Pink Sure Loves Attention

[Chocolate Cake]

Posted a picture of her children running throughout a Holocaust Memorial.

Now she is being "Mom Shamed".

Exactly what she had hoped for, I am sure.

When will the fake "I was shamed" trend be over?

LOL P!nk is a mega-star, she doesn't have to try to get attention. Its automatic.

This isn't the first time she was "mom shamed" and its not fake. There are waaaaayyyy to many high horse riders out there that just loooovvve to judge someone on something all the time. When people learn to stop judging things, the trend will end.

Seems like if you're a parent, you're doing it wrong in someone's eyes, and they'll be happy to tell you.

She said 1) she and her children are Jewish and 2) [paraphrasing] what better way to honor the victims who died than to celebrate life.

Interesting way to look at it.

The disconnect seems to be that traditionally, parents have taught their children to be quiet and respectful at places like memorials and museums - heck, even movie theaters and restaurants.

It'd probably be safe to say that every poster here at one time or another has been annoyed by unruly behavior in such places.

I guess the question is, where do you draw the line?

Is this a generational issue?

So tired of everything getting a "___ shamed" tacked onto the end of things. Pet peeve of mine, language wise.

Otherwise, I really don't care what Pink does or doesn't do (or post) in general. Or any celebrity, really, for that matter.

You should retitle your thread "Fill-in-the-blank Celebrity/Athlete Posts on Social Media and Loves Attention."

Then the real discussion should be, why does anyone give them attention?

Many mega stars try very hard to get attention/stay in the press constantly. Kardashians come to mind.

Seems like the cool thing to be is shamed.

Post a semi nude picture of yourself? How dare someone comment! Body shamed!

Famous people know exactly what they are doing when they post questionable pictures. I am sure Pink had tons of pictures of her children running in a park or playground. But that wouldn't drum up the controversy and attention like a Holocaust Memorial.

Just an observation that pouting about being "shamed" is a business for many of these people.

and yet here I am on this thread! I think there is a time and a place for running around, the Holocaust museum or memorial is not the place.

Mom shamer!

I am going to play devils advocate, although I would personally never let my child run around a Holocaust memorial. Nope. No way, no how.

However, the artist who designed it said he wanted it to be a place to celebrate and it wasn't sacred ground like Auschwitz. He said, “People have been jumping around on those pillars forever. They've been sunbathing, they've been having lunch there and I think that's fine,” he said. "It's like a Catholic church, it's a meeting place, children run around, they sell trinkets. A memorial is an everyday occurrence, it is not sacred ground."

So to that end, if people jump and sunbathe on the pillars, then her kids running isn't horrific. (I find the sunbathing particularly odd.) But yes, she could have very likely put it up for the shame attention. Ugh ... and here we are gobbling it up. Suckers!!

No, it's a context issue. For all we know, Pink's kids were quietly walking then took off.

My youngest was three the first time we took the kids to the Vietnam Memorial. As much as we hoped he'd walk somberly and quietly through the memorial, he hopped here and there, talked about the water next to it, and wasn't really paying attention. While no one there seemed to have a problem, I'm sure any still photo I took of him could have made me look like the worst mother in the world.

While any generational issue might have to do with what is now considered acceptable decorum, many only seem to remember how perfect they were at parenting and have suppressed their parenting "fails". My own mother will see a kid acting up in the store and have a million comments about how she knew better than to let that happen. I'm like "Really? I could think of at least fifteen times my sibs and I weren't perfect in public.

Most interesting line about a memorial not being sacred ground. I like it. When we were in DC it was extremely hot and some kids were soaking their feet in the pool of the World War 2 Memorial. Although we didn't let our kids do that, I tried really hard to not judge. Plus, if it's so bad - where was the sign or the park service rangers telling them not to do that. Some were in business suits eating their lunch there too while a small group of WW2 vets were having pictures taken in front of their states. What was so great was that after the vets were done taking pictures, those people eating lunch went over and shook their hands.

There IS as sign telling them not to do it!

Yes, TMZ has covered the MANY times she's been cyber shamed for being a mom and not getting things "right" according to others. And she's fought back every time letting people know she's going to raise her kids to be "normal" kids. And also that she doesn't get things right - especially according to social media. As I recall, one time she let her then, very little toddler run around in a diaper without pants over it. The cyber shamers were acting like they wanted to call CPS on her.

She has said more than once that she's not going to let the cyber shamers censor her or her posting how much she loves her kids. She is Pink, after all.

However, the artist who designed it said he wanted it to be a place to celebrate and it wasn't sacred ground like Auschwitz. He said, “People have been jumping around on those pillars forever. They've been sunbathing, they've been having lunch there and I think that's fine,” he said. "It's like a Catholic church, it's a meeting place, children run around, they sell trinkets. A memorial is an everyday occurrence, it is not sacred ground."

Then those cyber shamers should get their facts right first.

She needs to simply join the DIS........we'll definitely keep her straight on the perfect way to raise kids.

They don't say they are being body shamed because someone just comments. Its when someone comments something rude about their body.

Not sure what you mean by that. The DIS has P.E.R.F.E.C.T. parents. They all tell us this themselves, all the time. Even the ones being bashed.

 

[Hikergirl]

I think in cases where you think what you did was right then there is no need to respond to the shamers.
Doing so is what gets you the attention, nobody would have heard about this if she didn't respond.
But she's Pink and I don't think she's known for not speaking her mind.

Actually, the toddler had no diaper on at all. You could see his ***** so closely that people were commenting on circumcision.

With all the sick people in this world (including the people commenting on circumcision), why on earth would you post a picture of a child's private parts? I imagine that went into some gross child pornographer's permanent file. You just don't post a picture of your child's *****.

She did erase it, of course with a big, tough F Bomb tirade. How very Pink of her

I'm P!nk's "friend" on Facebook and for years she's been posting photos that she knows will get a negative reaction.

I'm convinced she and others (Chrissy Tiegan is the worst) intentionally have their PR people post such stuff because they get their rocks, oops, their thrills by "clapping back."
