Lola is only 2, I don’t see nothing wrong with Denise holding her. On anther note Lola is so cute, she looks just like Denise IMO. I love how Denise dresses her girls, and Denise herself always looks so put together and adorable. Cute family.

Her daughters are so pretty and I don’t understand why people ALWAYS talk badly about Denise and her parenting. I haven’t seen her being a bad parent..if anything I have seen her being a good parent.

If I had my children out in public and they were only 2 and 3 I wouldn’t let them walk around especially with paps around. They would either be in some kind of stroller or I would carry one of them. Actually, I never see parents letting their children that young walk around while they are shopping..etc.

TwinMom, I said I didn’t like Denise’s tank-not her hat. I said I thought her hat was adorable.

So what if she carries her kids? She’s lucky she still can! My twins grew very quickly and it became difficult to carry them much past the age of 18 months. (My kids are 6, but the size of maybe an 8 or 9 year old.)

And Lauren, I don’t see a problem with the hat. I’m definitely not a hat person… look really ridiculous in them… but Denise looks young and hip to me.

I think both Lola and Denise’s hat are adorable, and I see nothing wrong with Denise carrying her. She’s still a toddler who propably likes being carried when she goes out. Sam walks a fair amount, so I’d assume Lola will be doing the same in a few months once she matures a little more.
But to answer your question, Virginia, I think the reason people talk about Reese carrying Deacon and Julianna pushing Liv in a stroller is because, especially in the latter case, Deacon and Liv are past the toddler stage. They are older children who can easily walk by themselves, so when they are carried and carted in strollers, it looks like the parents are babying them when they don’t have to. Particularly in Liv’s case, once you are 5 years old, barring a medical condition, there is no reason a child of that age needs to be pushed to and from school in a stroller. Kids that age are capable of a lot more than people give them credit for, and especially now that childhood obesity is such an issue, walking is an all-around better option imo.
On another note, does anyone else think Denise’s tank looks kind of immature? It looks like something a college student would wear-not a 36-year-old mother of two young kids.

I love her hat, that is so cute! Lola was born a day after my son (6/1) and he loves to be carried, even though he walks very well. Children like to be close to their mommies, there is nothing wrong with that.

Our babies grow up SOOO very fast…. I tried to enjoy the “carrying” years as much as possible!

When we see celeb dads carrying their babies it’s cute. If they have them on their shoulders or piggy back at an amusement park it would be cute. Why do people always get so annoyed when celeb moms carry a child or have them in a stroller?

I recall people commenting a lot on Reese Witherspoon’s son being carried a lot, on Julianne Moore’s daughter being in a stroller, and so many more. Why does it bother you so much?

I love that people get so picky about how much a woman ‘lets’ her children walk. A snapshot captures a moment. Not the entire day or even an entire 10 minutes. Geez!

Just because she carries them when they are out in public it doesn’t mean that she never lets them walk. The kids probably do plenty of walking and running when they are not in a crowded place surrounded by Paparazzi. Also,in the real world young children get tired of walking and want to be carried or ride in a stroller. I hate it when I see someone dragging a tired screaming toddler by the arm because they refuse to carry them.
