OPENING the messaging app on her phone, mum-of-two Natalie Lawson was surprised to see a Facebook pop up from her 16-year-old son Paul’s friend. “I wondered why they were sending me a message,” she said. “But then I read it. And my world changed forever.” Because the message told Natalie, 36, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, that her darling boy was dead. “It said, “Is it true? Has Paul drowned?’”, she recalled. “I instantly felt sick. I felt horrible and horrified. “I knew he was out at a reservoir with his friends. It was the hottest day of the year and I desperately wanted it to be a wind-up, a joke, but I feared it wasn’t.” A neighbour, noticing Natalie’s distress, offered to drive her to the reservoir – around 20 minutes from her home. But in her shocked state Natalie, also mum to Charlotte, nine, refused. Leaving her daughter with her neighbour, she got in her car and drive to Greenbooth … [Read more...] about My 16-year-old son drowned on the hottest day of the year – and I learned about his death on Facebook
Parenting 8 year old son
Danielle Lloyd lets her eight-year-old son and his siblings eat spaghetti bolognese with their HANDS
AS all parents will know, trying to coerce your children into eating properly can be something of a challenge to say the least. But Danielle Lloyd has sparked a heated online debate on the matter after she revealed that she lets two of her sons eat spaghetti bolognese using only their hands. Appearing on a Good Morning Britain panel, the former glamour model and mum-of-four said she takes a lax approach when it comes to cutlery at the dinner table. Showing more concern over what her children are eating rather than their lacklustre table manners, Danielle revealed "sometimes my four-year-old will pick up spaghetti bolognese and put it in his mouth and I don't see why it's a problem as long as he's eating it." With four children under the age of 8 (including 10-month-old baby Ronnie), Danielle asked: "as long as they're eating the food what is the problem?" The reality star came under fire from her fellow panellist and behavioural specialist Lorrine Marer who said Danielle … [Read more...] about Danielle Lloyd lets her eight-year-old son and his siblings eat spaghetti bolognese with their HANDS

‘I’d give anything to hear my cheeky 8-year-old swear again after rare disease took her voice and then her life’
A BRAVE mum who lost her eight-year-old daughter to a cruel genetic disorder has told how she'd give anything to hear her little girl swear again. Chatterbox Ellie Nicholl wrapped everyone round her little finger thanks to her risqué impressions from her favourite TV programme Mrs Brown’s Boys. She'd have her family in stitches, blurting out phrases like “I’m not fat - I’m waterlogged,” and "fecking stupid people!" At four years old, the little girl was diagnosed with rare illness H-ABC Syndrome, a progressive type of leukodystropy that affects the brain and central nervous system. Over the next four years, Ellie lost her voice, her mobility, and eventually her life in March 2016. Now her devastated mum Ciara Nicholl, 46, from Enniskillen in Northern Ireland, has created a lasting legacy in her daughter’s memory in the form of a haven for other grieving families.
