So no, I don't "love this shit." Frankly it makes me sad. Some celebs might sign up for this kind of tabloid coverage. Their children do not. Even if their parents parade their kids around on the red carpet, it is still the parent's choice...not the child's. To plaster these kids all over the cover with a headline stating that they are unwanted crosses every line of human decency. Just imagine for one brief moment if you saw anything to suggest you were unwanted as a child. Imagine the harm that would cause. Now imagine seeing that on a magazine that produces millions of copies. I'm sure someone will call me an idiot for this but I actually wrote Star to tell them they've crossed a line. I normally spend $10 or so a week on tabs. However, I haven't spent a dime on any publication that puts a baby on the cover in this way.
BTW, if this wasn't a personal attack, please leave the "don't be a hypocrite" out of it.

 Um actually I was told I was a mistake by my parents, so it doesn't affect me. Or harm me, hahaha.
And I see your point on the children not signing up for it, but whatever that's how our society is...And we (minus bellatheball) LOVE IT!!!!!
BTW, don't take what I say so seriously this is a freaking forum...(of OPINIONS)

Love the multi tantrum, though. Wonder if my army of nannies will be equally thrilled about it. I only want you around when you're in a good modd, so they will have to deal with it.

Mmmm bummer! although Initial cuteness? I constantly learn new trick to keep my current owner... opps... keeper... amused! They just get more destructive when my status is challenged.... Moi a reincarnation of Damian?  Mutli-tantrum due to current owners not attending to dental care! I have a cavity that I keep forgetting about & I'm eating chocolate at the moment! Ohh! Caffine.....

People that complain about gossip, yet support the industry remind me of people here in SoCal who complain about illegal aliens, but hire them to do yard work.

Don't parents make hot milk with a tiny taste of coffee for their kids in the US? I know that we make very weak milk tea for toddlers as they want to be drinking what the grown-ups/mummy/etc is drinking, but it's not like giving them an expresso (LOL!!!  )[/quote]
I always made weak tea heavy on the cream and sugar for my little ones. At about age 4. Only one is a tea drinker now, (in her 30's) the other drinks only water and juice.

That's really sad. Maybe this will turn some of Britney's die hard fans against her and wake her up. But I think she's actually hopeless.

Yeah, it is untill you know that he was a complete tosser that refused to help himself & I was blamed for his first wife's infidelity, faults & everything that went wrong (even tho I didn't know him then....) the funniest bit (for me at least) is that he's now on wife number FOUR and he's not even 40! Wanker!

It depends on how the comment is made. I think I told my second daughter she was an "accident" she found out most of her friends were "accidents" too.
I agree with Bella. Maybe being a grandmother makes me more sensitive to this stuff, but geez keep the kids off the covers!

I mean, it's not like we invented it but not a lot of people say that and when we do they give us weird looks!
Anywho, back on topic...
Britney is seriously fucked in the head...she needs mental help...
Those poor children...they didn't ask for any of this...both of their parents are good for nothing, trailer trash, scum bags!
I feel so sorry for those babies...

First wife was knocked up by her lover when they divorce (had a catholic mum that wanted her wed to the father, a local gigalo or is that casanova?) so althought they thought she's go for the jugular, to get it done quickly she asked for nothing.
So his dad has the chills when we divorced (they decided that they wanted my house etc as he had "nothing") so eventually I got fed up & dictated a letter to my lawyer saying something along the lines of "you can f*** off, if you persist I'll sell my house for a loss & you can have half the debit & in the meantime I'll go after what I am entitled to (as he was a partner in the family business)" I think it had a few more swear words in than that but they got the jist of it & all of a sudden everything started running smoothly.
Wife Number 3 has a child..... Wife number 4 doesn't even live with him..... Lived 40 or so miles away from what I gather......
All my friends sided with him.... he best mate sided with me.... nowt as strange as folk!

I think being told he was a mistake was only the start of his problems

Mmmmm.... are you suggesting that being married to me might be a problem.....?????? bahahahahaha think you're probably right there!
But this just goes to illustrate what bad parenting (& a lack of self-responsibility) can lead (& I mentioned nothing about his suicide attempt with a rifle.... just let me say he had exceptionally l-o-n-g arms!)

Being told you were a mistake is not the same thing as being told you were unwanted. I also wasn't aware that I was getting worked up by your comments. I was simply responding to them.
Nana, maybe being a parent/grandparent does make it harder to stomach this stuff. I can't imagine the rage I'd go into if someone put my daughter's face on a magazine with a quote that I didn't want her. Of course, I'm not Brit.
