Her comment on Jack Whitehall’s new baby post - what a horrible thing to post when someone’s just had a new baby and also to say in reference to your own child being born

Brilliennnnnnt! I won, just like I win everything and I am good at everything … except I wasn’t very good at being the Mother of a Newborn so I got Siobhan to do it (she’s a paid Nanny, but I like to use the word Doula cos it makes it sound like it was a medical service and not a paid-for service that I used cos I couldn’t cope)

Not that there’s anything wrong with not coping, it’s just I didn’t like to admit it until the magazines and book publishers started paying me to admit it and then I didn’t mind it so much, but now I’d rather not be reminded of it because I’ve settled into Motherhood now and I feel like a bit of a plum for overreacting to Motherhood so drastically, letting my infant defeat me and letting my SuperWoman mask slip so now I’d like normal service to resume, that’s the service where I’m the skinniest, prettiest and funniest thank you. As you were….

P.S If anyone doesn’t get the above as the blatant sarcasm and dig at Kate that it is, then you don’t belong on this thread …See ya

Shes got help for Noa with the night nanny, but its Kate that needs the support. A baby has very simple needs at this age, but it is a huge impact on the mum. She should be able to access the perinatal mental health team.

I read all the time how empathetic to Kate you are, and I hear you.

But.. Kate has done quite a few things wrong that anyone with common sense just would not have done and I certainly would not have done when I had my first:

1. The bloody TV show
This was her first mistake. Having the crew in hospital with her (I was heavily criticised on here when I confirmed the crew were in hospital with her but as the show will reveal they 100% were!) made Kate focus not on her child but on her career. It was a terrible idea and one that she will rue the day over in time. Plus she is absolutely ghastly on it too.
2. Have completely unrealistic expectations of a baby.
Yeah, no one knows until you have your own but she really did think this little baby was gonna be a breeze. Her comment that she'd be getting more sleep when the baby arrived proves that. She wasn't just unprepared, she was deluded.
3. Her unpreparedness has affected her mental state.
I don't think it is PND. I think Kate genuinely think she is in shock. Her shock reaction to having to care for her baby is terrible. She is feeling that she is not bonding with her daughter and she is failing her because she is. She cannot put Noa first. She is still putting herself before her child.
4. The night nanny has fractured her bond with Noa.
Without a doubt at a time when Kate and Noa need to be sharing the twilight hours having cuddled and hushed chats she decided to get someone in to do the work.
5. She hasn't learned that social media is not her friend - yet.
But she will. Still her focus is not on her child. It remains on her and who ever she is posting for. That is a real problem.
6. Her boyfriend is a prick.
He probably always was and it wasn't being shown. She had a baby for him and he wanted to be a 1970's dad and no more. He is getting 3 nights a week off with the night nanny and also going into the spare room on the other nights - he's a charmer for sure and certainly not a keeper!

Karen is Kate’s twin - what’s the story there?

Their parents had sex and ended up with two babies instead of one..

Honestly as much as Noa is a cutie she's not that advanced. My son walked at ten months out of nappies at 2 dry at night by 2 and a half and was having real conversations with me as well. He knew every car on the road by its headlamps. Genius? Nah he's thick as mince bless him didnt even do his GCSES. He drives lorries for a living (nothing wrong in that honest living ) My daughter walked at 19 months. Was in nappies till she was three and was hardly talking at all just pointing and grunting. She's got A stars and A GCSEs and A level s, a 2 -1 degree and a masters and has a seriously well paid job. I have totally lost the point of what I meant to say but you get the ghist. Christ I've made myself dizzy now .

That post just now of the before and after - GET YOUR DOGS AWAY FROM THAT BABY! FFS!

That Shirley is always licking. Licking her bits, them and I bet the baby - probably how Noa got the infected finger - yuk!

Note: Feel free to abuse away, in my opinion dogs should not be treated like humans nor allowed to lick babies it is disgusting and shockingly unhygienic and I will not reply nor back down on my opinion.

