I still think she was all those things, and certainly not a role model for anyone to look up to. She was a gold digger and drug abuser, and I think the whole marrying an 85 year old billionaire thing was absolutely disgusting. But I'm not about to go dancing on her grave. Who knows, with time she may have ditched her creepy lawyer (who I believe was a super-enabler when it came to the drugs) and cleaned up her act.

In that case, all the parents overfeeding their children are unfit too...

And whats "underfeeding" anyways? Proportions in this country are so screwed up I dont think anyone knows what a "normal" portion is anymore.

 

[Shimmer]

underfeeding for an infant is anything that doesn't allow the child to thrive. Thriving is considered being on target for growth etc.
It's really hard to overfeed an infant, because they'll just regurgitate everything they don't have room for, not to mention they can't be coerced.
Limiting feedings to cause malnourishment and therefore to prohibit the child from thriving is wrong.


At the same time, parents who knowingly overfeed their children (the kids on maury who at 2 years of age weigh 76 lbs, etc.) are just as at fault.

Yes being overweight is unhealthy but at the point in time of development we're discussing it's exceedingly worse to be mal/undernourished.

And we're not going to start another fat vs skinny thread, it's pointless and doesn't accomplish anything.

Back on topic... I don't know if Anna Nicole would've left instructions for the welfare of her child. I thought her lawyers were more about getting the money of her deceased husband. It doesn't make her necessarily a bad parent, because I know my parents didn't have wills or any informal or formal instructions on my welfare. Most people expect to live until their kids are 18.

She was the trim spa spokeswoman, she can't have chubby kids =p

 

[Shimmer]

mmm good point.
can't be a good spokesmodel for a weightloss plan if you have a cherubic baby. Zahara Jolie Pitt had SUCH a good look when they adopted her. More parents should work with the child on emulating the hungry look early on.

God, I don't know if its even possible for this story to get even weirder...drug abuse, child abuse, potential murder, paternity battles, a $400 million fortune at stake, sleeping with government officials to get citizenship...what else is left????

 

[Shimmer]

I still think her son was the father of the baby.

picking on a dead woman is pointless and doesnt accomplish anything either

 

[Shimmer]

I'm not picking on her though.

Seriously? I don't know, since I never felt an incestuous vibe from her, but that kind of makes sense. I wonder if that factored into his death.

 

[Shimmer]

Yeah seriously.

 

[GalleyGirl]

I know the woman had multiple screws looks, but I don't think she boinked her son.
