That would be some shyt if they got back together though, they were so cute.
Well that’ll be cute if Usher and Chilli got back together! I guess :Shrugs:
I meant
I am glad she addressed that she is moving forward because the purposeful questions that are meant to lead back to her relationship with Usher are annoying.
i think she definitely still has fond memories of him and probably regrets acting so hastily in regards to their breakup. but she’s just waaaaaay to picky and i don’t think any man who knows his worth is gonna tolerate that mess from her. like Dallas said during the show, he smoked and drank while they dated and although she may not have liked it, he didn’t let it change who he was as a person.
I dont care one way or another if she gets back with Usher he still gone cheat on her if they do hook back up abd btw usher smokes and drinks so her list is a bunch of bs!!!!
Nightline is also doing another why are so many black women not married special later this mth w/steve harvey, hill harper and jacque reed they filmed it here n the A last fri
So let me get this right, all around the world schools are closing and people are loosing their jobs and ABC is reporting that a baby haired, bankrupt heffa can’t find a man

I wish they would leave us the hell. I am tired of the targeting of black women for everything negative. Now that we are achievers academically and economically they want to remind us we are still not enough because no one wants us. Or we are diseased OR if we stop forging ahead and pile on welfare then we are nothing more than trash and a government burden. It seems we cannot win.
Furthermore, Steve Harvey and all the others are just using our issues to further their careers.
Sorry for the long rant, but I am sick of this chit and will not be watching any of that crap.
Yea, Usher forgot about Chili a marriage, two babies, a gazillion 3somes ago. He ain’t thinking about her!
@ Ebony- Why why why??????
Nothing wrong with a lady having a list of expectations

I think it would be dumb for her to get back with Usher! Marrying Tameka was a slap in the face. I wouldn’t even mention his name anymore. I watched the Show last Sunday and I was not impressed. I love Chilli but I want her to straighten her hair and leave the baby hair alone please

@ VIBABY
chili and usher made a very cute couple
floyd mayweather….
I won’t even comment on him
is tiona the person that they were looking for to be chili’s “best friend”? It’s so obvious that they just cast her on the show and begin filming before her and chili even really got to know each other.
@ Ebony ::dead::
i def think a lot of women have unrealistic expectations when it comes to relationships. i hear lists like Chilli’s – and worse – all the time and these are the women who claim they want a relationship so bad. i agree that infidelity is a dealbreaker but all that b.s. like he gotta be ‘just so tall, drive this kinda car, have his own house, make 6 figures, blah, blah, blah’ is a huge turnoff.
hubby and i built what we have TOGETHER over the course of our marriage. i fell in love with his character, integrity and how he respected and cherished me as a woman. he didn’t have a fancy car, wasn’t making much money (i made more than him at the time, now its reversed), lived with his mother AND he didn’t have a college degree. i wouldn’t trade my hard-working, blue collar husband for nothing in the world.
keep on making lists and let me know how that works out for ya.

or even about the black women that ARE happily married…something positive. Black marriage is so underrated. It always gets shown in a negative light.
Why are there not ongoing stories about all the Asian men that are not marrying because the Asian women are marrying other races in droves? I want to see sistahs stop participating in these dumb INSPECTIONS (because they are not investigating chit) and remind them that we are not victims, we just took our mamas advice to better ourselves than they did and many brothas did not keep up.
@mizzdallas,@ebony LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t even need to comment now!
@Ebony please stop it. My abs hurt.
i started watching this but the whole storyline is dumb. i can’t believe somebody’s paying her for this. i did find myself liking tionna but her damn watermelons were so huge that they were distracting me. there’s nothing to see there folks.
i was trying to wait for basketball wives but fell asleep.
Usher and Chilli need to get married so folks can move on with their lives. Next.
@gyspy…you got abs? GO HEAD GIRL!! I’m trying to get like you! I can only say my stomach hurt