But the comparaison is of parents with a healthy child, and parents with a terminally ill child.
If my in laws wanted my healthy children for a sleepover this weekend, I would have packed their trunkiebefore they finished asking the question.
If my child was terminally ill? Not a bloody chance.
We don’t know how either would have parented if the shoe was on the other foot.
It’s basically saying that they wouldn’t give a shit if their child died, because they spend time away from her.
i don’t get the need.

I think it's really unhealthy that you're on honeymoon and still making insta content. There's something seriously wrong if you still need that level of attention in a situation where you should be switched off from the world. It means that you cant separate insta from real life and take a break because it's so intertwined with your normal daily interactions. It's a dangerous place to be mentally.

It's not off topic though? Many of us predicted Kate would go down the convenient 'Noa won't breastfeed anymore' route from the get go.

It is a bit though, personally I’m not here to hear about other people’s breastfeeding journeys, don’t mean to sound harsh but it’s getting a bit mumsnet

I'm absolutely sickened by this post! That poor little girl. What a nasty bitch of a mother she's got.
She only cares about the dogs....she's tired as the dogs been out of sorts and shes hardly slept....the dog gets a 'bless him'
Poor Noah gets a 'she has tested my patience today'
Fucking evil bitch she is

I know this sounds odd and I cannot really explain what I mean. I always feel like they are laughing behind Noa's back at her, like bullies. Calling her names and being nasty. I know that doesn't outright effect Noa but it's just an awful tone. Us against this naughty little shit of a child.

I've literally only just discovered Kate has a thread. Could someone please do a recap?

Click to expand...

After winning Big Brother in the early 00s with with a Geezer bird/ladette type personality (where she notably was included in the bullying of Jade Goody) Kate went on to become a DJ. She worked hard, spent hard and partied hard being involved in tabloid headlines for drunken brawls and linked to drug use, particularly cocaine.
Fast forward to recent years Kate (42) and her partner Boj who she calls ‘the handsome’ created a podcast called ‘maybe baby’ weighing up their decision to have a child. Kate being very much happily child free stating she has no interest in them & she didn’t like them but Boj pushing for a child.
Ultimately, Kate ‘compromised’ and with relative ease Kate fell pregnant, along came Noa in Feb 2021. (Kate later revealed she’d had an abortion in the year previous).
Noa was born via planned ‘abdominal birth’ but fell poorly in the days after and required hospital treatment. Kate breastfed for a short time and would post stories of her struggles during this time. It was evident she was unhappy. She fell into deep regret/PND.
She initially tried to hide her struggles but her erratic, at times manic behaviour showed very clearly things were not OK.
She’d planned to return to work after 12 weeks but extended this realising it was perhaps naive but did eventually return to her Virgin Radio drive time slot.
Kate chose a newspaper supplement magazine exclusive to tell all about her difficulties but claimed she was through the worst of if (she didn’t seem to be). She talked about a desire to be physical with Noa, suicidal thoughts and deep regret. It later became apparent that she wasn’t being left alone with Noa either and relied some on a night nanny Siobhan.
She eventually has a medical episode (panic attack?) that lead to her leaving her job to spend more time with Noa.
During all of this and subsequent months she has spoken about Noa with resentment, criticism and distain using words like idiot and moron.
She moved Noa into her own room on a different floor before the recommended 6 months old.
She asked if it was ok to leave Noa in a soiled nappy because it was ten minutes until bath time. It hadn’t occurred to her to have Nappy off time.
She left Noa overnight with a wooden toy in her baby grow, knowing she was in discomfort but thinking she was just whinging.
Though Noa seems to be an excellent sleeper, Kate has been obsessed with Noa’s sleep down to the minute and keeping routine, Taking Noa away from a TV show to put her int the bath bang on time.
Noa is still in her cot with sides, she settles herself while Kate watches on a monitor.
Through all of this Kate has a now elderly dog named Baxter and a younger rescue named Shirley who she showers with love and affection, is happy to wake in the night for and always includes as her ‘children’ claiming to be a family of 5.
She places a strong emphasis on food which is widely thought to be deflection as she appears to have a very unhealthy relationship with it, eating disorders have been speculated.
She, with relative regularity, has days/nights out where she gets drunk and takes to IG stories.
Boj’s Mum is a doting grandmother, Kate’s sister visits on Fridays and seems to adore Noa as does Boj’s sister who looks strikingly like Kate. Kate’s parents and other siblings are seen infrequently.

