In Poor Taste

Is this Good Morning America interview for real? Little 4 year old Eden sits sleepily on her mom's lap while Gloria Allred insults and berates the 2 of them. Just as my blood was beginning to boil at the thought of this conversation taking place in front of Eden, one of the GMA anchors informed us Eden could not hear the argument going on between the adults. OK, I'll give GMA a bit of credit for that one but come on, you don't expect me to believe Eden won't hear about it from others and see it for herself when others are gathered around to watch it again and again.

Ms. Allred, shame on you. As an "expert" you should know better than to speak that way in front of the child, even if she only could hear her mother's side of the conversation.

Mom, you probably should have left little Eden asleep in bed. That's where it looked like she wanted to be anyway.

GMA, if you are going to do a story about the effects of reality television on kids, please don't contribute to the hype by having the kids on the show. Haven't we all learned enough from watching Falcon throw up during his interviews?

It is obvious some parents are capable of making better decisions than other parents when it comes to what is OK for their kids. In any case, the media (on line included) need not contribute to the fame and popularity by making every situation into a big deal.

Enough said!
