Tom & Suri

[lucas]

Hope they are having a great time, but does this child ever walk!?! I swear in almost every picture I see, she's being carried. She's 6... put her down!!

I've been thinking the same thing - every pic has Tom carrying her. She walks with Katie.

 

[alexxussss]

LOL! I so agree! Put the child down and let her stretch those little legs!

Here is a link to some video footage. Looks like they were in an Adventureland store and walked over to the Magic Carpet ride.

I've seen Katie often carrying her in pics too.

I have been thinking the same thing all along. Let the child walk

I actually think it's nice that her dad carries her, who cares! Why must people always judge others about their children, be happy they take good care of her! I usually see her with a stuffed animal, blanket, whatever! I think it's nice. I am a gramma of 5, and could care less if they carry a lovie, bottle, or pacifier around! And who has the right to say when the parent should stop that! You all should be happy if they are kind to their children, and don't put tabasco sauce on the pacifier, or throw they blankies away because they are too old or whatever! Dang people, get off your high horses and leave them alone! Sorry for my rant, I just get so sick of people ripping on parents who actually carry their kids, or what have you! Did you ever think their being KIND- or should Suri really walk through all those pushing shoving people? He's just being protective.

I wish I was in WDW this week. I sure would be doing all I could to find Tom At least he is spending time with his daughter.

Or, he is bribing her so that she'll tell the judge she would rather be with her father. I feel sorry for the kid.

OK - I know this whole TomKat stuff is a bit crazy but......

Here is a 6 year old girl who just went through a heck of a lot of garbage with her VERY high profile parents.

Do you really think she would get a "normal" Disney World day? Really? I think not.

Not a huge fan of the whole TomKat crap but, come on - leave the 6 year old alone! She just wanted a day with her dad at Disney World. The media wasn't going to let that happen so, well, Disney World stepped in. I hope Suri had a very good day and could let a bit of that bad stuff just go away for a few hours. Because now she'll be back to all the stupid things that happen when you have two famous parents.

And unless anyone has two famous parents and is photographed non-stop, then no one has the right to judge.

I volunteer to be a test subject only if i get to keep Suri's pro-rated child support. Poor little rich girl poor kids come from broken homes too. imo having the world as your oyster has to help take a bit of the sting out of it.

Her parents have been parading her around for weeks. Let's hope sooner or later she'll experience what passes in her world as normalcy.

That's exactly my question.

What are they going to do when she gets to be 12, or even younger?

They can't carry her around forever.

Poor thing, she seems to be frightened from some of the photos I've seen.

I've been thinking the same thing - every pic has Tom carrying her. She walks with Katie.

I've seen photos of Katie carrying her too.

If they want or need to carry her, that's fine. I just think it's odd that she's 6 (I think) and being carried.

I do feel bad for Suri, because sometimes it looks like she's scared of the crowds.

 

[kittycruize]

When she's 12 she'll walk of course! I sense some envy here, how bout let them carry her if they feel that's best! What if someone told you how to parent and got snarky about it? I'm sure she'll stretch her legs when she needs to so everyone take a chill pill! Why do some people hate it when people seem to care for their kids? I still carry my 6 year old granddaughter when I dang well feel like it-who are you all to tell Tom or anyone else they shouldn't? And why does it bother you? Who cares?

 

[ttintagel]

I see LOTS of kids her age and older being carried or pushed around in strollers at WDW.

We see pictures of a total of MAYBE 5 minutes of a day, every few days. And because we have pictures, it means that he is being bombarded by people with cameras. I'd carry my son, too, if that were my life.

And *of course she can walk*. She is shown walking in many pictures as well. People just focus on what they want to because they think TC is weird because his religion seems odd to them.

Also - put that kid down and rent stroller!

Wait, what? So sitting on a seat, being pushed in front of your parent, so you can only see the strangers staring at you, instead of being up against your parent, being able to hide your face and get a constant hug (because that's what being carried IS), is better?

Yeah, I'd have to disagree.

I volunteer to be a test subject only if i get to keep Suri's pro-rated child support. Poor little rich girl poor kids come from broken homes too. imo having the world as your oyster has to help take a bit of the sting out of it.

Since I know a child of a now-late famous person, and KNOW how messed up his and his sister's (and their much older half-siblings') lives were *despite all that money*, I know how wrong you are, that having money can somehow make things better when your life has been ripped apart by parents separating. When his dad died, people actually said "well at least you have an inheritance". Because, you know, money means you don't miss your father.

This IS her normal life. At least her parents don't hide her from the world, carry her under a blanket, etc etc...they take her out in the world like normal people do, she gets vacations, she gets to see and do fun things... This IS normal for a child of very famous parents.

That's exactly my question.

What are they going to do when she gets to be 12, or even younger?

They can't carry her around forever.

You don't want her to be carried, but you're concerned that she's afraid. I wonder if that's why she's being carried...to help her?




I still give piggy back rides to my 60+ lbs, tall-enough-for-all-but-two-Universal-rides, 8 year old! And when he doesn't feel well, I carry him on my front, too. I'm all for Suri being carried; she looks a lot lighter than my son, and if it helps her feel better, that's even better!

Just saw the story on TMZ. Here is the pic:

So this looks like the Tiki Room? That fits with what people said about their being in Adventureland.
Anyone know, who are the people with them? Disney CMs? Their own entourage?

Do celebrities like them pay extra for the VIP treatment they get?

KITTYCRUIZE- I agree with you 100%. I never took my kids pacifiers or bottles away from them before they wanted. Now a days, parent's get all uptight about their kids having blankies, bottles or pacifiers. These things soothe them, why take them away? My son, who is almost 3, still has a binkie (at times) and it really comforts him. He also still has a milk bottle in the morning and before he goes to bed. I love holding and cuddling him when he has his bottles and he will just let me hold him for a while after he has his bottles, he loves being cuddled. I am in no rush to take away the things that make my children feel comforted. My 2 older 9 year olds, gave up their pacifiers and bottles when they were almost 4, and it did them no harm.

 

[Senator Tressel]

I used a pacifier until I was like seven and still turned out fine. Although people do tell me I suck.

A lot of truth in that!
