OlderJoel Madden: I Suck at Diapers
Proud papa Joel Madden just blogged a fun entry about new life as a father on his DCMA Collective Web site.
Here’s what he wrote under the title “IT’S A GIRL!!!!!” (yes, with that many exclamation points):
“Well, I am finally home with my beautiful girlfriend and our brand new little daughter. Harlow Winter Kate Madden was born on January 11th, 2008 at 3:13pm. She weighed in at 6 pounds and 7 ounces. She is 19 inches long and growing everyday already! She really is a wonderful addition to the GC/DCMA/DEADEXEC family. We are so blessed to have this beautiful little baby in our lives.”
Madden, 28, is quite grateful to all of his friends, family and fans: “I want to thank everyone for all the love and kind words they’ve sent our way. We apologize we weren’t accepting gifts/cards/calls at the hospital, but if you’d like to send something, we’d rather you make a donation to the richie-madden foundation, which we started in Harlow Winter’s honor.”
Joel even wrote how much Harlow looks like mom Nicole Richie: “She looks so much like her mom it’s crazy! She eats like a little maniac and she’s really sweet. She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her diaper, and believe me, I suck when it comes to diapers, but I’m learning! I can’t wait to show off some pictures, until then, THANKS!! and GOD BLESS….. Joel”

And what is wrong with them honoring their daughter? Nobody is gagging on silver a silver spoon here. The money goes to children in less fortunate situations in case you didn’t know, not to their daughter. Who knows, maybe one day Harlow will be involved in this foundation started by her proud parents and do some great things. Is this not a worthwhile cause? I hope it is successful in achieving its mission and I think its a thoughtful and wonderlful idea no matter how great or small it might be.

Get on the planet. Parents are supposed to love their own but being born (into financial advantage) doesn’t deserve anyone honor from anyone. Honor and respect is earned throughout a lifetime. The parents have a job ahead yet. Let’s see them honor a two year old and see how far up the supermarket isle they get.

(Ref.http://dictionary.reference.com)
As you can see the word ‘honor’ has many definitions. People set up foundations in memory of their children who have died at a young age before they have had a chance to experience a full lifetime and achieve greatness or do things that are on a grandueur scale. Do we not honor small children at birthday parties to celebrate their mere existence within the world and our lives? The Richie-Madden Foundation was born of the love that both parents share for their daughter and a celebration of the blessing they have received from her birth; hence ‘in honor of’. Why do you have a problem with this? Furthermore, I don’t see what supermarkets have to do with this discussion but I guess I shouldn’t expect more from someone who can’t obviously see reason and calls themselves ‘Sandbitch’ so with that, enough said.
I think it’s great their honoring their daughter. Iris ITA.
Sandb*tch agree to disagree.
Time for leaving a kind comment for a couple who are celebrating their new arrival. Joel is very proud.
He’s smitten with his lady/baby girl, awww.
Awwwwwwwwww. One proud Daddy. How cute is he!
“eats like a maniac”—– i do not believe that is one of nicole’s characteristics
Hopefully Nicole won’t crack under the pressure and start using drugs again.
Harlow Winter? What a lame dumb name!
So sweet, congrats
It’s so lovely :)
All the best wishes for them!
I wonder if Nicole named her daughter after Jean Harlow, an actress from the 1920’s who was a sex symbol and slept around so much that she died from a horrible blood infection from one too many abortions (they were unsafe and unsanitary and Illegal back then…I am so glad that we have legal abortions in this country and we, as a society, should NEVER take away a woman right to choose and her right to have safe medical care).
Harlow was a harlot in her day, so the name is just an interesting choice. At least she didn’t name her after a piece of fruit.
cant wait to see her!
IRIS FTW! :] i agree with everything.
lmao, what’s so HORRIBLE about having a foundation? or should i say, why is it so bad to help others? cause if you are against something like that, you’ve probably never even spent a cent on anyone before. jesus, some people ***** about everything. anyways, joel is a cutie as always.
that poor kid, watch nicole leave the kid in the car. as for madded he seems like he will be a great father, Nicole well im not so sure about her.
good 4 them; this is truly a great match, and they are on the same page. they’ll be great parents and partners.
