Ditto to that. I’ve got two kids and a usual houseful of them over the weekends. I’ve yelled at mine plenty but never would I even consider making the kind of hurtful personal comments (pig, thoughtless, stupid, etc.) comments that Baldwin did.
It’s nothing new for him - witness his vitriol towards Henry Hyde and Hannity. I am sure if he’s willing to call Hannity a “whore” he’s probably not too shy about calling his ex-wife and even daughter one. Scumbag.
And he’s mad because his daughter forgot to turn her cellphone on? Pleeeze - my kids forget that routinely.
I’d keep him away from my kid - he’s an emotional batterer and I don’t think it would take much to make him into an actual one. (And I am a big supporter of dad’s rights, but
not in this case) Nothing excuses what he said to his innocent and vunerable daughter.
HOLY CRAP. My mom calls me a pig all the time! Even today, and I’m 33 years old! Of course, she’s looking at my messy bedroom when she calls me a pig. ;)
Two things in this statement from Baldwin do not seem to be the truth.
You said your kids forget to turn on their phone & maybe Ireland is the same way. But I have never seen or heard of a kid VOLUNTARILY turning off their phone. Our schools are fighting this phone battle every day. Most kids I see look like their hand is stuck to their ear, permanently. I can’t see a kid turning off their phone unless forced to do so. Why does anybody turn off their phone - I rarely do?
Second, Baldwin talks like he has to walk to Ike Godsey’s General Store to use the phone. Surely, he has a phone in his pocket with Ireland’s number on speed dial. Finding a private place for a momentary call should not be that difficult either. He knew he needed to make the call at a certain time, so it was just another thing on his schedule that day.
I agree with Geraldo on this one: Ireland should get a restraining order on him.