Probably because keeping black women in the marriageless, unwanted, and diseased status makes for better TV, and just another excuse to put us down. That seems to be the going trend in now days.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
under the fat there used to be abs. Working on them though. I haven’t seen them in forever.
Sandra why are the comments off in the post from Heather? I think her letter great. My heart goes out to her when I think about how she must’ve felt when she saw your post. smh
I wish ppl would stop trying to push Usher and Chilli back together. Didn’t he cheat on her with that lyin heffa Tameka and they ended up having 2 kids years later? How weird would that be… after all these years? Her and Floyd Mayweather are cute as a button together though and it seems like she digs him and vice versa.
The fact the Chili still gave Usher ANY shine in her show tells me that she’d get back with him if he really wanted her.
Whoever said he slapped her in the face marrying Tameka hit the nail on the head. You wanted to settle down, get married and have babies with this man and he cheated on you and then gave you that ultimate KO by doing EVERYTHING you wanted to do with someone else. If she takes him back she deserves everything she has coming when the ablum comes out.

about the Heater letter….little girl is really cute with those fat jaws…but to the issue. Those pictures were inappropriate for the internet. It’s simple as that. When DFACS and the FBI show up at her door for child pornography, is she going to tell them a sob story too? Yes! People have been arrested for the “tub” photos.
@ KrazyKat
the media talks just as bad about Black marriages so it’s a lose-lose all the way around for Black people, in general, where the media is concerned. how do you think it makes married people feel when we are also constantly bombarded with images of cheating husbands, DL husbands caught by their wives, jumpoffs and girlfriends calling themselves ‘real housewives’, ‘basketball wives’, etc?
@speak you are married for yrs if I recall so its easy for you to look down on list(I don’t have one) BUT when women don’t have standards then folks talk about them for not having standards I think the key is balance IMO. Eveyrbody knows what they like/dont like and what they can/cant deal w/. I would love to be in a relationship and I am open to such but until that time comes I will keep on serving God and living my life like its golden. I know when I do get married I won’t forget how hard the dating scene and flip it back on women (women n men are flawed) yet it seems like all the energy to get/keep a man is directed at women
Steps off soapbox #carryon
ok, about the Heather letter again….this makes me mad
“As parents, our children and their safety and security and identity are our absolute number one priority in life. We immediately made the decision to pull Party of Five off the internet so that you — or others — will no longer be able to do what you’ve done to our family.”
They should have thought about this before they put this on the WORLD WIDE WEB! I can’t believe she’s blaming others. Yes, Sandra may have taken the photos out of context. But the fact of the matter is that the photos were available to be taken out of context. They were available to the world, which includes sexual predators. She had poor judgment about posting the pics. Now she’s facing the consequences of that poor decision.

lmao @ folks thats gonna post Heather comments here lol lol lol
Chilli is so real. I love it! Ive always supported her.
I have tears in my eyes. I know that ppl feel some kind of way about it but those are ‘THEIR’ children. They look very happy. I mean how many ppl took the time to do the paperwork and file for adoption of the many black children in foster homes. Sandra, I know that this is your blog and you do what you want but this was just an everyday non-celeb family and I don’t think that they deserved the scrutiny that you put on them with your post yesterday.
Why in the world would you close the comments section on some shyt that you started? I kind of figured that those pictures might not encompass the entire family perception of their blog. Sandra, I’m ashamed of you. If you have a problem with white people adopting black kids, do something about it. Adopt some black kids of your own.
Why no comments for the letter Sandra? Damn you really hurt that lady.

Basically they need to leave us black folks the fug alone period. I liked it better when they ignored us. When they show “concern” its only to highlight your issues to make them feel validated in their stereotypes of us.

Or the fact that PEOPLE in general are marrying later in life. Not every woman has the desire to be a child bride only to wind up looking like the people in the back of Jet magazine on their 75th anniversary – mad as hell, or as someone said yesterday “This bish here…”.
What about the percentage of people who have no desire to marry? All of these one-sided studies irk me!

I agree. I’m sure it feels horrible because there are black people who are very happily married and have wonderful lives. I get sick and tired of the media acting as though black people are not human – always focusing on the negative aspects, but unfortunately, sometimes many of us do the same.

