Octomom - Reality Sets In

trix — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:31:00 GMT

It looks like Nadya Suleman might just be a little overwhelmed by her huge brood of children.

I don't know about you, but my one school age child is hard enough to get to school at 7:30am. This is all while his little brother sleeps. I can't even imagine trying to get, what is it, two or three that go to school, all the while knowing that my day is going to be amazingly overcrowded by the 11 or 12 kids I still have at home.

Wow, writing that down was hard, I almost had a nervous breakdown just thinking about it. At least I know I am a good mom and I don't have people screaming that my kids should be taken away.

Nadya is notorious for getting her kids to school late. If school starts at 8am, they arrive at 8:30 and this happens more than once a month. Watch out for the truancy board Nadya, they'll get you.

Lee Ann Womack Knows The Secret

trix — Sat, 16 May 2009 12:32:00 GMT

Lee Ann Womack thinks that parenting classes should be mandatory for kids in school these days.

She says that she was not prepared for motherhood and that natural was last thing she felt when she became a mother.

She said: “A lot of young people don’t even know (or consider) the very basics of child rearing and home keeping anymore. I can remember my mom handing me a toilet bowl brush and saying, ‘Today you’re going to learn to clean a toilet.’ The same with cooking dinner, hemming a garment, doing laundry, taking care of pets … I just don’t know if parents are as engaged now as they were when I was a kid.”

So she's saying that these things aren't innate, I couldn't tell.

She believes that communicating with your kids is the key to child/parent relationships.

“Listen to what they have to say as if they are teaching you something, because they will! I sometimes play a trick on myself if I’m feeling a little disconnected at that moment: I pretend that I’m talking to a girlfriend of mine. It’s not long before my daughter has me either riveted or dying laughing at something.”

I agree with both the classes and communication, it seems like the most important thing to have when parenting is common sense.

What say you? What is your best advice for young, first time parents?

Connelly, Bettany, Kids, and Origins of the Species

Whit Honea — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:09:00 GMT

Yes, I dropped some Darwin on your unsuspecting backside just minutes before it fell Happy Hour first onto a dimly-lit barstool. That's what I bring to the table. Finally, six years of junior college paid off!

Jennifer Connelly and her husband Paul Bettany are set to play the Darwins in a new film. That's a fact, not a theory.

Their boys, Kai and Stellan, may or may not know who Darwin is. Depends on the local school board.

Rainy Day Schedule for Matthew and James

Matthew Broderick is all wet. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Matthew and his son James were caught in a spot of rain on the way to school. It happens.

In other news, I see Mr. Broderick has a case of Wolverine fever. Nice chops, Matt.

Sexy Daddy Gets Mobbed At Kid's School?

trix — Sun, 03 May 2009 13:34:00 GMT

Which dreamy movie star likes to pick up his kids from school, but gets mobbed every time he does? He gets so much female attention, the school had to send letters home telling the daughters to leave him in peace.

Yep, you guessed it, it's Brad Pitt.

I understand he's used to it and all that good stuff, but it has to be a little irritating when you are just picking your kids up.

Are you the type to get star struck? I've met and/or spotted a few celebrities, but I've always been the type to say "don't bother them".

Michelle Obama Teaches Kids About Gardening

Josh loposer — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:12:00 GMT

Michelle Obama's like a Supermom. Just after she gets back from touring all over Europe, she's already tackling the White House dog issue, the White House Easter Egg Roll, and getting down and dirty with the much-anticipated White House Garden.

Michelle held court out on the White House lawn decked out in her gardening gloves and all, as she taught a group of school children the virtues of growing your own spinach, lettuce, herbs, fruits, and veggies. I wonder if she enlisted Malia and Sasha to help dig up the garden and get it ready to plant. I would.

When she asked the kids how much they thought it cost to plant the WH garden, a little boy guessed $100,000. To which Michelle replied: "My husband would go crazy if he thought we were spending that kind of money...It's between $100 and $200. So it's not a lot of money."

According to her, the garden was the hot topic while she visited with world leaders abroad. Back in the States, I gotta say there seems to be a lot more anticipation about what dog the Obamas will get. Hey, we're a nation of dog lovers. Or, maybe we just don't really care enough about sustainable gardening. Whatevs.

