Penny Lancaster, the woman who is about to marry geriatric pop singer Rod Stewart, says her husband-to-be is a great dad to their son Alastair. This must come as shocking news to Rod's other children, all of whom were completely fucked up by him.
Penny herself acknowledges that maybe Rod wasn't as hands-on with his other kids as he should've been, but says this is not the case with Alastair:
I know he wishes he’d had more time with his other kids when they were growing up, but he was working and he needed the work more than he does now.At this stage in life he’s able to spend more time with the family. It used to be all rock ‘n’ roll and it didn’t sit so well to walk around with a pram. But he’s achieved so much in his career he doesn’t have to keep up that image.
Now pushing a pram isn’t the embarrassing thing he thought it was, it’s something to be very proud of.
I think the biggest difference between Alastair and the other children is not having a nanny from the start, and actually just being with Daddy. It’s normally when you’ve got people to help that you hand a lot of things over to them. So it’s been good to be just the three of us.
Now, if I have to be away from Rod, he’s like, "Of course I’ll miss you darling, but Alastair - just to see that face and not have his arms wrapped round my leg." It’s such an attractive quality to see him being a father.
There you have it guys - Rod Stewart neglected his kids because he didn't think pushing a pram was cool. This is how we end up with people like Rod's son Sean, who was recently accused of getting crazy after a party and attacking an innocent couple in a van. Sean has had a few things to say about Rod's parenting skills too:
I love my dad, but a lot of celebrity children grow up fucked up because our parents are out of town a lot and it makes us feel unwanted. Being Rod Stewart's son is a curse and a hindrance.
Not spending your life as a whining bitch might help Sean. And when you get done working on yourself, you might inform that sister of yours, Kimberly, that no one thinks she's hot. In fact, she makes people sick. Tell her to dress like a grown-up. And then tell that gog-eyed child-neglecting father of yours that even when he was a big star he sucked, and now that he's turned himself into a crooner, he sucks even worse.
