You guys, prepare to die of cute. Prepare for your inevitable demise at the hands of an adorable little girl and her pink toy guitar-playing dad as they sing "Tonight You Belong to Me." Dad Benjamin Ames wanted to distract his daughter, who couldn't fall asleep because she thought she was hearing fireworks. Was she? Well ... I don't hear any. But she interrupts the song several times to tell her dad exactly how they should pause whenever they hear fireworks.

If you've ever tried to do something with a little interrupter, you'll relate. It's exasperating! But Ames shows a lot of patience with his daughter. Just so you know, they do finally get through the whole song. If daddy-daughter harmonies make you melt, you'll want to hang in there past the one-minute mark. I think it's worth it. But of course, the interruptions are funny, too.

I love how she knows all the words! I feel like every child needs at least one classic they can sing all the way through (or almost) with their parents. Every kid needs a song that comforts them at night when there are so many strange sounds.

It's kind of a long video (sad that 3:12 minutes is considered long ...), but if you have the time, they get to the horn section around the two-minute mark. It just ratchets up the charming hilarity even more. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to watch this video yet again and dissolve into a puddle of estrogen and sentimentality under my desk here.

Do your kids have favorite songs they like to sing with you?

Little Boy Stays Up All Night Singing Because He's 'Not Sleepy, Not Sleepy, Not Sleepy' (VIDEO)

by Jacqueline Burt 22 hours ago

Don't it always seem to go ... you don't know what you got 'til it's gone? That's definitely the case when it comes to little kids and sleep. They get to nod off pretty much whenever they want to ... but they never want to!! Youth is so, so wasted on the young! There's nothing more frustrating for us moms than trying to convince a child to go to bed when sweet lord above, the only thing you want in life is to be able to go to bed!!!

Anyway. Point is, kids hate going to bed. Much like the little boy in this video. Of course, John Thomas has good reason for not wanting to call it a night, and do you know what that is? He is not sleepy. NOT SLEEPY AT ALL. You got that? Not. Sleepy. At. ALL!

Which is exactly what his parents found out when they did a little late-night video investigation, as you'll see here:

Whoa! Looks like John wasn't figuring on an audience. (But what does he expect, belting out a catchy tune like that?) Still, he bounced back from the initial surprise pretty quickly. Probably because, you know, HE'S NOT SLEEPY.

John Thomas is now 17, but he has a big sister, Lauren, who still gets a kick out of that video. So she posted it on Reddit and BOOM! Thing took off like a shot! Which comes as no surprise -- after all, there are precious few folks out there who can't relate to bedtime battles. Plus, this one is epically cute.

Have you ever found your kid staying up late when you thought he was asleep?

'RHOM' Joanna Krupa Leaves Little to the Imagination in Cleavage-Baring Mini-Dress (PHOTO)

maandag 9 september 2013

by Maressa Brown 2 hours ago

Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa has no problem showing off her bangin' body while out on the town. Yay for healthy self-esteem! But boo for feeling the need to rock out with her breasts out. Yuuuup, Joanna all but went topless while attending a Passion Nightclub Friday night bash at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Joanna flaunted her figure in a royal blue mini-shift, which, like her partner in partying crime, RHOM co-star Lisa Hochstein's bandage dress, left little to the imagination in the cleavage department. Is it just me or is this look bordering on totally overplayed by now?

After being slapped on the wrist and warned not to flash too much butt, cleavage, side-boob, etc., almost every starlet and pop star in Hollywood has worn a dress like this that basically bares as much of the breast as they can get away with. It was hot the first few times, but now it's getting OLD and tired and, well, expected. Like the go-to way to show off your breasts -- or, in Lisa's case, boob job. And it's running the risk of looking so stale.

More from The Stir: 'RHOM' Joanna Krupa's Confession About Her Sex Life Is Painfully Honest

I'd even be a bigger fan of the "boob window" look -- you know, same thing but with a sheer material over the cleavage -- at this point, which is still bordering on overkill, but hasn't jumped the shark quite yet.

Ultimately, I subscribe to the belief that if you're going short and showing leg, you can't flash too much bust, too. Pick one or the other. Otherwise, you run the risk of looking like a tramptastic trainwreck.

Not saying that's what Joanna looked like at all. She can clearly push the limits of showing a ridiculous amount of skin. However, paired with the photographic proof of the 34-year-old newlywed acting like a spring break co-ed in Girls Gone Wild? That's another story ...

Are you a fan of this major cleavage-baring style or do you wish it would go away already?

