Terri Irwin on Larry King Live

I guess it already aired, didn't know about it, on the website it appeared as if one could email terri questions.

I've pretty much lost any ounce of sympathy I had for this family. I was moved by their story and plight when they appeared on barbara wa wa.

Now, after reading about the steve doll and bindi's latest television extravaganza, I've had it. Enough is enough.

Ug I hate I missed it. Maybe I'll catch a re-run.

I saw the show. I think Terri gave a great interview and as far as Bindi, wow, what a great kid. She's a little ham and she's obviously a natural born star. Some kids have it and others don't, (no matter how much training they get) and this little girl is a natural. She is definitely her father's daughter. And for those who say she's not 'mourning' properly, I'm sorry but this child has a lifetime to mourn her father. I know how it's like to lose a dad and you know what, I much prefer to see this little girl happy, smiling and keeping busy than being depressed, on fricken pyschiatric drugs, being diagnosed with depression, or being inactive and spending hours playing Playstation and letting her mind turn to mush like so many kids do today. Bindi is intelligent, articulate, educated, sings, dances, travels, loves nature and has great communication skills. What a doll this child is--may God keep her happy and may her father's spirit and her mother's guidance lead her to a fulfilling life. Yeah, it IS ideal to grow up with both your parents in your life, but you can still turn into a wonderful human being even if you have one good one and I think Bindi's well on her way.

[A*O]

Fine - let's she how she's doing in 20 years' time.

Started watching it last night and had to switch it off. Terri is clearly delusional and obviously not considering that her kids need to grieve. She described her son's reaction to loosing his father as fondling a stuff toy of his and staring out of the window for ten minutes and then he was fine. Fine my ass, there's going to be hell to pay for her mishandling of them like pet poodles somewhere down the road. Rebellous teens from hell anyone?

Exactly, you're 100% correct. I know what it's like to lose a father,
too, and I was much older than Bindi. I have relatives and friends
who've lost their father or mother at around the same age as Bindi.
No matter how much you bravely decide to "move on", everybody
(and I know everybody mourns in a different way or responds
to a personal loss in a different way) - without exception -
eventually met the man with the hammer to remind them of their loss.

What's happening here is beyond moving on, or coping.
It's borderline denial and it's gonna probably come back to bite
them, big time.
The girl is doing well because she's been brainwashed since she
was fresh out of the womb. She doesn't know about actual real
life, she only knows about the "Irwin" way of real life:
living secluded, home schooled, trained from birth to help
"educate and entertain". It's like being born in a circus.
I hope that once that man with the hammer comes, because he
will, that her relatives will let her have the time of mourning and
overall reflection that she's due.

[UndercoverGator]

And it never really ends either. I lost my father suddenly as an adult, in my late thirties and there are still times, like last night when driving home from work, when the man with the hammer just shows up and you have a fresh grief meltdown for a few minutes.

I feel very sorry for these kids when they become adults because they will eventually figure out that they weren't valued enough as children to be allowed to work through their grief. Hell to pay.

I thought Bindi was exceptionally happy for what they are going through.. she kept saying everything was really great, really great (it seemed odd) and her mom kept looking at her like a stage mom that wanted their daughter to say/get everything right.

[LynnieD]

Didn't catch this interview, but did see clips of the Jay Leno interview. I am truly unsure what to think. On one hand, I think Bindi does seem like a good kid and driven to be just like her Dad....and on the other, I think that the sheer fact that she is even on Jay Leno/Larry King whoring herself out a mere few months after her father died is a bit extreme. I just don't know...

Like A*O said, lets all see how she and her brother turn out, in say 15+ yrs.

People are resilient and it seems this family is doing great. Its nice to see they aren't drowning in their own tears. They seem to still be focused on their deepest love; animals. just because they are not a sobbing mess in public doesn't mean they aren't each dealing with the grief privately.

Yeah, and sparkly fairy dust might just shoot out of your ass and Wal Mart only has America's good at heart.

[HWBL]

Did anybody see Bindi and stagemom on Ellen?
I think Ellen was kinda spooked by the kid, too. The little girl
literally said she wanted to be JUST LIKE DADDY and wanted
to do the exact same things as daddy. You should see how
the girl is "on" ALL the time. In that respect she really already
is "just like daddy". Ellen's face and expression in her eyes said it all.
You can't blame the kid, though. She's programmed.
It's really kind of sad and eerie to see it.
Reminds me a little bit of all those little kids you see in foreign
countries, you know the kind of countries that are ruled by
"one great leader"? How those little tykes let the pre programmed
"hail to the chief"'s roll off their tongues without blinking their eyes
and without emotion........

Wow. Sounds like you need a bit of fairy dust sent your way. Is your glass always half empty too?

Grief is a natural process and people handle it differently. No child should ever have to be strong and wise. They should be a child first and foremost.

They should be playing and learning how to be people. Not showman, croc hunters or ambassadors of fitness.
