Was Paula really attached to her kids? That was the image she liked to cultivate but she was completely consumed by men, attention and latterly drugs. Fifi by all accounts didn't have a great upbringing and I'm talking about when she was really young. Paula actually seemed rather bitter and cruel towards her going by several things I've read, primarily based on her looks as a child
. I'm not convinced she was the nurturing earth mother she pretended to be. Who even has time for that with 3-4 kids and all the other stuff she had going on?
Similarly I side-eyed Peaches' reinventing herself as a mothering guru when she was clearly using something to achieve that degree of thinness starting just prior to her her first pregnancy. Even as a teen with an eating disorder and her various forays into drugs (e.g. her Pete Doherty phase in London and the Reddit/heroin taking story in the US) she was never *ever* that thin and always maintained a softness to her face (genetic). Maintaining that unnatural (for her) gauntness in pregnancy rang alarm bells.