Little Girl Gets 30,000 People to Help Find Her Lost Stuffed Animal

woensdag 4 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 8 hours ago

If you've ever lost your child's favorite stuffed animal you probably know that feeling of frustration and panic. Dear God, no! Your child has lost their most beloved friend and they're completely inconsolable without it. If only you could get the whole world to help you look for it. Well, that kind of happened. When a woman found a stuffed bunny left behind on a beach she posted a photo of Pink Bunny on Facebook -- and it was shared by over 30,000 people. I don't think I even need to say this, but yes, dear readers. Facebook helped 18-month-old Maddie Cross reunite with Pink Bunny

Now... why can't we all do this every time our kids lose a toy?

Maddie left Pink Bunny on the beach one day. (Don't even get me started on the insanity of bringing a fiber-based toy to a vast field of sand -- but that's one of those crazy things you find yourself doing as a parent.) Her parents searched and searched, but at last they had to leave it behind because night was falling and life goes on.

But someone was looking out for Pink Bunny that day. Mom of six Deborah Hitchins found that toy and posted a photo of it on Facebook: "Please share this photo and help him get back to the little person who loves and cuddles him and no doubt misses him." (So just to clarify, the photo was posted by the finder, not by Maddie Cross' parents.) People, it took less than 24 hours for that bunny to find its little person. Is the Internet magic? No, but a small act of kindness sometimes can be.

But you know that as this happy story is spreading one big idea is forming in millions of parents' minds: Hey, I should try that! I'm friends with a lot of parents, and I've never seen any of them post a lost toy. But now that this has happened, maybe it's the next big thing. Maybe we're about to get hit by a tsunami of lost toy posts. It's just waiting for us. Can't you feel it? Oh God, I'm afraid.

Would it ever occur to you to post a lost toy on Facebook?

Touching Reunion Between Military Dad and Little Girl Is the Stuff Hugs Were Made For (VIDEO)

dinsdag 3 september 2013

AppId is over the quota

by Emily Abbate 3 hours ago

One of the hardest things about military deployments for a soldier is missing out on life's events back at home, big and small. When a military dad is away, he can't just put his oldest daughter's first day of school on hold or ask her dance instructor to postpone her big recital. Which is why reuniting with loved ones and catching up on absolutely everything that's happened is one of life's greatest joys for those in our military.

Take John, for instance. This military dad was stationed overseas in Afghanistan since May, and he recently gave his daughter Juliana a major surprise at school showing up after months away. Their reunion is absolutely adorable! Just you wait until you hear the one thing he notices about his daughter when he first looks at her:

A tooth! It's crazy to think that something as teeny as losing a tooth could be such a big deal to both daughter and father, but that's just one example of a life event that happens while dads, brothers, relatives, and friends are away serving our country. It's so heartwarming to see this father back with his daughter. And that hug? Ugh! The best.

I hope that now this duo's back together, they take this much-needed time to catch up on all the other important stuff (big and small). Welcome home!

How cute is this?

Robert Pattinson hace confesión escandalosamente obsceno de filmación de 'Little Ashes' Sex Scene (VIDEO)

vrijdag 30 augustus 2013

To is invalid
Parameter name: to

A veces, no hay tal cosa como demasiada información y la película magia deberían quedarte magia de película. Pero al parecer Robert Pattinson no piensa así porque él recientemente revelados algunos detalles bastante subidos de tono sobre las escenas de sexo en Little Ashes en la Alemania entrevista revista septiembre de 2013.

Durante el rodaje de escenas de sexo, puede ser fácil imaginar lo incómodo que debe ser para las estrellas, así como la tripulación, viéndolos grito de falsos gemidos y gruñidos mientras retuerce alrededor juntos casi desnuda en éxtasis artificial. Como el director está observando y decirles qué hacer, por supuesto.

Pero al parecer éxtasis de RPattz en Little Ashes, bueno... no era tan falso. Aunque reconociendo que, cuando buscas en google lo, todo lo que hay que saber sobre él aparece--"qué comer, qué mi caca parece, con quien me acuesto, incluso como me veo cuando me masturbo..."--entonces reveló algo que en realidad no sabíamos antes.

Así, ejem,..., parece que en Little Ashes, nuestro amado Robert admitió que en realidad se masturbaba mientras filmaba las escenas de sexo. Al parecer fingiendo "simplemente no funciona... así que yo mismo placer frente a la cámara. Mi cara de orgasmo se registra por la eternidad."

WOW.

¿Espera, es esta película de Netflix?

