Katie & Suri Brave the NYC Rain

maybe suri is an extraterrestial …and that may explain why she doesn’t feel the cold

Just because I’m not a parent like I repeatedly admit, it doesn’t mean I can’t rationalize and explain and be genuinely perplexed by some accusations that are just too bizarre to accept, #216.

******************************************************************************************************************

A question about Katie’s behaviour in the Central Park video was put to those of us who are parents, the point being that there are some things that will only be apparent to those with first hand experience. As a parent myself, i responded in as unbiased a manner as possible (offering both an innocuous as well as a damning possible explanation). Despite the fact that you are NOT a parent, you called into doubt the validity of my perspective. Because (it would seem) you are not willing to entertain any idea that is less than rosy about the Cruise’s. You are completely biased in their favour. Your default position is to doubt anything - no matter how little you might actually know about the subject - that might make for detrimental P.R. to the Cruise’s. All it does is undermine the sense of impartiality many have of your position.

Eel O’Brian:
“Like you said, #218, we’re going on too little to say she;s becoming a disrespectful brat especially when the whole world think that TomKat is allowing her to be one hence many are imagining stuff. She’s only 2 years old and not every cry or scream has to be magnified into something more than that. (For example, was that really a ’slap’ and couldn’t she just be trying to get in by herself?)”

When Katie attempted to put a cardigan on Suri (in the park video), she immediately started to bawl about it. I think it is safe to say that the natural, maternal response would be to try and negotiate with the child. “Why Suri?”, “aren’t you cold!?”, “look at all the other children - they’re all wrapped up nice and warmly!”. And as a last resort “Come on, Suri. You want to stay and play at the park, don’t you? Your arms are very cold, so if you aren’t going to put the jacket on we’ll have to just leave now”. That is the sort of response i would expect from a warm, caring, responsible parent. But when Suri reacts, Katie doesn’t say a word. She just gives up at the slightest resistance, taking the blanket and wrapping it around her before carrying her from the park in an oddly unresponsive manner. Very robotic! If that’s Katie’s idea of nurturing, no wonder so many people have commented that Suri seems a bit detached or dissociated looking, or as some people suggested, autistic. The outcome is that Suri didn’t have to do what her mother felt was necessary for her wellbeing, which resulted in her being bundled up like a baby and removed from the park and the outside world, and quite probably taken back to a palacial existence with her own, private, indoor playroom with all the toys a child could dream of. I suspect she is being brought up to believe that the entire universe revolves around her! :?

Yes, it is odd how detached both Katie and Suri seem towards each other and the world around them. Most 2-3 year olds live in the moment. They are happy and joyful and love life and are curious about the little people around them. Suri isn’t like this at all.
Most parents of 2-3 yr olds at the park are having just as much fun OR MORE fun then their children. They are living in the moment through their kids. It’s a wonderful feeling and I myself enjoyed playing just as much as the kids.
Again, I rarely see that with Katie.
Neither look like they are enjoying life.
It’s very sad.

I think it’s pretty clear that Tom and Katie are leading separate lives. They love each other, but just like Nicole, Katie doesn’t want anything to do with scientology. Tom loves her so much that he very much wants her to embrace it because he lives for scientology but he is also giving her space to feel free. She moved to NY to do the play, away from him but not for good. Tom will allow her a few freedoms and for specific periods but he won’t let her go. And he is using Suri to hold on to Katie. Katie sees and knows what happened when Nicole was out of his life, he limited time with the kids and is raising them as scientologists whether Nicole is on board or not. Katie would rather stay with Suri than leave Suri. Don’t you see how it’s stripping away at her. Katie is so the opposite of Tom but for him she is exactly wants he wants.

she should have tights on. I am not perfect-parent, but even I know that much! Her legs look blue, wtf? Is Katie on Lithium or something?
