TLC TV Mums: Dressing a Tot as a Prostitute & Kate Gosselin’s Dramatics over Pizza

Ann Curry overwhelmed by Nadya Suleman’s Octuplets
I can’t help but be fascinated by this story. There is no denying that Nadya Suleman’s children seem healthy and beautiful, but how does anyone managed with that many kids and no financial means. The anxiety that must produce every … Continue reading

How China Trains it’s Kids to Become Olympic Champions
I would say torture rather than training. A 5 year old child made to live in a boarding school just to satisfy the dreams of his or her parents. Seems so cruel to me. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnxR1lLrkPg] Didn’t think I’d find a … Continue reading

P.S. Cafe at Ash Park – No Children Allowed
