Parenting 101?
 

I'm not a parent but I appreciate the difficulties of raising a child. Still, it seems like there are stories like these every day. I guess my question is...WTF?

I forgot about that one! There was another one but I (thankfully) can't find out now. Let's just say it involved a father, a daughter, [I]their[/I] babies, and a laundry chute.

I don't want to know.

The toddler fight one was crazy. Who knew they had rednecks in the UK?

Well I think Alec Baldwin is a whack job anyway and Kim Bassinger isn't much better. The kid is most likely a brat or already has issues. I think he just snapped, but the part where he called her a pig was over the top IMO. Some hollywood actors shouldn't be allowed to breed.

While there are some spots where he is a little overboard...you have to respect the fact that he recognizes his kid is a brat and wants to straighten her out. If you don't do it now...well she'll just be another Paris Hilton.