De todos modos, también abrió sobre su experiencia con la fabricación de la película y cómo casi se le deja de actuar. Pero entonces apareció otra franquicia pequeño llamado Crepúsculo, y pronto, RPattz se convirtió en un nombre familiar como Edward Cullen. Por suerte que no decidió dejar para siempre!

"Una vez decidió dejar de actuar; "fue cuando hice Little Ashes, explicó. "Jugó a Salvador Dali y tuve que hacer un montón de escenas donde estaba desnudo, y también tenía que masturbarse. En serio. Un par de días más tarde, recibí el ofrecimiento de hacer Crepúsculo".

Ha llegado a confesar: "la producción de Dalí fue la peor, fue humillante... Todos estábamos en la piscina, tratando de aflojar. Yo estaba aferrada nerviosamente al borde- y antes de que pudiera me doy la vuelta, el español estaba ya desnudo. "

"Felizmente nadó hacia mí", continuó Rob. "Y no tenía ni idea cómo reaccionar. Me sentía como Mr. Bean".

Todos estos comentarios que ha hecho son... muy raro. Esta película fue hecha hace más de cinco años, así que supongo que pude ver cómo un 21 o 22-años RPattz sería muy incómodo con estas escenas y estar rodeado de hombres desnudos. Pero ¿por qué ahora de todos modos? Estamos tan acostumbrados a Rob siendo intensamente privado y reservado; Ahora parece que todo vale. ¿Discutiendo masturbándose en conjunto? Claro, por qué no!

Por supuesto, siendo el psicópata completa que soy, me fui a través de YouTube tratando de cazar a esta escena de sexo icónico (lo siento, que no he visto la película). Lo que vi no era... bueno, si fuera realmente cierto Rob "cara de orgasmo", sólo podías verlo durante un par de segundos, y apenas se puede ver su expresión. Womp.

Compruébalo. Perdón por la música, esta fue la mejor que pude encontrar:

Así que, ¿esto es "Cara de orgasmo" de Rob?

¿Me pregunto qué Kristen Stewart piensa en todo esto?

Bueno, tendremos que tomar a Rob para lo que dice la verdad. Es bueno saber que la "cara de orgasmo" se conservarán para siempre en la película. Creo. Y si éstos eran en realidad algún comentario irónico nos lleva por un viaje, bueno, primera ronda va a RPattz. No conseguimos suficiente de lo que dice este tipo!

¿Crees que Robert Pattinson iba en serio cuando hacía estos comentarios? ¿Que opinas sobre lo que dijo?

Little Girl's Adorable Reaction to Skyping With Dad Is Priceless (VIDEO)

dinsdag 27 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Julie Ryan Evans 1 hour ago

There's cute, and then there's holy freaking adorable. This video of a toddler Skyping with her dad falls into the latter category. Her name is Yerin Park, and if Skype hasn't already contacted her to be their poster child, then they should.

She starts out with a telephone, trying to talk to her dad. She's not impressed at all, and gets bored with the whole thing after a few seconds. Then her mother puts her in front of a big screen TV with her dad on Skype, and her reaction is priceless. She giggles, squees, and runs back and forth with delight. 

The video was posted last year, but has just started to go viral. Watch and you'll see why people can't get enough of this little girl.

Even though her words are in Korean and I'm not sure exactly what she's saying, her joy is universally understandable. She sees her dad's face there and is simply overjoyed. It has to be all sorts of crazy for a toddler to see Elmo or her favorite cartoon character on the screen one moment and her dad talking to her from it the next. 

Though we grow immune to its novelty the longer it's around, it really is amazing how technology can help families keep in touch. From parents who travel to grandparents who live in other states, there are some incredible tools that can connect us. We may not get quite as excited about them as this girl, but it would be fun if we did.

Do you love this video? Do your kids use Skype or other technology with your children to keep in touch with relatives when they're away?

Miley Cyrus Looks Like a Little Girl in Crazy Ripped Shorts and Pigtails (PHOTO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Nicole Fabian-Weber 4 hours ago

Miley Cyrus is one of the few people in the world who's been blessed with a body type that looks good in basically everything. Soooo, why is she wearing this? The "We Can't Stop" singer stepped out in a pair of shorts so tiny the Hubble Telescope might not be to spot them; a tank top that had the words "Ain't Nothing But a G Thang" printed in calligraphy on the front; and a hairstyle that one typically doesn't see on anyone over the age of 2. What up, Miley?

I get that Miley is young; "going through puberty at 20 years old"; and experimenting right now, but she wears the same types of things over and over and over again. Always something super tight, always something super short. The girl has a fantastic body and she ought to show it off, but ... maybe once in a while, try something new? She should experiment within her experimental phase! It would be so nice to see Miley in a loose maxi dress. Or just, I dunno, a t-shirt and jeans. That would actually be more shocking than what she's wearing here.

