yes, abominatrix, the problem though with that is that the kids who turned out ok when their parents acted in that way are probably in the minority. The majority of kids whose parents lied, cheated and whatever else as to who they really were probably did grow up a little scarred because of it.
You turned out ok. But the majority of kids in those situations generally do not turn out ok. And that their lies the problem with parents acting in that manner.
Most of my friends were raised in such a matter, and they turned out fine.
I'd like to see support for what you're saying. Most especially for kids that are never exposed to the wrongs their parents commit.
So maybe some actress is a bad mother. Stop the presses. This is the news of the century. I thought they were all saints.

I disagree.

I hope someone else apppreciates the heroic effort involved in my not responding to this statement.
you want to see support for it though abominatrix.
Look at the overall world.
In the world I see people raising their kids thousands of different ways in thousands of different situations. Good way to get around providing evidence for what you say.
Ok, you guys are totally missing darkchrono's point. You don't have to be so quick to leap at his throat, y'know.
He means that it's not good for her to do that because multiple partners = more chance of disease, of getting a psycho partner, and all that good stuff.
However, it didn't say she was prostituing herself. There's a difference between just randomly sleeping around and having casual sex with a couple close friends. A HUGE difference. It would lower the chance of disease, and violence by a lot because you know the person.
That wouldn't affect the child too much, although it's better for a child to be raised by two people than one. So a stable relationship would be better, but eh. Then it's no different than any other single Mom.
Most kids who grow up in broken homes turn out with some sort of issue. That's pretty basic knowledge. I wouldn't consider that a broken home though.
I could cut the sarcasm in this thread with a knife.
In darkchrono's defense, I do think if a mother sleeps around with a lot of guys it sets a bad example for the child. The child could grow up thinking that this type of behavior is normal and acceptable and, although the mother was acting in a safe and legal way, the child might fail to heed these and end up getting hurt. Sex is such an emotional act that it can cause great pain if used in the wrong way. I think parents should set a good example. I don't know if she is or not, the media is so biased and anxious to get the dirt that who knows what the facts are half the time.
Why the sexual practices of an actress is our business I do not know, but, unfortunately for Angelina, she is in the public eye and these things get exposed, and I doubt her kids will grow up never knowing of these things.
EDIT: Well it looks like Emerlad Aeris just said the exact same thing, making my post look unoriginal and unnecessary. Anyway, thanks for explaining some of the other side, because I think darkchrono gets misunderstood a lot of the time.

But the point we're all making is, this child probably has no knowledge of his mother's actions. She doesnt announce to him "K, mommy's gonna go have some sex now." She just leaves the house for a while, the same as if she left for the library for a while. The child is probably not left alone (by the way, this child was from Cambodia, so I doubt that, short of molesting the kid daily, his life will be any worse than it could have been) without any knowledge of his mother's actions. This wouldnt be damaging him. I never knew of any of the extra-marital affairs my parents had, thus it never effected me.
And yes, once the kid is old enough to read, he'll be exposed to this constantly. Though I dont see why the world should care that Angelina Jolie is having sex.
And his point was that sleeping around could cause her to catch a disease and potentially die. AIDS is out there. Along with that, maybe the person would want more than just sex and become violent. That would affect the child. Those are things that could affect the child, not the actual sex itself. Even though I said this in my last post.
And I already adressed that. By that same token she can get in a car accident and die. She can randomly get cancer and die. She could get aids in a blood transfer gone bad. She could get aids from an unfaithful husband. Yes, it is possible to get AIDs. But by that token, she'd be a bad mother if she did anything in which she could potentially get sick or hurt or killed. The stunts in her movies, driving a car, having sex. Yes, she should take precautions. Yes, she shouldnt be having promiscuous sex. But the act does not make her a bad mother.
It doesn't make her a bad mother, but it reflects the fact that she is probably a bad mother.
yes, it is a reflection of what she is like. And it does kind of show that she is looking more towards her needs at #1 than her childs needs. It is kind of a selfish act on her part.
If she didn't want to face that kind of responsibility she never should have had a kid. Or at least given it up for adoption where someone grown up enough would be able to handle the responsibility much better.
She adopted the kid herself, from Cambodia.
There's a lot more to raising a kid than this. Looking more towards her needs? What, by going out once in a while? She isnt doing this 24/7. That's like saying a single mother is ignoring her child by going out on dates. She had needs too. She isnt leaving this kid at home alone to go out for 10 hours a day and to have sex. That's way out of proportion.
Could she be a bad mother? Of course. This doesnt make her a bad mother. Judging people on one thing you know about them isnt at all fair. I dont know this woman well enough to judge her as a parent.
well if the article got the situation right she isn't going out on dates. She is however seeming to be going out on sex dates. Which is irresponsible.
She could go out on a regular date with a guy and there wouldn't be anything wrong with that.
But from what the article said it looks like all she is looking for is mindless sex.
She must still think she is in a college sorority or even in highschool. Just taking a guess but if I had a decision to make on her I would say she is probably a bit on the immature side.
But what if on this regular date, this guy rapes and kills her? What if this regular date leads to sex, as many regular dates do? How can you say it's irresponsible only if she's just having sex? Is it better if he buys her dinner first?
Is it immature? Of course it is! But it doesnt make her a bad mother.
