[Blondeshavemorefun]

Anyone see last night

Katie transforms her uninhabitable 19 room mansion into a forever family home

On for 3 episodes

Also repeated tonight at 11.05pn

I haven’t seen yet as clashed with bay and bull so will record tonight

Katie Price herself is joining in on this thread

Would a good mum fly off on holiday with her latest bloke a week after her disabled child got out of intensive care? Nah thought not.

There's a difference between someone loving their kids and being a good parent. Huge difference.

I really hope she gets all the help she needs so she can be this 'good parent' that everyone talks about. The main thing is she loves those children. She has done an amazing job as a single Mum with Harvey (or do people disagree with this as well).
Her other children seem to love her and not have any animosity towards her which means she can't be that bad

Yes, I wish I could shout this at some people I know.

It’s always “I love my kids!” “I’ll do anything for my kids” “I always make sure my kids are fed!” and in my head I’m saying “great, that’s the basics, how about getting them to school every day, following through with threats of discipline and buying them some bloody underwear?!”

The main thing is she loves those children

That really isn't enough

Well it is a massive start.

@HadaVerde

She hasn’t lost custody of her children. She shares custody with their fathers.

Remember when Ant Mcpartlin crashed and injured a child while drunk driving. Funny he doesn’t get a fraction of the vitriol Katie Price gets.

As for her poor exes. Even Kieran hayler the alleged rapist?

This.

Also, her builder in the show made a comment about previous tradesmen quoting prices for who they were doing the job (on the house) for, rather than a price for the work required - yet another example of men using her for their own financial benefit.

I think she seemed to be sitting down quite a lot in the show (Jetts bedroom reveal), I get the feeling that she's physically unwell?

Is she not entitled to speak for herself then?

Love really isn’t enough, my children’s birth parent loves them, but that doesn’t matter as like Katie they chose not to put their children first. Leaving your child for weeks on end isn’t particularly amazing. Do you real think Katie would show the negative aspects of her parenting? Children of poor parents very rarelt have animosity towards their parents, you often see the opposite, very compliant, extremely positive about the poor parent as they’re desperately trying to finally be good enough that their parent engages and finally puts them first.

So do you think she has been a bad parent to Harvey?

Yeah, that’s not how it works. How naive can you be? She’s their mum, of course they love her. Doesn’t mean she’s a good parent. Staying off drink and drugs would be a good start. Not bringing strange men into their lives would be a good start. Also, if you come out of rehab, how about spending time with the family you claim are your priority (including your terminally ill mother) rather than jetting off with your latest dodgy guy and pretending you’re about to get married.

@MissBattleaxe

Ant didn't injure a child. She was checked over but not injured. I'm not defending him for his behaviour but KP has been banned six times and hasn't learned anything. The children live full time with their fathers and attend schools local to their father's

Absolutely ... it's only through sheer luck KP hasn't killed someone whilst behind the wheel yet.

So do you think she has been a bad parent to Harvey?

I don’t think she’s been an outstanding one, no.
There’s obviously a lot of extra challenges in bringing up a child like Harvey, but she’s also had access to resources and finances that the average person just doesn’t have.
Personally I feel her relationship with Harvey has been somewhat exploitative and there’s no one to defend or help his position. And before you start, Dwight York is a piece of shit and there’s no one who thinks he is anything other than an awful, absent father.
A good mum (and parent in general) would provide a happy, stable environment for her child. She would not repeatedly have drink and drug binges, she would not constantly introduce strange men to her children’s lives. She would model good behaviour such as not harassing people
So badly that a restraining order is required or distribute revenge porn (another restraining order is in place there), she would not repeatedly break the law and risk leaving their child with no parent, let alone constantly heading off on holiday without their child.
Considering the amount of plastic surgery (and the post surgery receivers period and medication) she has chosen to have, I would also argue is another example of constantly being absent from truly being a good parent.

And to excuse it all under the banner of "mental health issues " ... at what point is the line drawn? At what point is it actually bad parenting and choosing to put your kids welfare last? Because that bar is looking incredibly low for some posters.

Why did her and Peter split up??

@Buttercup2000

So do you think she has been a bad parent to Harvey?

She doesn’t appear to have been great.

Exposing her son to illegal drugs, drunk and drug driving, exposing him to a range of men she doesn’t know, leaving him for weeks on end to holiday, have plastic surgery etc, including when he had just been discharged from ICU. Teaching him to verbally abuse people, verbally abusing others in his presence. Choosing to repeatedly break the law, drugs, drink driving, revenge porn, harassment, knowing she could end up in prison rather than being present for her son, which is even more problematic when his dad has nothing to do with him, she would be leaving him temporarily parentless.

There is also the issue of exploitation, Harvey as a person deserves a certain amount of privacy.

I can't imagine that the type of chaos Katie has filmed going on in her home is good for Harvey.
I can't imagine that for him to build relationships with father figures she brings home but who then disappear without warning is good for him either.
Nor can I imagine flying off on holiday just days (not a week) after any of my children were released from intensive care, let alone a severely disabled one who had had the kind of health scare she was relating on social media.

Jeez no wonder Katie suffers with her mental health and felt suicidal with all these horrible negative comments.
Talk about putting someone down when they are already at a low point in their life. Majority of people use drugs and alcohol to escape their problems and feelings.

I actually really hope she is not reading this thread as people have torn her to shreds.
Quite sad really.
I just wish her all the best.
In the programme you could quite clearly she was trying to get her life on track after dark times.

Plus all that @Simonjt said.

Oh come off it! During the 3rd episode it came out about the car crash so that happened AFTER all the rubbish in the first two episodes about how she was trying to get back on track … THEN we know she was arrested for harassment after all that!!

I don't think the dark times are over for her actually.
You need to look behind what she chooses to show on these video clips.
I will agree with you that it's very sad.
She had it all, and threw it away.

I don't either. But going into the Priory has hopefully helped her.

But going into the Priory has hopefully helped her
Let’s hope it was more effective than the previous two times but seeing as she’s been arrested again since then, I wonder.

Since she went to the Priory she’s been to Las Vegas, been filmed drinking, and pulled that bizarre non-wedding stunt, which in all likelihood caused real upset to her children. It’s also showing awful judgement to come out rehab and head to Vegas within days at all. Not to mention that something clearly happened with her current partner that wasn’t in the best interests of her and her small children, but that relationship continues.

Kids need a lot more than love. A huge amount more. And I feel like poor Harvey is being totally exploited. There are huge consent issues around his constant appearances on social media and it makes me uncomfortable. I am also aware that there are some differing accounts of what happened with his father when he was born/young but I have no idea of the truth of them - just that to say everyone agrees that DY behaved dreadfully isn’t quite true.