I still think two of the pics were wrong. Yes we all have them of our kids, but when you post them on the internet is when the thin line is a red flag. I don’t doubt that they are a loving family, but sometimes the smartest ppl don’t make the best choices. Isn’t she a Professor? Does she not know that what you post in cyber space someone is going to see it.
@gypsy
I almost teared up too. She isn’t a celebrity. It was her personal blog for her family.
lmao @ folks thats gonna post Heather comments here
that’s what you do. lol
@ Daisy
i agree with you wholeheartedly. but i see all too often women who will turn their nose up at the UPS/Fedex delivery guy like he ain’t good enough. all i’m saying is it’s worth getting to know a person beyond what kind of material things they have before writing them off as not being on your ‘level’, and a lot of women/men are guilty of just that.
Also, why does a woman have to have a man? There are countless black women who choose to be single. Why are women only validated by the man they have on their shoulder? I’d rather be alone than living miserably with someone just because he’s a male. Thankfully, that’s not the case.
It seems like whenever we have a dating show on VH1, the “Why Can’t Black Women Find a Man,” stories begin to appear, yet there’s never a story about other races finding men when The Bachelor, Rock of Love Bus, Date Screech, etc. are on…#justsayin
Nightline needs to focus on the news because this ain’t it.
this shyt right here…

I think sandra did the right thing by closing the comments(yea can’t believe i wrote that lol)…but i went through the blog, and those pics weren’t representative of the blog. I think that post should of been deleted to be honest, but i think closing the comments ends it. There not celebrities, there not famous….we could of done w/ out the post. And I agree with the gypsyeyes!!!
I do get what Heather was saying but if the blog helped so many people and they feel they did nothing wrong with the blog and it’s contents, then why close the blog?

Yep!! Material things does not equal love. I am currently making more than my husband(just married) and he’s in school and drives a regular car. YEt I know this guy that has a great career, nice truck, and his wife spends when she wants yet he’s cheating on her left and right and she is MISERABLE! So give me my average Joe anyday. As long as we aren’t missing a meal and live in a decent house I’m good.

Congrats on the marriage!! You are right. Most people can’t look past the present to the future. Your hubby is in school and will likely be making decent money when he graduates.
A lot of females will frown up at the man that’s not balling right now, and then be looking like a fool when she see him 5 yrs later and he happily married with kids and the luxury car and big house.
Regarding the Heather letter – so she’s blaming SR for closing the blog? Well if my memory serves me correctly, people were making negative comments on the blog long before SR posted it, so I’m confused.
@krazy I agree not everybody wants to be married but I know I do I would rather marry than burn
@la I think because there isn’t a “shortage” of men in other races so to speak
@speak I agree w/that but that’s not the same as having a list but I feel you.some women do turn their nose up at blue collar men.my daddy was blue collar n my mama hasn’t wanted for anything a day in her life they been together over 30yrs n counting
Why don’t some of you contact them and show them your support? Maybe they’ll put the blog back up. I’m sure they would be delighted to know that some SR readers are fans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For fear of what happened yesterday.I mean the kids faces are exposed in a negative way. Sandra only highlighted what she knew would enrage ppl. She did not post a link to the site to show what the family was about. Those kids are getting the opporitunity to have a life better than what they could have. People have fun with their kids all kinds of ways. I do and to my family I post pictures. (I haven’t taken pictures of their butts but have been known to show bath time). Sandy didn’t happen upon their page someone directed her to it. She took it and chose what she knew would bring her hits to her blog without thinking of the backlash that this family would get. I know that there are some sickos out there but guess what? If they are sexual predators they are gonna look at a fully clothed kid the same way.
Why in the world would you close the comments section on some shyt that you started? I kind of figured that those pictures might not encompass the entire family perception of their blog. Sandra, I’m ashamed of you. If you have a problem with white people adopting black kids, do something about it. Adopt some black kids of your own.
**********************************************
Sandra, We all make mistakes. The best way for an adult to make up for that mistake is to Pray and Apologize. Say a pray for forgiveness and then write an open letter apologizing to Heather and her family on your blog and move on. You might want to post some additional pictures more accurately reflecting the love that they have for their kids and family.
I did not comment on the Heather post yesterday because I thought it was in poor taste. MOST people take bathtub pics of their children…and my brother and I who are a year and a half apart bathed together until we were about 7 or so because it was fun for us. Children are children…innocent…and they don’t get corrupted until adults put their views in their head. So for those boys, all they know is that they have 2 parents who LOVE them. How many BLACK fathers can comb hair much less a white man who took the time out to learn to twist his son’s hair to make sure they have an ethnic hairstyle in keeping with their culture???? They didn’t ask for the scrutiny and I appreciate the well written, thoughtful letter she wrote to Sandra and I would hope the post and her letter and all traces of them get deleted because it’s not fair to her and her family to be open to this.

