If that was the best shortlist they could come up with they must be fucking stupid. There are loads of better celebrity mums to choose from.
:thumb:
Charlotte Church will win it one day I bet.
celeb mum? whaaat? who cares!
modern day fixation with celebrity culture does my head it, it's rubbish!
I think her and her pot bellied pig faced hubby are both vile :yuck:
Yep, but there's obviously a market for that kind of shit or it wouldn't get reported. Idiot girls with a substandard IQ are usually to blame.
or do you think they stick to the male equivalent of nuts etc... (which is equally as trashy and rubbish)
& I wasnt having a go at you or anything SCC
but the fact that the compo existed in the first place is absurd!
If they insist on having such competitions -- where someone is essentially judged to be a better parent than other by people who don't have a scooby doo what goes on behind closed doors -- then there are genuinely excellent role models of mothers who juggle the juxtaposition of "fame" and "normality" in terms of motherhood very well indeed. Would be nice to see them recognised rather than awarding it for publicity's sake
There cant even be a semblance of a normal life for those kids.
Well it's about as unfair [and uninformed] of a judgement as praising them for their mothering skills without knowing an actual jot about them.
We don't know either way, it's the same level of assumption and projection to assume they're superfantabulous as to assume they're mommie dearest wielding an axe.
What's normal though? Everyone's brough up differently. At least you see Jordan enjoying spending time with her kids... Unlike some celeb mums who seem to leave it all up to 'their people' and have completly seperate lives.
I think that exactly sums up her relationship with her kids.
I think it also important to have people in the public eye for others with kids with disablities and such, to look up to and think 'if they can do it, so can I'
She's someone who isn't affraid of saying what's on her mind... Bringing public attention to things like Post-natal depression, which she suffers from... I think she absolutly deserves to be Celebrity mum of the year, despite her not being a perfect person... who is, after all.
Exactly - she's been in this game long enough to know how to work the media. She knows that flashing her disabled boy round OK magazine, taking her family to movie premieres and getting "accidentaly" snapped by the press will get her sympathy from the public and have everybody think "Awww, at least you see her with her family all the time!"
Well yeah, if you're loaded.
Jordan's kids wont want for anything, same can't be said for a single mum in a council house who's so skint she's got to feed her kids cornflakes for dinner.
What's on her mind? To be honest if I had a daughter that ended up going around slagging off the size of Gareth Gates willy then I'd feel I'd failed as a parent.
Fair enough if she's brought post-natal depression to the public eye, but that doesn't automatically mean you're Mum of the year, especially if you milk your son's disability for all it's worth as she seems to do.
It doesn't make it emotionally easier if you're rich... Everyone knows money can't buy everything; yes, it probably makes her life a hell of a lot easier practically, but I don't think that helps with the stresses she goes though... and infact it can't be easy for her being in the public eye and having people constantly being so judgemental about her and watching her every move. She copes with that in her own way... I have no idea if she 'milks' her situation for publicity... but really, why shouldn't she if that's how she happens to earn her income and it also does a bit of good about raising awareness of the struggels mothers can go through at the same time.
I actually really like Jordan (well Katie Price I suppose), I think she's a shrewd businesswoman or at least is shrewd enough to employ good business brainiacs. If I was to herald anything about her it'd be that. At least we can cite evidence and examples, we literally know fuck all about her as a mother. What we know is what she wants us to know, totally different from the truth.
I do think good on her for dealing with that twat Yorke and not going apeshit/crazy.
Agreed :yes:
Who would you have liked to have seen nominated then?
It might not help with the stress of being a mother of a child (disabled or otherwise), but it's always a big help when you don't have a mortgage to worry about. Also a big help to have cash so you don't have to work so you can spend more time with your kids.
It comes across as if she's thinking "My son's got a disability, might as well make a bit of cash out of it", the fact that she's doing some good is probably an added bonus.
I'm with briggi here, she's got a lot of business sense although she is Max Clifford's wet dream personified.
From what I've seen she's certainly not a bad mother either, but the whole concept of there being an award for mothering is pretty stupid.
Like who? out if interest.
I agree with Skive -the whole thing is stupid.
Kate Winslet would've been an ideal choice
