Reese Throws Kids To The Wolves


Reese Witherspoon recently talked about her kids and how she wants them to cry.
“We all sort of deal with that in our own childhood or raising children. I wouldn’t want my kids to miss out on any of that teasing and bullying. It makes you who you are–when you don’t make the soccer team and you can’t… The thing that drives me crazy today is everyone wins the award. Everyone wins an MVP. No. They’re not! I distinctly recall the two weeks of crying because I didn’t make the volleyball team. It made me interesting."
I totally agree with the MVP thing. The kid who stands in the outfield picking his nose and cries when the ball comes to him does not deserve a MVP trophy. The parents should throw him a bone and sing his ass up for computer camp already.
I don't really feel the same about the bullying thing though.

I get what she is saying but yeah I don't agree with the bullying and teasing either...b/c whenever I hear my wee man is being bullied I am ready to kick some kid's ass, it does not make me all happy and think this is going to make him interesting........

I ALSO AGREE WITH THE MVP THING BUT NOT THE BULLYING OR TEASING, I WOULD RATHER HAVE K BE UNINTERESTING THAN PICKED ON AT SCHOOL.

I don't think you have to worry about wee K being bullied......Getting time off work three days a week to pick him up from the principals office is another thing...
