Amy Dalley and Carnie Wilsion are two other celeb mommies who read this site (like Soliel and Melissa, both have written in after people said very hurtful things about them or their families. In Carnie’s case it was her weight, and in Amy’s her choice to allow her son to cry it out).

Then I started reading the comments. He doesn’t look like a girl and it is his parents’ choice when to cut his hair. Kind of cool if they are following Jewish Orthodox tradition.

Just like youth, great hair color is wasted on the young.

And I think he’s a darling kid. She is one of my favorite actresses.

There are some nasty nasty ladies on this site. It is too bad.

What I used to like about this site was that I felt like we were all, or most of us, moms and we were all in this together. Lately this site has just become another gossip site filled with either bored housewives who have nothing better to do than criticize or it is filled with perfect mothers.

And for the perfect mothers; the ones who pick out the perfect names, pick out the perfect hairstyle for their boy and the perfect girly dress for their daughters- aren’t you tired of condemning the rest of us normal flawed mothers? Sure we weren’t able to wean our baby off of the binky by 3 days old, off of the bottle by 6 months and they weren’t potty trained by a year but is there nothing else that you could be doing other than telling us how to wear a sling in the proper way because that is how you do it?

I will usually fight for a person’s right to say what they want (within reason) on here and I really dislike the people who try to self regulate that (read, those who only want good comments and reject the idea of free speech, I get mad when those people come out to play!), but I’m horrified that this kind of abuse (and that’s what it amounts to now) can be thrown about just because of a little boy’s hair, it’s madness. He is perfectly lovely, his mum looks lovely too. Say what you want, that you love his hair, that you don’t love his hair, but I see absolutely no reason to be THIS nasty about it. It seems to me like some people have some very specific personal preferences and are pushing that. Just because you don’t like long hair people, it doesn’t mean River will have gender identity issues, or that his mum didn’t want a boy. Wow.
