I ask about how they have made her look because it does smack suggesting that the Au Pair is raising them, that she's a carreer womnan and doesn't care etc. Whih may not really be true.

Ooops liar. Oh and she was on Dragon's Den. Spitful cow.

pixierara · 31/03/2010 21:38

She was deffo on Dragon's Den, interior or furniture IIRC...she is being horrible, poor Alex. He seems like a decent chap.

DuellingFanjo - if what she said was true then the court wouldn't have granted the order to force her to allow the children to go on holiday. She's a liar, and apparently a man-hater, and sadly I know from experience that there are others out there as well.

She was a fruitloop on Dragon's Den too. Was talking about how much she recd in benefits. Couldn't answer any questions either

I admire the Heathrow mum, keeping a lid on it after no phone calls for a week, she did well to stay civil in front of the children

furniture woman is poisonous

onestepforward · 31/03/2010 21:40

She is really messing him around and not really being fair to her kids either

StrictlyKatty · 31/03/2010 21:41

God she's making me mad! She is clearly not doing what is in their best interests.

Yes MCTH, was really good the way she didn't make an issue of it on the doorstep.

my ds daddy is a massive twunt to me, a massive twunt and why i left him, but i would never stop him seeing his son, we have our issues but our son shouldnt suffer for it.

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 31/03/2010 21:46

As the children are clearly safe and well cared for with their dad she should be gently encouraging spencer to go to his dads, he probably knows full well his mum doesn't want him to go

poor kids
they always look pleased to see daddy, especially the eldest

"Not sure I like how they are protraying her as a working mum though. They certainly haven't pointed out that he would need an au pair/ nanny to take care of the kids during the week" Agreed.

mehdismummy · 31/03/2010 21:49

she is a massive twat eh!

StrictlyKatty · 31/03/2010 21:49

I bet she is encouraging one child each week to think of a 'lovely special weekend alone with Mummy' where they get lots of treats and attention.

IMO

onestepforward · 31/03/2010 21:49

Poor poor kids and poor Dad and loony Mother

MavisGrind · 31/03/2010 21:49

I think this is giving a fair idea about how difficult it is to deal amicably and fairly with someone you would not actually want to have anything that much to do with.

Forced civility, barely contained resentment and the reminding of self that "I am an adult, I can rise above this for the children's sake". Even more annoyed with myself for marrying an arse now.

Frizbe · 31/03/2010 21:51

SGM he's only got financial trouble cause they split though, he's trying to pay the mortgage on the two houses, when they could barely afford the one before, though I think the programme has just explained this, I think both parents in that relationship are doing a great job of working things out as sensible human beings.

gaelicsheep · 31/03/2010 21:51

StewieGriffinsMum - do you not think this programme might be trying to counteract that particular stereotype? It doesn't apply to so many dads, yet they are constantly all tarred with the same brush.

MavisGrind · 31/03/2010 21:51

Such gorgeous children too. So sad.