I know women that feel the same. Maybe it’s just our area(s).
Mspeng – the issue for most was not them taking a bath together. The issue many had was it being posted on the Internet. Oh, and I know black fathers that can whip their daughter’s hair together something fierce.

and
May God grant you and your fam peace and comfort during your time of sorrow
I have 2 gfriends who adopoted kids but they went through the foster care system because it was cheaper. Money is the main reason I think more blacks don’t adopot that and they are already helping raise kids that already arent theirs. I say kudos to anybody that has the money and love to adopot a child
@Cinnamon, I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
@Krazy I just asked my sister where my niece was she said w/her daddy so he could do her hair
She said he does it better than her and she sits still and listens to him she will be 2 in July and hates gettig her hair done.
@Daisy – :lolol:
I know that’s right! I’ve seen some men hook their daughter’s hair up something fierce. He must be good because a 2 year old sitting still says a lot about daddy’s skills.
Thanks guys I

Not even surprised that the comments are off in the “Heather” post. But Auntie, please amuse us and tell us why you did that….
@Daisy, In some states, you can get financial help w/ fostering and adopting Black children since they’re considered “Special Needs” because of their race.
Aunty gives an explanation in the original post. I don’t know if I believe that is why she did it but it’s ‘her’ explanation.

She did not blame Sandra for her blog closing…….
While I did not agree with the nude photos being on the internet, its apparent that the children are loved to the max and it was obvious she was trying to convey that. The way this played out makes me sad. There is nothing worse than when you mean well, but others make it out to be something very negative.
@Speak, totally off topic, but if you don’t mind, can you give me the name of that supplement that you mentioned a little while ago. I went to GNC looking like Angela Bassett in waiting to Exhale looking for it yesterday.

Because now it’s turned into something DIRTY in the eyes of others. It’s hurtful I’m sure and she didn’t ask for it per se.

Oh okay and maybe there were people who can’t log on here but read the story over here and felt the need to air their opinions out over on her blog.
Thanks EVERYONE.
@ MKM……not sure yet. She fell asleep and never woke up. She is really young so we don’t know. I think she was taking sleeping pills and pain pills. Im so sad for her kids. They no longer have a mother. They are still babies.
@cinnamon kisses
My condolences to you and your family, I will definitely pray for you all.
@Cinnamon…that’s sooooo sad.

Regarding the Heather letter – so she’s blaming SR for closing the blog? Well if my memory serves me correctly, people were making negative comments on the blog long before SR posted it, so I’m confused.
————-
I think it was a very concentrated crowd that sent her those emails. I visit alot of the YT SAHM/ homemaker blogs( they are actually pretty cool) and you will normally see most of the same commenters and their online community is pretty big. I think when Sandra put it on her blog it opened her family up to a whole new world of readers that would certainly see an issue with the pictures, race of the parents,etc. Sandra knew what she was doing. A mean-spirited mess.
(In Neffe’s irritated voice) At the end of the day, the twins are being loved and cared for.
@cinamom so sorry to hear that. Life is so precious.
for the babies
I didn’t read the party of 5/heather post today or yesterday
I just looked at the pics never commented glad @vibaby cleared up my question though abt her blaming sandra (which it seems she wasn’t after all)
Cinnamon my condolences and thanks for sharing. We sometimes get caught up in our own little world that we forget others around us. Let us remember to phone a friend and always pray.

In the first sentence, she states that when she realized Sandra had posted the “Part of Five” on her blog, she took it down. That sounds like blame to me.

