    Men are always warned to look at their mother-in-law to see how their girlfriend will look in 20 years.
    I hope for Colleen that it is different for men.

    Ugh, what is wrong with these guys? I'm sure his son has provided him a nice house and enough cash to do whatever he chooses, but he apparently still needs to feel the "big shot". What a moron.

      :) Totally. Let's just hope that little Kai doesn't get their looks(eventhough he already looks a lot like his daddy) because he is way to adorable now :)

    I'm sure Wayne Rooney takes really good care of his parents!! It's just going to give more negative publicity to his son.

    I don't understand that his son is doing so well in his team and he does this.
    They're very similar phisically :)
