BOOB BRIT'S BABY BOBBLE

My impression of celebs with babies is that they hire all the help they need, use the kid for occasional photo-ops, and let others do the real parenting.

That's such an unfair generalization.

I see no mention of boobs in this article.

What's up with the headline?

[TightyRighty]

Poor Harry! How did he get mixed up with Britney?

[eyespysomething]

I dropped my oldest son on his head when I fell asleep in the recliner. I was so so so upset. I nearly dropped my next one when I tripped going down some stairs. I didn't, but i have a scar on my leg from it, and my friend who was at the bottom of the stairs scooped the baby out of my hands when I got there.

Like no one else stumbles. What the heck does that have to do with her child raising skills?

> ...if she wasn't pg, I'd swear that was a drink in her hand. Surely she wouldn't drink while pg!! It's a highball glass, i think they call it...

I figure that like this:

1. She knows better than to drink alcohol in front of the cameras while pregnant (and if she doesn't, her handlers do). So it's probably water or club soda.

2. A highball glass is the MOST stable glass a person can use. They're very easy to put down without spilling, and very hard to knock over. She probably was carrying one because it would stay upright in the car she was getting into.

I agree about prayers for the baby and the one to come.

Oh, for heaven's sake. I'm no fan of Britney, but tripping isn't abuse. They don't seem to be suggesting she was drunk or drugged. I fell while holding a baby about that age, and a glass, while celebrating the 2004 election around noon on the day after. Saved the glass and the baby from hitting the ground, but I sprained my ankle and scraped my shin.

Don't you know that commonsense can ruin a perfectly good bashing thread? I tell ya, sometimes FR resembles the stereotypical picture of gossiping hens, only now the roosters enjoy it too. LOL

My mother-in-law actually tripped on a stairway and fell while holding one of her babies. Thankfully neither of them were hurt seriously.

Funny how celebs yearn for that press when they're nothings. Then when they become "somebodys" they can't stand the papparazzi.

She tripped over her pants, not a member of the papparazzi.

[TightyRighty]

She made a "boob".

EXACTLY.

I tumbled off a porch railing when I was 2 yrs old, and fell 8 feet to a concrete slab, landing square on my head. My parents were only a few feet away, but couldn't get to me in time. The fall didn't have any lasting effect, unless you want to count the fact that I'm prone to libertarian sentiments. ;-)

Not to mention the Chicken Little 'Sky is falling' dimension...

While carrying my 19month old daughter to put her to bed the other night, I went to walk through a doorway and just has we get to the door she decides she wants to swing her head back and BAM! she gets clocked by the door jamb. Was I a bad parent for not putting a helmet on her head?

Yes, you were a bad parent for not keeping a helmet on her head 24/7. I assume you did at least have her dressed in her full body armor. ;)

Your story reminded me of one of my own. When our son was a baby, his daddy was playing with him and swooped him up right into the ceiling fan. Son's head was strong enough to stop a fan. No tears.

*****Then she muttered to fotogs in her Louisiana accent, "This is why I need a gun."
So she can shoot potholes??****

Hillarious!!!!!

[Tax-chick]

I think we'll learn that in Book 7.

[Chena]

Most of us would carry the baby in a baby carrier or put the baby in a stroller.

Surely you can't be serious. Have you never carried your baby into a restaurant, or a store, or into the church without a carrier or a stroller? How about when you get home from an outting. Do you "stroll" your baby to the house and into their crib, or do you sometimes (gasp) pick up the child and carry them. Has the world changed so much that parents are now considered abusive for carrying their child?

[Tax-chick]

Everyone's a klutz sometimes!

[Chena]

I missed it, too. I am very clumsy, but it never occured to me to shoot whatever I tripped over/ran into/fell over.

LOL I did threaten to shoot one of my dogs the next time I tripped/ran into/fell over them. I'm bad.

No kidding! :)

I know it's not funny but it does make you kind of laugh after you realize everything is ok, doesn't it?

I stopped, looked at her like "Oh no!" and she just rubbed the back of her head and starred at me like "You a-hole, that hurt." but didn't wimper or anything.

[Chena]

And some of us (me) is a klutz many times. ;)

[Tax-chick]

Me, too. And my kids. I'm not sure if they inherited the problem, or acquired it from being dropped on their heads as babies :-).