As for her hair, I actually find it weirdly cute. Maybe because it reminds me of my toddler. I don't think I'd advise Miley to wear it like this every day. But for once in a while, what the hey, right?

Thoughts on Miley Cyrus' outfit and 'do?

Kate Middleton’s Royal Portrait Dress Sells Out Fast but There’s Just One Little Problem

donderdag 22 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Nicole Fabian-Weber 3 hours ago

Shortly after the official photo of Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince George was released, the world's least surprising thing happened: The dress the Duchess of Cambridge was wearing in the pic sold out. Because in order to become a princess, you need to dress like one.

Kate wore a dress by the British fashion label Séraphine, and if you're as big a Kate fan as you claim to be, you know that this is now the third time Kate has worn a Seraphine dress in the last few months. The style of the dress -- loose-fitting with a knot at the chest -- would look good on anyone. But the bright fuchsia color? Incorrect.

Kate Middleton has fantastic style, and I admit, I've definitely thought about buying a navy blue wrap dress after the royal engagement photo came out. But ... Kate Middleton would look good wrapped in tin foil. And tin foil would definitely sell out immediately if that's what she was wearing in the pic with Baby Cambridge. Just because Kate's wearing it doesn't mean it will look good on you! Sorry, not trying to be a meanie here (you're gorgeous!), but it's true!

This style dress would flatter pretty much anyone. But the color is too bright for a lot of complexions. So maybe consider picking up the dress, but just in a different color. Oh, wait. You can't. Because it's sold out. 

Middleton, you and your sense of style have struck again!

Would you wear Kate's fuchsia dress?

'Bachelor' Juan Pablo Galavis's Love for His Little Girl Helped Him Steal the Show

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 2 hours ago

Bachelor Nation cannot wait for January, because as we well know, that's when we'll finally get to see Juan Pablo (aka "JuanPabs") Galavis return to our small screens as the next Bachelor! You're fanning yourself at the thought, I know. At this point, it really does seem like there never could have been a question in producers' minds that JuanPabs would be the go-to man for the gig. Of all of Desiree Hartsock's men on The Bachelorette, he was by FAR the most unconditionally beloved. That's exactly why Juan Pablo didn't have much competition for the job. "He was the obvious pick," an insider tells Wetpaint.

But something else definitely helped him seal the deal: The fact that he's a single dad -- and not just any one at that!

He's a single dad who is genuinely interested and actively involved in being a parent to his 4-year-old daughter Camila. His devotion to her is obvious and was as much even in the short time he commanded the spotlight on Des's season. By comparison, you could tell fellow single dad Ben Scott was a phony ... and in the history of the show, there have definitely been other guys who've sold out their kid to stand out on the show, which is beyond disgraceful and just plain sad. Still, the insider explained:

The show has had great luck with single dads. Whether it’s been in the Bachelor role like Jason Mesnick or as contestants like Tony Pieper or Ben Scott -- they’ve made real impressions on the viewers.

Impressions can be both heinous and impressive, though, and JuanPabs definitely falls into the latter category! The man has already said -- and showed us -- time and time again that he is truly interested in finding love with a woman who could make a wonderful stepmom for Camila. No wonder he was always head and shoulders above the rest. As far as attractive, authentic single fathers in the history of The Bachelor go, JuanPabs takes the cake!

Do you think Juan Pablo is the most genuine single dad in Bachelor history? How do you feel about the fact that it helped him score the gig?

Little Boy Gets Trapped in Toy Grabber Machine and Mom Freaks Out (VIDEO)

woensdag 21 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Jacqueline Burt 15 hours ago

What would you do if your little boy (somehow, inexplicably) got trapped in one of those claw machines with the toy prizes nobody ever wins cause those claw machines are rigged?? Would you: a) Freak out in terror and scream for help, b) beam with pride at your child's clever tactics, OR c) get super mad and yell at your kid in front of all the concerned strangers. 

If you were the mom in this video, your choice would be c) get super mad and yell at your kid in front of all the concerned strangers. Because ... well, I'm not sure why, exactly. Even though I've probably had similar reactions in similar situations ...