Most of us are rooting for Kate to do better and she seems to be but still can’t quite seem to muster the love and affection she has for the dogs for Noa. Noa is a beautiful, very bright child with excellent talking skills and is well taken care of physically. Boj is useless, but he cooks so Kate thinks he’s great. They recently married.

Please let me know if any of this is incorrect, going by memory here.
---
Forgot to add - Kate wrote a book, telling the story of her first year of parenting. She claimed that amongst the suicidal thoughts etc she was writing everything down which seemed unlikely and/or calculated. Noa has been monetised since before conception so it would be unsurprising if it was commissioned before she was born.
The various interviews she did during promotion used headlines including the word ‘regret’ which she got stick for so Boj took to IG defend her even though they were direct quotes. She cut the promos short due to “illness” iirc.
Kate is known to often have the Monday morning sickness bugs. Whenever she overindulges on food and/or alcohol she seems to have food poising or a sickness bug. Ot’s speculated the food is a shock to the system or it’s a way to cover a binge-purge cycle.

Also, I might have been wrong about Moa being in a different floor to them, possibly she’s up 3/4 steps in the same floor.

Sorry for the repetition of ‘fell’ and ‘Kate’, it’s hard to see what you’re doing writing on a phone

Why is noa always in that Walker thing? Do they just put her in that to play by herself so they can watch tv? My daughters the same age and can confidently walk, kick a football and has started to run. But from the day I noticed she could hold herself up and I spent hours and days with her, helping her take her first steps. I wouldn’t have pushed her if she wasn’t ready but she was showing the signs, just needed some encouragement and help. She took her first steps at 9 months
I would never sit her in a Walker and watch football? I would be on the floor with her playing, holding her etc.
that child is being held back.

You know, I am sure, that a child walking at 9 months and kicking a ball before a year is rare. They may not be doing all you do and they may use containers a lot but it’s pretty shitty to imply their baby is developmentally delayed when she’s absolutely on target because your child was earlier. Perhaps Noa has cognitive, language and other gross motor skills your child doesn’t have.
Comparing children is not it.

ETA - yes they do appear to use containers a lot which isn’t great but Noa isn’t ‘delayed’ and unless there’s something ‘wrong’ with her, whether she starts walking next week or next year by the time she’s 4 no one is going to give a shit when she started walking imo

Bit of a controversial opinion here but I don't get thus 'unsure about wanting to become a parent' mullarkey. You either want to or you don't. I'm unsure about whether to get my eyebrows microbladed but if I do and I don't like them so what? No big deal they're only eyebrows. However children are a different matter all together. So if you are unsure then don't fucking do it whether your bloke wants to or not. I hope that makes sense and I haven't offended anyone. If I have I sincerely apologise.

Can we just all agree that kids in England have to have some form of education to 18 and that Kate’s a prick?

Did I read her story right? Doesn’t feel right leaving Noa sleeping in a separate room whilst she takes a shower but is ok leaving her to play crazy golf, spa, pub and at night with the night nurse?

Thread suggestion:
Boj, Baxter, Shirley & Kate…are they forgetting someone? Oh yes Little Tate.

**TRIGGER WARNING****



I lost my baby girl at 17 weeks, something I’ll never get over but watching her story this morning not even 24 hours after the wave of light it actually made me sick she is a first class cunt READ THE FUCKING ROOM PRICK

Noa absolutely FEWMIN they’re home

SURPRISE!!
Noa =

When they announced they were doing the mtv show I thought that was bad enough but didn’t think they would actually film the birth.
Just think of all the people that have died alone in hospitals this year but Kate was allowed a film crew into theatre for a bit of extra cash. Disgraceful.