Claudia Schiffer - Glamour Girl To Farm Girl

trix — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:03:00 GMT

Claudia Schiffer always wanted to be a farm girl, and now that she's a mom with a successful career behind her, she's made her dream come true.

She said, "I always dreamed that one day I would like a farm with lots of animals, so I thought I'd get little amounts of each and find out how it works."

So now she has a home where she can keep her menagerie and raise her kids with the experience and responsibility of taking care of another living creature.

Claudia and her family have three dogs, two sheep, four chickens, a pregnant pig, two black swans four ducks, three tortoises and a parrot. Wow, that's a lot of animals, I bet her kids love it.

Milo and My Son Agree - Scooby Doo is Awesome

Whit Honea — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:32:00 GMT

Liv Tyler and Milo were looking fresh and happy on a recent walk to/from school. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess their happiness is directly related to the Mystery Machine lunch box. Okay, it's a thin limb.

Who doesn't love solving mysteries on their lunch break?

I can only assume that Liv and Milo decided upon the Scooby Doo tote after seeing my son model it for AOL. He's very persuasive that one.

Milo Needs His Mommy

Whit Honea — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:15:00 GMT

Normally I'd throw a picture up here and make with the funny, but I'm not going to even try that this time (not that I ever try, this shiz comes natural).

Seeing little Milo (with his mommy Liv Tyler), and how upset he is, just tugs too hard on my heart and parenting strings, respectively.

I think I need to go hug my kids.

Broderick Boys Take the Stoic Route

Although James may have other issues on his mind than letters and recess.

Sarah Palin Calls People About Grandson Tripp

Whit Honea — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:06:00 GMT

It turns out that one of the many magazines that Sarah Palin reads is People. Even Governors need to kill time in the check-out line.

Grandma Palin called the magazine to talk about her teenage daughter Bristol, her baby daddy Levi Johnston and their new bundle o'joy Tripp. She's pretty excited. If People had a couch Palin would have been jumping on it.

“You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time. They are certainly not high school dropouts. [Any suggestion otherwise] harms Bristol’s reputation and Levi’s reputation and their chances for good work opportunities.”

Notice that nowhere in that sentence is the idea of college even approached. Go Seawolves!

Big Seinfelds Pick Up Little Seinfeld

Karl Erikson — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:02:00 GMT

Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, were recently seen in New York City, picking up their middle son, Julian Kal (5) from school. The family ran into Kelly Ripa while there, who was picking up her son, Joaquin.

The Seinfelds also have daughter Sascha, who turns 8 this week, and son Shepherd, 2.

Have you noticed how absent Jerry Seinfeld is from those godawful Microsoft ads the last month or so? Guess he doesn't have the golden touch, after all.

Guess What Violet Did in School!

Normally I'd give you three guesses, but today we're playing the easy level so you only get one.

Can you use your keen powers of observation like the guy on "Psych" or the guy on the rip-off of "Psych" (that's "The Mentalist")?

That's right, she was canning strawberries. Or possibly painting.

Keeping It Real With Violet Affleck

Whit Honea — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:51:00 GMT

Could this photo of Ben Affleck and his daughter Violet be any more real. Real in a 'I stayed up later than I should have and the kid starts school way too early' sort of way.

All I'm saying is that it hits home. Daily.

And yet Mommy always pulls it together, relatively speaking. What's up with that?

Jennifer Lopez Sending Twins to Scientology School?

Karl Erikson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:37:00 GMT

At the Elle Magazine 15th Annual "Women in Hollywood" Tribute, 39-year-old Jennifer Lopez talked about schooling her 7-month-old twins, Max and Emme. Specifically, she was asked whether she'd sent her twins to a Scientology school.

Jen's response? "Yeah, I wouldn't mind, not at all. Because I know that the technologies that they have are very helpful. It's all about communication. That's the thing I really don't like about talking about this. I do know so many great people who do it, who choose it as a lifestyle and really follow it and it is their religion. I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."

Um, maybe because Scientology is a freakazoid cult that brainwashes people? How about that? Geez, Jen, wise up and join a commune. At least they have good weed.

Would any of you send your kids to a Scientology school? Tom Cruise, leave your hand down, please.
