Katherine Ryan has revealed why she spoils her daughter with extravagant gifts and flights to wherever she wants to go.
Speaking in a new interview on Thursday, the comedian, 42, who is mum to Violet, 16, Fred, four, Fenna, two, and newborn, Holland, shared her thoughts on nepo babies.
She also explained how she has tried to ensure her eldest will not be impressed by someones dusty son.’
Joining Paloma Faith on her Mad, Sad & Bad podcast, Katherine said: ‘I don’t raise humble children. I know that being a nepo baby can backfire.
‘A lot of these children can really struggle to ascend to what their parents have achieved and that can be a terrible feeling.
‘However, I have decided to spoil my daughter as much as I can and give her really extravagant Valentines.’
She continued: ‘I fly her wherever she wants to go, I get her VIP tickets to anything that I can because then I feel like she won’t be impressed by someone’s dusty son.
‘I used to be really impressed by like the offer of a ride home. I think I am a pretty great mother… and an excellent dad.’
‘Parenting is my wheelhouse. I’m good at it. I’m honest with my kids, I look after my kids.
‘I don’t have the same shame that I think is hoisted upon a lot of women if they chose to be mothers.’
This week, Katherine revealed she welcomed her newborn daughter in just 45 minutes as she shared her speedy birth story after returning to her podcast.
The comedian held her baby girl Holland in her arms as she filmed Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything, just days after giving birth.
Katherine’s husband Bobby Koostra announced the arrival of Holland on Instagram on Sunday, as he shared sweet snaps from her birth.
The couple chose to have their latest addition at the private maternity hospital, The Portland, which cost them a whopping £10,000.
Days later on her podcast, Katherine shared intimate details from the day, including a moment she’d rather forget in front of her ‘hot doctor’, known only as ‘Pat’.
Katherine also revealed she was offered an ‘opiate menu’ to see which drugs she would like to take as pain relief during the birth.
Introducing the segment on the clip, Katherine said: ‘So this is our birth story. Where would you position it on the podium, take it away.
Bobby then said: ‘So this one, we scheduled it. And it went according to plan and no problems.’
Admitting the arrival of Holland was stress free, Katherine said: ‘I would call it pretty smooth sailing. The logistics of this birth were, if I hadn’t given birth by Friday then we were to be induced, by a lovely, handsome doctor. Celebrity obstetrician, Pat.’
‘We won’t say his full name, but those in the know, will know who he is. Everyone knows who he is. And he’s not someone that you want to s**t yourself in front of.’
Bobby then quipped: ‘How’d that go?’
Katherine confessed: ‘Not well. Sorry like TMI, my vag started like bubbling, bubbles were coming out of it. And I was like too stupid in the moment, to know that was Fenna, we keep calling her Fenna, not Fenna – we keep calling the baby Fenna, Holland, like crowning.
‘I was stood up next to the bed and I was like er maybe I can have that diamorphine shot, and she goes okay I’ll go and ask Pat.
‘And then she left and she came back and she goes Pat said he’s not even going to check you, he said you can have the shot. And I said oh actually he needs to come right now and check me.
‘And then I took it upon myself to just get on the bed and take my trousers off and Miriam and Pat came in and luckily he happened to be around outside.’
Bobby said: ‘Yeah thank goodness if he was around getting coffee he would have missed it, because you sat down and you were on the bed with the doctor and the midwife for maybe three minutes.’
Katherine candidly added: ‘Yeah, and I knew I s*** myself.’
Bobby added: ‘Right away, and they tried to play it off like oh you don’t know for sure. And you’ve got your gas and air and you’re like “I know that I did”.
The podcast clip was captioned: ’45 min active labour. 45 min podcast episode.’