Why in the world would you close the comments section on some shyt that you started?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I also believe that the comments were closed out of respect for the mother to prevent further embarrassment for her and her children. If Sandra wanted to rip her a new one, we all know Sandra well enough to know that she would have done that without a problem.
So, the fact that she simply posted her response without a response of her own spoke volumes to me. I honestly think she closed comments to stop further ignorant comments toward a lady who reached out to her respectfully.
***********************************
I’ve been reading this blog for a couple of years and have never seen the majority of commenters not respond to a post intelligently when given all of the facts accurately. Sandra is well aware of this. I think Sandra’s more concerned about them ripping Sandra a new one.

Nightshift, if I recall the post, there were more people supportive of this family than not, so I don’t see why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch. Some just thought that you don’t post nekkid pics of kids on a website.

that’s what I thought also,
“then we started getting a lot of strange comments coming in on the Party of Five blog… and it didn’t take long for us to trace them back to your blog post.”
“We immediately made the decision to pull Party of Five off the internet so that you — or others — will no longer be able to do what you’ve done to our family.”
all of that sounds like blame to me
This statement she wrote had me thinking she closed the blog because of Sandra: “We immediately made the decision to pull Party of Five off the internet so that you — or others — will no longer be able to do what you’ve done to our family.”
@Cinnamon
I’m so sorry…I will keep your family in my prayers.
I know Sandra can be off the hook but this woman posted pics on a public blog, unfortunately Sandra gave her a new urban audience she wasn’t use to.
@ CinnamonKisses
done!
@Cinnamon
Sorry to hear about your loss..that’s so tragic…I will keep you all in my prayers.
@Ms.truth – Yeah! It clearly sounded like blame to me, but sometimes I don’t always see things clearly so…
either way, can we get a
??? these people aren’t doing anything for me…no entertainment (their pics weren’t amusing), no laughter (nothing funny about pics of naked babies), no benefit (it’s not going to benefit me whether or not they’re investigated about these photos or whether or not their feelings were hurt about something they posted to the public :shrug:)
@cinnamonkisses – my heart hurts for your family – especially the babies. Wow! God bless you all!
it’s called Metabolic Advantage. i thought GNC carried it but they can be so ‘bougie’ sometimes. i know Vitamin Shoppe and Whole Foods has it. Also, try one of the locally owned herbal shops in your area. if all else fails, you can purchase it online at any number of online retailers (vitacost is one).
@ms.truth – I know that’s the truth, huh.
Chili really needs to get past gay Usher. Or, she should just LIE about her favorite date, etc. I wouldn’t speak Usher’s name again if I were her.
Keeping your family in my prayers @Cinnamon
I don’t think people should post nude pics of their children on the internet. No matter how innocent, it’s obvious there are perverts everywhere!!
I’m sure Sandy gave her blog some unexpected attention. How did you find it anyway? @Sandy
I visited the Party of Five blog after reading this blog and I must say the family seems very healthy and loving.
AH SNAP! *licks screen* @ Civil
Heather Post comment:
Yes, Sandra brought it to her blog for others to see. Many may not have stumbled upon it (as it was already up on the web).But, like Heather said “other people on her blog were making negative comments thats why she made it private”
Sandra choose the photos that jump out at her (yes to maker her post JUICY) but the photos made her and SOME OF YOU question what’s going on in those folks home.
JUST MY LITTLE OLE” OPINION!
First and foremost, Cinnamon I am VERY sorry for your loss sista. You are in my prayers.
You mfs are killing me judging that woman about HER damn blog with pictures of HER kids…a blog that was meant to share with HER family and friends NOT to be put on a damn urban blog so the negative ass black people can bring up their underlying issues of her raising black boys (probably better than the ones who are complaining were raised).
She is a professor NOT a damn ATL celeb. Why were the worse possible pictures taken and put on a public blog? For no other purpose than what happened, for the mother to be slammed and judge. Boy SR, we don’t disappoint.
Do yall know how many blog are on the internet being used for family and friends to keep in touch? Her only mistake was keeping it public, especially after the ignorant folks came on ther to harp on her about properly raising her sons. Heather don’t let these negative ass bishes keep you from doing whatever you think is best for YOUR FAMILY!!
Let them take their asses to Haiti and adopt twins and raise them since everyone wants to raise yours now.
@Speak, is that the one for PMS? I’ll try to buy it online. Thank you and ms. truth!
@ Cinnamon kisses, I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I will definitely pray for you and your family.
Damn when I read that back I sounded INTENSEish… :lolol: oh well. This has me heatedd!! Messing with that damn lady.
And the bible thumpers are a judging again SMH
Oh well n that case does sound like she blamed sandra after all
Well not just blacks saw problems with the pic’s my boss (a YT) made some not so nice comments after seeing the pic’s on the blog. She was uncomfortable about more than just the nudity.
ms.truth Says:
about the Heater letter….little girl is really cute with those fat jaws…but to the issue. Those pictures were inappropriate for the internet. It’s simple as that. When DFACS and the FBI show up at her door for child pornography, is she going to tell them a sob story too? Yes! People have been arrested for the “tub” photos.
****************************************************
all i saw were *sses, which is what you see in all naked baby pics. where were the police when puffy had his twins’ tits showing? child predators have lots of places to go on the internet other than this lady’s blog. DFACS needs to be concerned about the kids in the ovens.
Yesterday Sandra spinned the story in a manner to spark controvery and negativity. Had she been fair and balanced with the reporting and the pictures, the response and the comments that were generated from yesterday’s blog would have most likely been different. But that’s too much like right. It’s unfortunate that a family has been singled out and picked on just to get some blog hits.
gypsyeyes Says: Aunty gives an explanation in the original post. I don’t know if I believe that is why she did it but it’s ‘her’ explanation.
*****************************************************
SR backpedaled so much, the chain came off the bike.
Please! Ain’t nobody doing anything to these people. Folks all emotional over nothing. I’m sure they’ve moved on and you got people up in here having heart attacks over PEOPLE’S OPINIONS. There are so many other necessary things to get angry about. SMH at the drama. That is ALL.

