Tom Cruise Sets Rules for Katie Holmes to Follow for Baby Suri

Button Down Rules for Baby Suri By Jennifer Cox

The speculation and heat that surrounded Katie Homes and Tom Cruise seems to have subsided just a bit, but that may be by design. A published report says that Tom Cruise has some very strict rules he'd like Katie to adhere to - when Tom's away - for the little infant baby Suri.

A report from In Touch Weekly gives these details in this week's edition of the weekly magazine.

1. NO SUGAR NEAR SURI
Katie loves sweets, especially cupcakes from Billy’s Bakery in New York. But now Tom, who’s a health nut, is insisting that she avoid eating sugar in front of Suri, because “babies can smell it and detect it,” says a pal.

2. KEEP THE LIGHTS LOW
Tom believes bright light is very harsh for the baby, so lighting must be kept to a bare minimum, an insider says.

3. PREP HER FOR THE HOG
Tom, who says he had kids Connor and Isabella on the back of a motorcycle by the age of 2, has the same plan for Suri. “How long before I can get [her] on a motorcycle?” he says in Arena magazine.

4. NO LOUD MUSIC
Katie likes to listen to Coldplay, but Tom wants classical music such as Debussy and Wagner to be played at home. “It builds the baby’s creative powers,” says a friend. “It helps with problem solving.”

5. NO COUCH POTATOES
Energetic Tom expects Suri to be an adventurer. “OK, you’re out! Let’s go, kid!” says Tom, who told Arena he thinks Suri will walk by 8 months and wonders how long it’ll be before she’s on skis.

6. KATIE FEEDS, HE BURPS
After the birth, Tom told David Letterman, “She does the breast-feeding…I do the burping. We got kind of a whole system worked out.”

Some of these sound like pretty good ideas and others are ridiculous. I'm guessing the little one can jam to Coldplay without any permanent damage.

But surely some of them are straight from the Scientology 'peaceful enviroment' rules for infants.

But remember rules are good - as without rules there is chaos.

[Cate]

Harsh lights and the smell of sugar are bad for bad for babies but riding on a motorcycle is safe? Stupid Fucker.

[angelais]

No he's afraid if the baby gets a look at him in bright light, she will surely start walking before the age of eight months, tell them both to fuck off and run away from home.

Thanks for not making me say it.

[darksithbunny]

If people don't believe he is crazy now, I don't know what will convince them.

[A*O]

Now we know why he's had Katie lobotomised. There is NO WAY I could stand this extreme control freakery.

[nana55]

This is just sad. How much more of this will Katie take?

Exactly what a stupid bastard!

[CherryDarling]

He is a certified NUTJOB...jesus.

[enctpc]

He gives her rules.... what sort of relationship is that?? Isn't raising a child meant to be a PARTNERship... He is a noodle and getting screwier by the day.

[buttmunch]

Ok, Wagner? Heil Hitler, eh? And as far as her breast feeding and him burping, when exactly has that taken place, considering he's been off on a pr tour and she's been, erm, showing off her nursing bra? The insanity continues. Someone get Tomthumb his meds.

You can say that again!

Dumb Katie (sorry! Kate ) I can't even feel sorry for her anymore.

[aabbcc]

The baby can't smell sugar, but drinking the Scientology 'formula' of water and corn syrup would be okay?

Contradict yourself much?

[ediebrooks]

If I were Katie I would tell him what he could do with all his damn rules. But I wouldn't have stuck around for this long anyway. This guy is just too controlling and crazy, and I never found him that attractive, even back in his "Top Gun" heartthrob days.

[A*O]

But the whole point is that Katie can't or won't say a word. She's either locked into a watertight contract or she just doesn't have the mental capacity. I'd pick the latter. She is actually a very good example of a doormat wife/girlfriend involved with a controlling/abusive man.
