of course feeding children lollies and ice cream aren’t one of the 10 commandments, but over-the-top bans won’t “prevent bad eating habits” either. Its thoroughly established that overly restrictive diets are associated with binge eating anyway

so great to see that people are seeing the sense in ‘everything in moderation’

its highly doubtful that she’s implementing these things purely for the childrens sake anyway, i agree with the notion of control issues and paranoia

If you ask me, I think they both weren’t the best of parents (like we are any better) and they both threw the kids to the nanny.

And I bet you any money, although Madonna may have been very much self absorbed into herself and her career, she did foot the bill on the nannies and made sure them kids were well taken care of.

Sure we cannot exactly agree with that macrobiotic diet, but we can agree on taking our kids to Mcdonalds and filling them up with high calorie, high fat, sugar congested foods, like that’s any better.

I think it is best for them kids to stay with their mother, do not split them up.

“Guy also hopes domestic staff will be able to chronical how Madonna was too controlling over the children’s macrobiotic diet and banning them from watching TV and reading newspapers.”

How freakishly Orwellian for a woman who was the archetypal rebel 30 years ago. Big Brother is watching you . . .

Dang it, I’m torn. Both approaches work well, as far as parenting goes, it seems to me. Take care of what your kids eat, and watch on TV, expose them to a bit of culture (the languages thing) and I can see Guy being icky about that. And some kids ARE sensitive to some kinds of foods – I’d certainly be on top of that. I think women are traditionally more concerned about that kind of thing, whereas men seem to be more “ah, I ate dirt and I’m fine!”.
On the other hand, sometimes lolling about, enjoying the “unhealthy” things, etc., can’t be all that bad either. It’s the constant focus on extremes and on one end of a range that’s a problem. Anyway…

It seems to me that Madonna is seen out and about plenty with her children, especially Lola. I don’t think that restricting her children’s TV viewing habits have as much to do with controlling what they see, as much as it does with how they spend their time. That is the way her father raised her as well. Too bad more parents don’t follow suit, instead of using the TV as a babysitter, as most American families do.

If anyone has seen the Madonna documentary “I’m Going to Tell you a Secret”, you would see that Lourdes speaks fluent French, and she talks about a day visiting a hospital and reading books to terminally ill children. This seems like a very well rounded young lady to me. If Madonna’s children reflect what kind of parent she is, then it certainly seems as if she’s doing a phenomenal job, and she should be applauded!

Is that A-Rod’s track suit, or why is it nine inches too long?

The children should remain in England. That is their home, and it would allow for liberal time spent with both parents. Granted, Lourdes is another man’s child, but she has been raised by GR for most of her life. Even though he’s not the bio dad, she still has a father-daughter relationship with him. Rocco shouldn’t be snatched away from his father and his country just because mommy wants to whore around with someone else now. And pity poor little David. He’s already lost one father and one country. Now he has to lose another father and another country? What is that going to do to him mentally? That cannot be good for him.

Yes, I know they are wealthy and can visit back and forth, but that doesn’t replace having both parents around on a regular basis, involved in their day to day lives.

These two need to stop and re-think their priorities. Those children should come before their own wants. GR should absolutely fight any attempt at moving those kids to the US. And if he fails at that, he should move to the US himself to be close to them.

Of course, I doubt any of this will happen. They will continue to be raised by nannies, and will have both parents as part time visitors, who spend time with them between their ever-so-important projects. As if they needed more money…

It’s just sad. Just wait a few years; I’ll betcha at least one of them will write a tell all “mommie dearest” type book when they reach adulthood.

Vis, I didn’t see anything written about Guy not caring about what they watched or ate… Guy sounds like he’s more moderate and accommodating. I agree that the days of automatically assuming the mother should get custody are outdated.

keeping kids on a macrobiotic diet isnt being ‘concerned about nutrition.’ there are many ways of making sure your kids eat healthily, as my parents did (hippies, but we had occasional treats, but generally stayed away from processed foods and too much sugar and ate plenty of whole grains and veggies and fruit). making your kids hop on the bandwagon of your neurotic, trendy, obsessive diet has nothing to do with health and everything to do with paranoia and control, because it appears to be coupled with restricting access to information/entertainment from other sources, such as TV and newspapers, both of which have a tendency to counteract/refute the ways in which things are done at home. meaning madonna doesnt want her kids to see too much of how other people live, what is NORMAL for others to eat, think, etc. her obsession with controlling these kinds of things sounds like other religious fundamentalist cultish types who make sure no papers are read or TV is watched, like hardcore mormons for example, or Waco.

Madonna is clearly way overboard on this-this falls way outside the realm of normal concerned parent.