As I stated yesterday, I too took issue with the nude photos being on the internet, but I was mostly talking about Sandra’s possible intent. While this community may have been more supportive than negative, we have no idea how many lurkers on SR that went to that family’s blog and sent nasty emails to Heather. I am sure Sandra’s lurker numbers is huge.
@ LaTechGrad02
it’s not for PMS specifically. see, yall gon’ have the folks at my job/home trying to arrest me for giving out medical advice without a license. THAT IS NOT THE CASE!! *for any law enforcement people who read SR* and you know SR will throw up a post in 5,4,3,2… talmbout how supplements can kill you, don’t work as well as prescription drugs, yaddayaddayadda
google Metabolic Advantage and read about it. if you have fibroids or endometriosis, google Fibrovan or nattokinase and read about those as well.
I read some of the comments and just want to give my 2 cents on Chilli. She’s single cause she wants to be. She’s an almost 40 year old woman running around with a list that sounds like a high school senior typed it up and wondering why she can’t find a man all the while still giving inteviews about her boyfriend from what 2001 or 2002. Its time for her to move on from Usher and grow up or she will be single or in these nonsense public relationships that aren’t going anywhere. She has a son old enough to see her on tv, read about her online and make judgements about women based on what he sees HER doing. I wouldn’t even go on a reality show especially one about dating knowing I have kids at home. I’m just trying to imagine how her son felt watching the first episode and hearing that his mom wants a man with a big d*ck??? Ill be back after I finish reading
Thank you about the fibroids thing because I have recently developed them and they are the debil.
For some reason I don’t think it was as easy as a move on for that mother. We really don’t know the hurt and fear she is feeling right now. We have NO idea the emotional damage the additional emails have done to her. She has raised those children since they were babies and they are HER babies. I am know I am mother bearish about my child and it would devastate me if I was completely scrunitized all over the web about my parenting skills when I never meant any harm to my child(ren).
She is not Brittany Spears, a celebrity mom that has to just “get over it”… she is a mother.

