Alec Baldwin's a DOLT

[rkdemuro]

Ahhhh, Id deal with with this media feeding frenzy for a while if i could live the way he does the rest of the time.

Next stop for mr. baldwin: Rehab center.

Nah.. for the 1st cut, a public apology is good enough to save face.
"I'm so sorry... I promise, I'll never be that way again... sob sob"
A bunch of horse hockey if you asked me.... the judge should slam him for violating the restraining order. You know us mere mortals couldn't get away with a stunt like that...

I dislike him but what he said on the tape was probably very true but instead of leaving vm he should have done it person. Then again he probably doesn't have human interaction with anybody because he is so important hahahah. If he killed himself I wouldn't care.

I'm gonna put my flame suit on and say this: What's the big deal? He sounds like a pissed off parent talking to his pre-teen daughter. For all we know she could deserve every bit of that rant, the pig comment included. Everybody whines and cries about how "PC" society has gotten and how everyone complains about every little thing. Well here's a classic example. Somone who happens to be a public figure exercises his right as a parent to get pissed off at his child and everyone jumps all over it. IMO, lack of discipline due to fear of repercussions is why parents are failing these days. When I was growing up, discipline meant getting hit - with a BFB (big friggin belt!). And if my Dad was having a bad day, too bad for me. Well, my brother and I turned out fine. But today my wife who is an elementary school teacher has to worry about holding a child who's throwing a tantrum because DYFS will be there in two seconds. I say let Alec Baldwin be a father to his children the way he sees fit. It's his right and, truth be told, his daughter will probably be better off for it.

What's the big deal?

Violating a restraining order maybe?? Or possibly using a child to punish your ex-spouse... The child is being used as a pawn. I have no doubt she is a spoiled snotty little teenager. But you don't put kids in the middle of adult issues...

If feel the same way.

Here's the deal, he bought his daughter a phone and made arrangements to speak with her at a certain time because he is in New York. I was on the other side of this during my ex-wife's visitations, only with her she was too lazy to drive here.

I made an arrangement with her and my son, every Friday at 4PM she could call and talk. My son who was 14 at the time didn't want to talk to her, I told him he had too, she was trying, so at least talk to her.

If you listen to the voice mail, it's clear, she doesn't even have the phone turned on when he is supposed to talk to her, I'd be pissed too. I think this is a frustrated dad who is fed up with his kid and his ex wife not making her at least answer the phone.

Make room in that flame suit, snuggle bunny LOL.

+1. It's easy to bash the guy because he certainly went over the top a bit. He's a frustrated father who isn't able to see his child. When the planed opportunity he's been looking forward to comes along she's not even there for the call. He's hurt, and disappointed, for most of us that will turn to anger. This is a long drawn out custody battle. The easy thing to do if he did not love his daughter would be to walk away, but he can't because he wants what's to be part of her life.

Alec and I cannot be the only parents that have said stupid poo to our kids we wish had never passed our lips.

Calling your kid names and insulting her is certainly no way being a good dad. I don't care who you are.

If you have issues with the X then take it up withe the X. Not the child!

His words are in excusable IMHO.

He's still an inexcusable father for his actions and a total dolt leftists IMO.

Well, having been the kid in the middle for many years I may be overly sensitized to this...

But we are supposed to be the adults in a situation like this one. And that isn't always an easy job.

I have 2 kids... the youngest turned 25 today (hippobird day John)... I have never raised my voice in anger to either of them. Regardless of who I was initially mad at... I have never struck either child in anger. Not to say they were never spanked, or discliplined appropriately. Just that anger should never enter the picture. My kids are the most nervious when I say nothing at all....

We set the example for how our children will treat their children... I just try to be the best I can be every day. The boy is arriving tomorrow to claim a '92 Maxima for the mother of his child.... I am plenty pi$$ed at him. But the momma needs wheels and the boy hasn't gotten his act together yet... mostly due to his mother coddling him all his life.

There will be a long talk between the time he arrives and the time he leaves... but it will be civil. I will treat him like a man, and expect him to act in a simular manner.

Mr Baldwin behaved as if HE were the spoiled child. Not the example I want to set for my children.
