Answer 1

You know, in reading these answers, I find that most people seem to be in agreement that maybe this kid needed a wakeup call or something. But the thing they are forgetting is SHE IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD! You don't talk to an 11 year old that way! ESPECIALLY your daughter! No matter how angry you are with her or irregardless of how you feel, YOU are the adult, NOT her! If I was 11 and heard my dad talk to me that way, I would be scarred for life! A person should NEVER take out their frustration for their ex on their own child! I definitely think BOTH Kim and Alec need to take parenting courses, and counselling on top of that. And they BOTH need to take anger management courses. Those poor kids! Talk about being screwed up for the rest of your life! With parents like them, how can they not be? Shame, shame on Alec for treating his daughter that way, shame on Kim for leaking the tape, and double shame on both of them for putting their kids in the middle of this! This is the worst parenting I've seen in a long, long time!

Answer 2

I agree with distorte, but to a certain extent. Yes, some kids really do need a wake up call, but he could have done it less insulting and with more caring and fatherly love The guy has some issues, we all know that, but then like another poster said, there is 2 sides to every story before you judge somebody.

Plus, what does that say about Kim, especially if she was the one who leaked the tape out to the media to broadcast to the whole world? Why would anyone want something that personal to be shared with millions of folks around the world?

We don't know what events lead to the final blow up by Baldwin, so it would be kinda unfair to sit here and make opinions based off the nasty message he left. In all fairness, the man was mad about something that is obviously going on with his daughter, and trust me, for him to be as mad as he seemed on that message, it ain't all him, and something happened for him to be so mad.

Now if asking whether I agree with him and what was said, the answer is and always will be no. I think he could have got the same message across, but just wording it differently and not full of so many insults, the girl is still a child, a baby, and those hurtful words will stick with her forever.

I think he should take parental classes and yes, anger management, and maybe some counseling by a pyshiatrist or psychologist would help too, make him face some of the demons that have kept him in the negative side of the spotlight all these years.

Whatever happens, I wish him luck. I have seen first hand how kids of divorced parents act when the parents have moved on and remarried or whatever. The child is like 14 and he acts in some ways like he wants a relationship and some ways he or she doesn't. Then if you have a jealous ex wife or husband that is filling the kids heads up with garbage, you could have a situation like Baldwins. The kids call only when its convenient for them, and only when they want something, other than that, they have no use for you. In the mean time, you are paying child support and sending birthday cards/gifts and extra money for a kid who is ungrateful and can't pick up a phone to say I love you dad or mom. So yes, I have seen it first hand with my hubby's kids from a previous marriage and I have witnessed many blow ups ( not as severe as Baldwins) becuase of the way the kids were doing, so again, there are 2 sides to every story.

Answer 3

I think Alec Baldwin does need parenting classes and anger management. His actions towards his daughter are unacceptable and wrong! However, I think it is shameful that Kim Basinger leaked the tape to the press because now their daughter is humiliated by this publicity. When two people divorce and are fighting for a child people stoop to unbelievable levels. I think that Alec Baldwin made a terrible mistake. I think he should still be in his daughter's life because everyone needs a father. However, he needs counseling so that he can have a healthy relationship with Ireland.

Answer 4

Wow..I heard this and I couldn't even believe that any man would speak to his ELEVEN year old daughter in such a disgusting way. No matter how Mr. Baldwin was feeling, there is absolutely no excuse for his actions. I can understand that he has been feeling frusterated about this whole situation with his ex-wife and the custody battle, but there is no reasoning for this kind of behaviour. I'm sure that he was just so enraged that he really had little concept of what he was doing and how this would hurt her. Words can be so degrading.

Answer 5

I think I've seen and heard enough of people using their children as pawns post-divorce. Alec nor Kim are innocent and I truly doubt that this man could be pushed to doing this (if it's REALLY him) had Kim not been driving him crazy by using the children to hurt him for a long time. Other than that, it's sad and I believe that the courts should prosecute HER for thrusting her daughter into such a media feeding frenzy. They both need serious help.

Answer 6

Unbelieveable... you're apprehensive approximately "insufferable injury" to Alec?? What with regard to the insufferable injury he brought about to his daughter?? I artwork with too many babies who's mothers and fathers are so cranium-blocked on persevering with the conflict between them, on the potential conflict, on "triumphing" for the duration of their divorce and previous, that they thoroughly forget approximately with regard to the desires of their babies. the youngsters go through indescribable injury. no count what that little female has pronounced or completed, there isn't any excuse for him speaking to her in that way. actual none. the wear and tear grew to become into completed whilst he left the message, not whilst it grew to become into made public. Alec and Kim are meant to be grown-ups. they don't could be married to a minimum of one yet another to any extent further, yet they could be accountable mothers and fathers, for the sake of their daughter. meaning they don't relay messages to a minimum of one yet another by using her, they don't sabotage her relationsihp with the different discern, and that they don't do or say something that could make her sense as though she's having to pick which ones she will ingredient with. they could by no potential talk negatively approximately one yet another... they could each and each practice the different appreciate, as their baby's different discern. As confusing as that's to think of, the youngsters have a much greater suitable probability of popping out emotionally entire whilst the mothers and fathers can boost up and think of of the youngsters first.

Answer 7

What an idiot!! I think Anger Management classes are a good idea, but parenting classes would do him no good. I would not let my children's father see my kids if he acted like that no matter what classes he took. Seriously, that's scary stuff. Poor girl! I feel scared for her.

Because he is a celebrity, I also have to take this with a grain of salt. We got the message, but not what transpired before it was left. Not that it makes it right by ANY means.

Answer 8

I personally don't see anything wrong with what he said to his daughter.
According to the news, he has a set time everyday to call his daughter. Obviously his daughter wasn't their to take his call not only that day, but probably several days as well. Knowing that this was his set time, she had no excuse not to answer this phone. He was frustrated and sick of talking to a voice mail and let her know exactly how he felt about it. How would you feel if you had only telephone visitation with your child and they knowing this never answered your calls?? You would probably be pretty frustrated as well.
In my opinion he did nothing wrong but get frustrated by a spoiled daughter and an impossible mother. She is just as much to blame. I don't understand why this phone call was made public. Its nobody's business but the three of them.

Answer 9

Have YOU ever dealt with an ungrateful child who blew you off after making you jump through hoops to satisfy their whims?

A father was pissed off and blew off some steam. Kids need to learn that they aren't the center of the universe. I'm sick of all these Hippies raising their kids by never saying a bad thing to them or punishing them, raising spoiled self centered antisocial little twerps who become smarmy adults.

Kids need to be disciplined, and that includes occasionally getting pissed off and telling them off.

To all the folks saying he's psycho or a bad parent I say this: Enjoy the rotten little b***ards you're going to raise by refusing to properly discipline them.

No, I'm not saying you need to spank your child. I know people who've never raised their hand to their kids who are regardless raising great kids. What I am saying is trying to be your kid's buddy or best friend will result in your kid being a rotten little SOB.

Answer 10

I think Alec Baldwin is entitled to his privacy and this should never have been made public. If you are a parent you know that we all lose it once in a while with our kids. So he isn't perfect-give me a break, who is? Maybe the kid does need straightening out.