*****************************************************
Please tell me how I was negative? I could have really went in like I normally do but I didn’t. All I did was post the pics to create dialog because I had never seen boys and girls bathing together since my brothers and I never did. But my nephew and my brother showered together all the time. I left the post open for you guys to describe your response to the pictures. I learned that brothers and sisters bathe together so this was a learning experience for me. I never said those kids were being abused or that the pics were pornographic. That was your opinion based on your attitudes about nudity and past experiences. You’re using me as your outlet to transfer your negative feelings onto and that’s not right.
I know I haven’t been on here lately and I have my reasons,
Recently with the issue of Sandra posting that story about the family it made me feel disgusted. This is the reason why this country is sick the way it is. Since when was it bad for a mother to show off her children to other families and mothers and it gets turned into child pornography WHEN there is nothing pornographic about those children images. This is a mother who loves the children that she adopted and called them her own and felt obliged to share her love of her children with others who have the same liked mine she does. Sandra has turned that womans blog into some sick and sadistic interest for pedophiles and for some of US to sit and criticize this woman for being a MOM. I really hope that Sandra feels ashamed of herself, because this woman will not only be able to not share her love of having a family with others, not she is labeled as a pedophile.
This country has become so sexuality lit that you cant even see a naked child as a beautiful NEW being without someone saying something disgusting or thinking thoughts about a nude child that arent pure. Has it really come to this? Some of you are acting as if this woman *god forgive me* had these kids spread eagle on the bed??? She took INNOCENT pictures of her childre. An although these images are unsafe in the WWW, due to fact that some people are not innocent minded, these images are still harmless.
So I say with an opinionated mouth, Shame on Sandra for never rightfully delivering both sides of the story, shame on some of you for claiming that this woman is harming her children and or making it seem like she is ditributing child pornography. And shame on all of us for taking this woman’s blog and trashing it without knowing who she is about,where she came from, or even looking up and visiting the blog.
no you’re not Ms. Everything. Only the ones who is always speaking Gods words about right/wrong but then go on to judge others. I haven’t seen that from you…yet teeheehee
I don’t mind you believing in your faith but don’t be a hypocrite. That’s the only time I say something about the thumpers
AMEN Shauny!! I said the same thing yesterday about hypocrites! It’s a lot of folks(bible thumpers/judging) folks on here.
Heather’s blog was for her family.
Oh at Cinnamon, I missed your comment but I’m praying for your family and especially those babies. I’m on so much medication that what it sounds like happened to her is a constant fear of mine. I’m so sorry to hear that
@Sandra, I’m not saying that you posted the pictures with the intent to draw negativity and the fact that you simply posted her letter and left the comments off gave me more respect for you. Sometimes things done with even the best of intentions end up going a different way and I’m not you so I can’t say why you did it. I just wish it didn’t happen or that people weren’t so judgemental. Even though the pics posted were the worst of the bunch it was clear from looking at them that the boys were happy and healthy and the family was loving
@Shauny, ok I get what you mean but everybody falls short at some point even about things they previously said they would never do. It doesn’t always make them hypocrites, it just means their human. When it keeps happening over and over with no remorse or acknowledgement then you have a reason to question them but that’s just my opinion
I think it’s best if Sandra left these family blogs alone. Unless they are on CNN/MSNBC because the authorities are already involved with an issue, then she does not need to plaster their lives all over HER blog when they have their own. No matter the intent.
Shauny Says:
Damn when I read that back I sounded INTENSEish… oh well. This has me heatedd!! Messing with that damn lady.

******************************************************
@Sandra, I’m just wondering if you responded to her email? Did you apologize to her? Right or wrong you broke that woman’s heart and broke her spirit. I’m sure you apologized
I guess having an opinion and judging are the same thing now? Who knew!
I’m not a “bible thumper”. Ass in the face is ass in the face. I’d hope someone would pull me aside and give me a strong word or two if I ever put those types pictures up of my baby. Has nothing to do with race or quoting scriptures. Again. The one pic where it was like a naked sandwich outside? weird. The pictures with the painted butts? Weird. They are too old for that. It’s my opinion. Just like everyone else has their opinion. I think we’re all grown/mature enough to respect each others opinions without going off the deep in. If she didn’t want to be criticized, she should have chosen a different (more private) forum to broadcast this to her family/friends. That’s like walking around with pasties on the nipple and a thong at a birthday party then getting mad everybody calling you a stripper.
