Infantry Dad: Ireland

Alec Baldwin went public this week to apologize for calling his daughter, Ireland, a "thoughtless little pig", in a message that he left on her answering machine!
Evidently the message was leaked to the internet by his estranged wife, Kim Basinger.
I haven't had a warm and fuzzy about her since, Terms Of Endearment.
When I heard about this the first thing that popped into my mind was, "what the hell does an 11 year old girl need an answering machine for in the first place?
Anyway, here's my point.
There are way to many Alec Baldwinesque shit heads out there parenting.
I ask you, take a good look at this picture and tell me who the thoughtless pig is.

WHOOPS, wrong file photo, lets try again,

There, that's better.
How could any father call this lovely young lady a thoughtless pig?
You see this is the problem with the world.
Alec and Kim obviously have issues, and they are using Ireland as a pawn in their chess match.
Keep screwing around, Alec, and see what you get.

I'll bet Lyle and Eric's mom and dad would like a second chance at parenting.
Children learn what they live.
If you tell them enough times they aren't worth a shit, they will come to believe it.
I wonder what Lionel would do differently,given another chance.

He seems to think he did everything right,

and he can't understand why Jeffrey, turned out the way he did.
I don't know about you, but the last thing I want when I have friends over for dinner is my kid eating them.It doesn't make a good impression.

I suppose all of us who have children can feel very lucky that ours didn't end up like,

Or his brother,

Or is IT his sister?

Well, as usual I've gotten way off the path.
The point I was trying to make was simply that we need to be responsible parents.
We shouldn't take our stress out on the kids. Just let them be children as long as they can.
Or we might all end up with families like this.
