To think you shouldn't go on Big Brother if you have children

[Garcia10]

Watching the final show tonight and have just found out that the winner, Helen, has a son. Firstly, I've been watching it reasonably regularly and she hasn't mentioned him once!

Secondly, how can she leave him for ten weeks to go on a reality show?! Admittedly, I work away sometimes but never more than one week at a time. It is difficult and we (husband and daughter) find it hard but it is a necessity. Going on Big Brother isn't!

Finally, her behaviour on the show has been awful. The way she spoken to and treated other people is appalling. How could you let your child see this? Which undoubtedly he either has already or will do in the future.

What's the point of telling our children not to put anything on Facebook or whatever that could be detrimental when clearly you can earn stacks of cash from being horrible ( as long as you're good looking).

No problem with average people trying to get along in a house with other average people and winning money if they make it through. Just the idea that being fame hungry, having to look a certain way and being relentlessly bitchy wins you lots of money is anything we should have children aspire to.

Lots of people send children to boarding schools with very best intentions... How's that different?
