I have already asked a question about Anna Nicole, as a parent I would like to know from all, what would you do if your daughter or son became famous and had to deal with all the BS that goes with it? I am a father and I do not know if I can answer that question.

I suppose part of how they deal with it is how they've been raised. On the other hand, the money and fame can spin a person's head to the point where they completely change. I guess it depends on the individual and their personality.
You always hope for the best.

I would be there for them always and as I do now, be sure to have a constant healthy relationship with them and talk with them often. I would be sure to point out and be sure they realize the negative along with the positive that comes with being famous. There have been many who have climbed to the top only to fall. We all can learn from these famous people we see and the mistakes they make. The more famous they get the more people are out to use and abuse them. Some self destruct others do themselves in either because they can't handle the fame or they are so famous they become lonely because they find they can't trust anyone anymore. It's sad really, but the price of fame is high, that's why they get the big money, too bad it doesn't buy happiness too. =(

good questions, as to i am a parent of three a 15 year old almost 16 AHHH!!! a 8 year old both girls and a 6 year old son. though i have had some aqward times with my oldest and i have found i may have not made the best judgement or used the dr. phil approach in parenting, and i cannot say what i would do in any situation in advance, we are human and we make sudden decisions which involve mood, timing, and generally the situation which is or had accured. i find now with past mistakes its not hard to be upset and loose control of your main focus or just not know how to handle a given situation, becuase in parenting i thin k there is no such thing a winning. you will never win with your kids, you can only teach, do as you teach, and let your children grow and observe. your kids really look up to you, and watch what you do and say even at the moments you never think they are listening.

Coming from someone who is not a parent:
What is the chance something like that would happen? If it does, that's why the mother usually supports the kid. In some instances like Jessica Simpson the father does most of the work. Very rarely do both parents work together like for Cheyenne Kimball. It's something u just have to do or give up on. I recommend do. . .but life as a celebrity comes with many implications. BEWARE!!! before u get urself into something u can't handle.

Well, i would naturally tell my SOn/Daughter that they got their way in and they can get their way out, they always have a choice to quit and do something else if the BS and Paparrazzi is too much for them, just get out of the spotlight if its controlling your life, or if you feel its not worth it all.
I have seen the movie that Mel Gibson ,made about the Paparrazzi, its aweful. I would never want to be famous because of that partly..

Becoming famous does come with allot of BS to deal with, and unfortunately when anyone of any age comes face to face with ongoing fame it goes to your head and is overwhelming. Just keep emphasizing that your child needs to remain true to themselves and try not to lose sight of this and not what the rest of the Hollywood world demonstrates and shows as their normal world. Also, be there for your son or daughter when the craziness blows up to let them know that they're still who they originally were before all of this mess, but that they just got lost for awhile. Help them to return to who they really are and remind them to be true to who they are and who they want to really be.

Just hope you don't have to. Kids should be protected and not forced into adulthood. Childhood and youth are what all of us miss the most after it's gone, and when kids are thrust into that world, the first thing they lose is their childhood; the most magic time in life. What a waste. Feel sorry for all of them; inside they're all like Danny Bonnaducci! And he has about a snowball's chance in hell at finding happiness.

I guess I would have to remember that you can't believe everything you see/read or hear. And that my child is an adult and is no longer under my roof following my rules, so to speak, and living THEIR life now. At some point you have to let them go and hope that they take what you've instilled in them and live their lives as honest, productive human beings.
I would continue to talk to my child and offer them any type of help, love, assistance they may need.
And I'd pray. ALOT!!!!

If I had a child that was famous and had to deal with all that, I would hope I raised them well enough to be able to cope.
