KATE WINSLET WILL KNIFE YOU

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet will "knife" anyone who calls her a bad mother. The 'Little Children' actress, who has a five-year-old daughter Mia and two-year-old son Joe, has warned people never to question her parenting skills. Kate threatened in Britain's Culture magazine: "People can throw anything they want at me, and be as mean as they like. But don't mess with me as a mother, because I will get out a knife and come after you! "The 31-year-old star says she felt "vulnerable" when she first became a mum and vehemently denies claims she abandoned her daughter Mia when she divorced her first husband Jim Threapleton. Kate fumed: "There was one article that suggested I wasn't even with my child and that she was with her dad. At that stage it was tough because I was facing the future of being a single mother. I was breast-feeding Mia until she was nine months - she was by my side every minute of every day."It's not fair to make stuff up. It's a very vulnerable time when you're a new parent. I was young - I was 25. When you're as young as that and going through a divorce, all you want to do it clutch your child to your bosom and hope you're doing everything right."Kate is now married to film director Sam Mendes.
