Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 Some kids DO care what they wear. I have a niece (5 last month) who has ONLY wanted to wear dresses since she was 2. And they lived in Alaska then! Try telling a stubborn drama queen 2 yr old she can't wear a dress because it's too cold......(compromise - dress OVER jeans ;-) So (in my admittedly limited personal experience) it seems you could have all extremes - from very specific ideas about what to wear to not caring at all. Of all the things Brad & Angie do, what their kids wear bothers me the least ;-) As in, not at all. Whether it's the kids' choice or the parents'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desertdreaming 26 Report post Posted August 13, 2010 2 and 3 year olds can be very vocal about what they want to wear. My daughter at age 2 only wanted to wear Teletubby shirts. We went to a t-shirt place and bought her 5 of them. It made getting her dressed in the morning for pre-school so much easier. For church she had a pair of bib shorts that had a small Teletubby embrorderie (sp) patch. Then at age 4 we went through the "horse" shirt phase. Again. Bought her 5 t-shirts and was done. I never thought I would let my child tell me at age 2 what she was going to wear. I learned to pick my battles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theempress 80 Report post Posted August 15, 2010 Little kids definitely can have their own ideas about what they want to wear: they have a favorite shirt, or they only will wear blue, or everything has to have cats on it. I think it's a pretty big stretch to call that a sense of style or an awareness of gender/sexuality issues. I would have to agree, the parents certainly can have an influence.

princess 1,710 Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Facts of Life Star Is Godmother to Jolie-Pitt Kids! US Mag She's an ex-Facts of Life star, the voice of Velma in several Scooby-Doo! projects — and the godmother of Brangelina’s kids?! The new Us Weekly reports that ’80s sitcom star Mindy Cohn was recently heard bragging that Brad Pitt, 46, and Angelina Jolie, 35, chose her to be the godmother of two of their six children! “Mindy is good friends with them,” the insider tells Us Weekly. “They even gave her a huge diamond ring to thank her for being the godmother.” (Though the insider says Cohn, 44, didn’t say which kids she is responsible for, the single actress was first photographed sporting a huge rock in September 2008, two months after twins Knox and Vivienne, now 2, were born.) Jolie’s brother, James Haven, 37, is apparently also a friend of the spunky star. The pals posed together at the L.A. Fast Food Nation premiere back in 2006! Wow, who knew!

kappy22 1 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 Hmm . . . Facts of Life . . . Wasn't George Clooney once was on that show briefly . . . Brad and George made the Ocean's movies together. Yes I'm stretching here! I saw this woman driving in Santa Monica once. She was barrelling down the bike lane in her SUV and nearly took off my front fender while forcing her way into a proper driving lane. I'm sure she's a nice person but beware of her driving.

Gracenote 259 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 So Ms Cohn promises to raise the children in the faith should anything happen to the parents? So Brad and Angie are Jewish? I didn't know. I'm just being snotty because these actors toss around that word and have no idea what it really means. A Godparent is a serious role, not just a sort of auntie or uncle.

KikiTopaz 34 Report post Posted November 8, 2010 I think "Godparent" is a title and not as specific anymore to religious upbringing. It could be simply wanting someone to be a role model for their children and/or guardian in case something happens to the parents. I think the parent's religious views, as well as their philosophy regarding raising their children is all taken under consideration by the person accepting the title.

branchop 319 Report post Posted November 24, 2010 A certain mother to the woebegone masses is taking the high road when it comes toThanksgiving this year. "Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a pal of Angelina's tells PopEater. "To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style. She definitely doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder." Pass the ... political correctness? (PopEater) But she has no problem making money from said American Capitalism. And for what it is worth, I was taught that Thanksgiving is a celebration of the coming together of cultures, not the domination of one over the other. But hey what do I kow? The only responsible thing for her to do is to renounce her American citizenship, and her childrens'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kappy22 1 Report post Posted November 25, 2010 Yeah ~ What Branchop said! I agree that Thanksgiving has become more about celebrating the many cultures that have come together in our country. I also think most people focus on what they have to be thankful for in general more then the history behind it these days. I don't think that makes us ignorant - It's just that for those of us who weren't born rich, we've learned to be a little more appreciative then some.

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted November 25, 2010 I know my immigrant Irish & German ancestors were thankful as HELL to immigrate to the United States in the 19th century and raise their families here. And Thanksgiving is typically about family getting together and what we're thankful for. So screw Brangelina and her "multicultural" breed who will apparently grow up without fun traditions.
