What’s up with these people

I went to DD's hen do as did her future MIL
Then I went to future DIL's hen do.
(Both years ago.)

Neither were these extravagant weekends away they seem to go in for now.

Thank heavens none of mine had them I can’t think of anything worse really

Ours just had evening meals, not parties.

Terribly proper 😁

My daughter and my DIL all had weekends away or fun nights out on the town with their friends and family members within their age groups for their hens. My daughters had bridal showers/meals that were inclusive of myself and their MILs but these were not hen dos. The hen dos were rightfully for their peers. As I said, I find it strange for MILs to be included in a weekend away or night out for the bride. Not every event is for everyone and I certainly would not dream of being offended by not attending a bride’s night out at this point in my life, much less whinging about it publicly.

His previous life does fit with him now being within the very wealthy Ramsey family. He left his partner and mother of his son to go with Holly Ramsey. Who knows perhaps his mother stays in touch with his previous partner and her grandson who Peaty abandoned when the boy was just two

We have a daughter in law that we love, but she is very jealous of our relationship with our son. She is very bossy, dictating what I should wear for their wedding. The mother is intensely jealous of my husbands success. I think they are a lovely family, but rough around the edges. I too was left out of the hen party, all sorts of things. I don’t say anything because I want to see my granddaughter. I don’t want to fall out with them either.

They don’t sound to be a lovely family at all.You must be a saint😇

Maybe these men have been coddled and petted all their lives ... Along comes a different type of woman and they are overwhelmed as to why they are treating them different ie ignoring them .... men are rather stupid and think with a different area of their body .... ie ... their Penixxxxx...

Gracious! Only one of my daughters had a hen party. It never occurred to me to be invited; I would have felt very out of place.

I am fed up of so called celebrities .Their talentless offspring think they have a god given right to be rich and famous by doing very little to earn it.

How can anyone really believe anything they read from journalists these days? I see a story about the two individuals mentioned one minute as it pops up on my computer newsfeed and then see a subtle change to it later in the day as another writer gives their slant. It's the same no matter what the reporting - people are just looking for headline material and will write trash. Basically, I'm saying that the full/real stories are not in the public domain, and that what we're asked to believe can be light years away from the truth. Perhaps you can tell I'm sick of untalented journalists writing about people and events as though we're actually interested.

Adam Peaty co-parents his son with his son's mother, that's not abandoning him.

Brooklyn does come across as nice but not exceptional or even mildly competent in any area....perhaps he is easily led.
Maybe Victoria ans David were too controlling.
Who knows the full story.
It is sad that that can't just get along and grin and bear each other a few times a year like a lot of families.

It's the latest fashion only because Brooklyn Beckham and Adam Peaty enjoy the over privedged cult of celebrity we know about it
I know so many women ,who are estranged from their children and agonise over it .
I wonder if social media has popularised it .

Exactly. Family dynamics change once a son/daughter marries. Another group of people have to come into consideration when family events and times like Christmas come along and you find yourself having to share and compromise oover how things were done previously. As MarieElla says, just grin and bear those times because if you don't then that's when the cracks start to appear and those involved take sides.

I am absolutely sick of having the Beckhams and Peaty and other so-called ''celebrities'' and their gormless childish squabbles rammed down my throat!

Who gives a hoot?!

Same when it comes up on the internet in big capital letters ''So-and-So PREGNANT'' ''So-and-So DIVORCES and REMARRIES the same person for the 14th time'' ''So-and-So SEEN SHOPPING IN TESCO'' ''So-and-So BREAKS SILENCE'' How can they ''break silence'' when they're literally never silent?!

The mind really does boggle at the best of times!

What about his dad, has he been invited, also look on the bright side you will never have to babysit in the future

Has his dad been invited

Look on the bright side, they will never ask you to babysit their little snotties, whoopee

Aren’t Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham besties?

Families eh?

jakuss

Look on the bright side, they will never ask you to babysit their little snotties, whoopee

Except, Adam Peaty's Mum is a regular babysitter to his son and has a good relationship with the little boy's Mum. Hopefully, she may be able to keep a link with Adam through his son.

I hope I’m not the only one who doesn’t give a toss about spoilt rich kids, or the parents who’ve spoilt them and thrust them into the limelight. Not to mention (Beckhams) giving them ludicrous names.

I didn’t know who Adam Peaty was either, but at least he’s evidently achieved something on his own.

Adam Peaty is a gold medal Olympian, not a celebrity through some mindless online influencer or similar.

😁
We don't want to see their dirty linen haired in public, though.

"A daughter's a daughter all of her life, a son's a son till he gets him a wife"
Or so the saying goes. 🤔

I wasnt going to post as like others have said, we dont know the full stories.

But in real life, I am starting to hear more and more of this type of thing.
And in some of those cases, I do know more.
And it is sad.

The people shutting others out, of the ones I know about, are not just shutting out parents. They are shutting out wider members of family too.
Thankfully not happened to me yet,
But even so. Very sad.

One has been told, and I wont write too many details, "you cant see us this coming year as we wont be settled in our new Country, but you can the following one".
This was to parents.
I think it was quite sporadic contact even in the Uk.

Of the ones I know about, previous mental health issues may play a part? From the people doing the estranging? One way and another?

At least Burton and Taylor, the most newsworthy couple of their day had actually achieved something, more so in Burton's case given his harsh start in life, rather than being "influencers" Money for old rope for those who have no particular talent, hence all the useless cat walk strutting, make up applying posturing nepos. B&T's unintended influence actually got the pope of the day to denounce them. Actually I don't include Adam Peaty in the non achievers, to become an Olympian is certainly head and shoulders above being a daughter of a high profile shouty chef, what's Holly done off her own back I wonder As always behind every non entity nepo baby is/are over indulgent enabler of parent/s.
