I used to really like her and i still really like her music but since the whole adoption/attention seeking thing, she really annoys me. The reason i am writing this is because i heard someone say yesterday about how she built her fortune on promoting casual sex and leading teenagers to be premiscious yet with her own kids she doesn't expose them to any form of sex/violence of any kind. Its just been bugging me.

Yeah she was brought up as a strict Catholic. I just wonder when Lourdes is older, if she decides to follow in her mums footsteps, whether Madonna will be behind that or not?

me too- drugs, men the lot.

I would go mental if either of my kids behaved like me in the teens/twenties.

YABU, simply because, (I assume) that you do not know her. You do not, nor do any of us, actually know anything about her. It seems rather ridiculous to decide things about people based on stories that comes through gossip magazines and websites.

Please note that I am not referring to anything related to famous people courting publicity and then hating it.

But, to take stories about celebrities at face value seems silly to me, when most of these sources just make stuff up.

that makes me a hypocrit too then im afraid

i tried all manner of drugs and men, certainly wouldnt want my dds to do the same

think her father was strict with her. her mum died early. she rebelled big time. perhaps her kids will do the same. then be very strict with their kids...

?

I think her fortune has mostly been about her being an 'entertainer' who re-invents herself.

I do like Madonna- im not 'mad' about her, but I have grown up with her music and think that she is a good entertainer.

How she raises her kids is down to her, I have lead quite a promiscuous youth- I wouldnt want my kids to do the same.

AnnieOleTing · 15/05/2007 16:33

she has grown up since having her own children. think we all do.

like any of us - when young you think casual sex is great then you become a mother...

or is that just me
