for
heir
children's
custody.
Westlife
member
McFadden
is
currently
settled
in
Australia
with
is
singer
fiancie
Delta
Goodrem.
"If
he
loves
his
kids
so
much,
why
does
he
live
10,000
miles
way?" News
of
the
World
quoted
Kerry
as
saying.
Also,

close
friend
of
the

works
hard
for
her
hildren,
while

stays
away.

pal
said:
"It's
not
Brian
who
puts
food
on
the
table
for
them
very
day,
takes
them
to
school,
does
their
washing,
supervises
heir
homework,
gives
them
baths
and
does
all
the
boring
jobs
hat
go
with
parenthood.
"It's
Kerry
who
does
that.
It's
Kerry
who
is
there
for
them
52
eeks
a
year
-
and
that
is
tough.
Any
dedicated
dad
would
be
just
round
the
corner
so
that
he
ould
see
his
daughters
all
the
time
-
not
half-way
round
the
world.
The
girls
both
long
for
more
contact
with
their
dad."
Meanwhile,
McFadden
recently
said
that
Kerry
prevents
the
kids-
Molly,
eight,
and
Lilly-Sue,

from

him
frequently.
However,
he
met
the
children
at
her
mother
Mairead's
Dublin
home
hen
he
visited
Ireland
for
Boyzone's
Stephen
Gately's
funeral.
McFadden
said
after
the
visit:
"Having
my
girls
back
is
incredible.
But
I
want
them
for
months
-
not
just
a
few
days.
Kerry
has
made
things
very
difficult
for
me
and
it
has
stressed
y
mum
out
so
much."
