Cats: Denise has worn crosses in pictures many times – before her marriage to Charlie and before her daughters were born.

I hardly ever have my 2 1/2 year old daughter walk because the second I set her down, she takes off. She refuses to hold my hand when we’re out, and throws a tantrum if I try to force her. So to get my errands done, I either carry her or have her in a stroller.

I really don’t see what the big deal is about carrying your children as long as it doesn’t kill your back!

I feel so bad for those little girls! Especially Sam, she always looks so sad and slighty afraid.

Always having paparazzi in front of them, snapping away their cameras in the girls’ little faces.

No wonder BOTH girls suck their thumbs! It’s for comfort – same as a pacifier. The girls are coping as best they could.

I blame Denise, she seems to always be parading the children in front of the paparazzi. A good mother would at least try to shield the kids or at least soothe them with words – not Denise – she’s smiles pretty for the cameras!

Anyone know what kind of purse she is carrying?

if you look at all the pics on the sources listed, there is a pic of Lola wearing flip flops, too… and walking holding the hands of Denise and the Nanny.

She seems to carry them when they want and let them walk when they want… very flexible.

Woo, go Annoyomus! lol

Hannah it seems like you are too much a fan of Denise to be objective. I don’t think the girls look scared when they are with Charlie at all.

The paperazzi pics of Denise are never candid like the ones we for example see of Naomi and Liev. Also I don’t mind about her carrying her daughters, they are her daughters, but I don’t think it is because they could easily get lost because of the paperazzi. I think the paps being present will prevent them from getting lost if anything.

i think sam’s shoes are havianas

editorjax- As another poster pointed out, the girls seem to WANT to be carried. Also, Sam is walking in the first picture. That said, I don’t know why people always get so upset about celebs carrying their children.

Angelina Jolie also tends to be criticized for holding her kids, and recently I have seen Jen and Ben getting some critcism for carrying Violet all the time.

The fact of the matter is, celebrities have to deal with things that we don’t, and one of them is the paparazzi. I can see why Angelina, Jen and Ben, Denise, and other celeb parents would want to carry their young kids when out in public. It would probably be very easy for a little kid to get lost with all those paps around, and the paps could potential trample a kid as well.

Also, most of these kids that we see being carried are still toddlers! I mean, for goodness sake, Violet isn’t even two yet, and Lola and Zahara are both just a little over two! To be honest, I don’t even see many kids of “regular” parents that are that age walking very much!

Who would want a picture that tons of people are going to see where you are with your children BUT you are not smiling, for the most part you want pictures where you are smiling, it makes you look prettier.
