What’s up with these people

I assume/hope the Beckham family are taking advice on how to proceed.
Possibly, just to sit it out and hope he comes back.

Brooklyn and Adam will be glad to return to their mothers for support if and when their marriages both go pear shaped.

Some people take offence very easily. Before my sons wedding he told me my outfit was not smart enough as a lot of his wife's family were well connected. I had to get a new dress and my other dil in law was very offended as she had helped me choose the first outfit.
She has never got over it and actually refused to speak to the brides sisters at the reception.

Really tired of seeing headlines about the petty squabbles of the rich and famous. Why can't they put all that negative energy into something positive and helpful at Christmas.

Maybe Brooklyn wanted out of 'Brooklyn Brand' and wasn't strong enough (definitely not skilled enough) to leave by himself.
Perhaps he thinks his marriage will give him an identity outside the family....so far, he is still showing no talent.
He need to go to college and learn a trade/skill....perhaps.

'Beckham Brand'

Hen parties are supposed to be where the bride lets her hair down mostly with friends. I’m not sure why lately there is a trend of MILs or even mums attending or expecting to. I find it strange tbh. It never occurred to me to intrude on my DIL’s hen do, and we have a great relationship.

Totally agree!

As for celebrity family fallouts, I was told never wash your dirty linen in public.

The family should keep their private business off social media. I don’t understand this attention-seeking world sometimes.

Without social media these people wouldn’t be relevant
Social media is the life blood of their businesses.

Maybe the papers should stop reporting on these private family matters.

I read that too....
But it's all become ridiculous now.
They should all meet up in a neutral place and have a conversation instead of all these leaks to the media.

I did read somewhere on the wedding dance for the newly weds to start, Victoria jumped in danced with the son.
Bride was in tears. I expect you could find the article online.

Sorry, next comment was to Terribull 🙂

Doodledog same here.

I had, of course, heard of Adam Peaty, Olympic champion swimmer (and local hero), and watched him too, but not heard of any of this except on Gransnet, that hotbed of gossip 😁.

a high profile shouty chef Yes, that's how we see him but is that just his TV persona? DD, who came across him through work, said he was a very kind man.

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 .

It sure has! It’s also popularised the notion of toxic relatives, and often for very minor transgressions on the part of some parent or grandparent.

How is this being rammed down anyone's throat? I read, watch and listen to the News, and have no idea about the Adam Peaty situation, and am only vaguely aware that the Beckhams don't get on with their DIL - probably because I've seen thread titles on places like MN, which I am at liberty to ignore.

If people read celebrity news they will find out, but nobody is forcing them to do that, any more than anyone has to watch TV programmes they don't enjoy or use language patterns that irritate them. I think people often seem to enjoy getting annoyed.

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.

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

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.

I am absolutely sick of having the Beckhams and Peaty and other so-called ''celebrities''

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

''So-and-So BREAKS SILENCE'' How can they ''break silence'' when they're literally never silent?!
😁
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 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.

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.

Aren’t Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham besties?

Families eh?
