Kate, I totally agree with you. It is impossible to keep our kids sheltered from other people. We can try, but we still have to work and kids have to go to daycare where there are other kids around. You can't reasonably screen every single person or parent you run into. Are we supposed to not bring them to the park to play ever? Keep all the window shades down so they can never see other kids in the neighborhood? Never take them to the grocery store? Blindfold them when we drive in our cars? The Britney stuff is out of control! People I work with talk about buying their little kids cd's and video's for birthday presents,etc..... Last weekend I went to a Halloween costume store and what did I find? Tons of Britney type costumes made for pre-schoolers! The Reuters article was quite a butchered, slant job imo. These writers totally take Joni out of context. How do we know she wasn't laughing, exaggerating, or being sarcastic? The authors do a great job of painting Joni to be a vengeful, angry woman. And if she is, so what?
