took from the programme and issues it raised.
Lots of famous and bloggers etc put their children out there , again maybe not something I would do but I don't live in that world .