Seriously, ever wonder why it is that some of us -- parents, that is -- get really mad at our kids when they put themselves in harm's way? Now, bear in mind, I'm not talking about big kids doing big dumb things, like a 16-year-old drinking and driving or something seriously worthy of parental ire. I'm talking about little kids who fall off tall objects they weren't supposed to be climbing in the first place or touch hot stoves they were supposed to be keeping away from or eat colorful soaps they were warned against putting in their mouths because, contrary to appearances, soap is not candy!! I mean, we're not really mad at our kids in those moments, are we?? We're more scared than anything else. But somehow, that fear and worry and, underneath it all, love manifest as one big I Told You So. 

And the sad thing is, that's all our kids really take from those moments of panic-induced parental pissed off-ness: Mom is mad at me. Mom is mad at me because I hurt myself ... ?!

Maybe someday this little boy, like so many little boys, will look back and realize his mom got angry because she was scared, but for now, who knows what he thinks? At least he'll never climb into one of those machines again, that much is for sure. I think. Check it out:

Anonymous Bully Threatens Little Girl's Life With Mangled Doll and Menacing Note (PHOTO)

dinsdag 20 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Nicole Fabian-Weber 1 hour ago

An 11-year-old girl came home to find the throat of her Raggedy Ann doll slit, along with a note that read the following stuffed inside:

"Dear Bella
This is a warning that you should kill yourself before I do
p.s. my last name starts with a H.
Kill yourself!"

After making the disturbing discovery on her porch, Bella Mastracci immediately ran to her mother, Cami Amato, who, naturally, called the police. Since there are no fingerprints on the doll, no one has been named as a suspect just yet. But Amato believes that the harasser may be a boy her daughter had problems with in the past. "We followed up on the possible suspect that the mother believed [did it], and we didn't find any reason to believe that he was involved in the case, but we are still looking into everything," Powell Police Department spokesperson Megan Canavan said.

Bella, who only has a few more weeks until she has to go back to school, said that she's not going to let this god-awful note get her down. But she did have a message for whoever did it: "Stop bullying. Don't be mean. Don't bully anybody else, because it's hurting them."

Although Bella is looking on the bright side of things, I can't imagine her mother is. Although I by no means consider myself a "helicopter parent", I would be hovering over my child non-stop after something like this, until the person was found. There are way too many crazy people out there, and if, god forbid, anything ever happened, and I knew I could have prevented it, I would never be able to live with myself. This isn't something that ought to be taken lightly. Not in today's sick world. The note looks like it was written by a kid, but ... what if it wasn't?

Hopefully, the person who wrote this harassing note is found soon, and Bella and her family can go back to living in peace. And hopefully the person will heed Bella's message. Stop being mean. Stop being a bully.

What would you do if your child received a note like this?

Kim Kardashian Gets Lame Apology for Katie Couric’s Nasty Little Insult

maandag 19 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Ericka Sóuter 3 hours ago

Who could blame Kim Kardashian for being peeved at Katie Couric? The newswoman made a nasty comment about the Kardashians to In Touch, then later sent a gift to baby North West as if she and Kim were BFFs. Clearly realizing her faux pas, Katie issued an apology, but if you ask me, it's too little too late.

When asked why she thought the reality TV clan was so famous, she quipped, "I don't understand -- why are they so famous? I think it's mostly teenage girls that are interested." Ouch. She has some nerve.

I’m not saying she’s wrong for her opinion -- many of us marvel at the Kardashian fame and how the hell they attained it by basically doing nothing but shop and bitch about each other. It's actually quite fascinating. But you can’t diss someone PUBLICLY and then pretend to be their buddy. Who does Katie think she is -- A Real Housewife of New Jersey?

In response to the mini scandal, Katie sent a statement to E! News:

I was responding to a reporter's question, and explaining how I'm intrigued by the public's fascination with her family. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. The gift is genuine, and I'm happy for Kim and Kanye.

Oh please! That is not an apology. That's getting caught with egg on your face and trying to weasel your way out of it. If she doesn't like or respect the girl -- that's her right. It's a free country and she's entitled to her opinion. But don't ass kiss the next day. That just makes you look bad, Katie. Really bad. Kim should mail that insincere gift back to sender.

Do you think Katie's apology was sincere?

'Real Housewives of Orange County' temporada 8 reunión parte 1 Resumen: Pretty Little Liars

dinsdag 13 augustus 2013

To is invalid
Parameter name: to
por Julie Ryan Evans hace 6 horas

Bueno, eso fue divertido. Esta noche fue parte de una de la tres partes Real Housewives of Orange County reunión especial, y las damas llevaron a los sofás en su matriz loco de vestidos del desfile-perfecto (en serio, ¿Quién escoge estas cosas?) y pedrería. La tensión comenzó alto y siguió subiendo... como lo hace en todas las reuniones buenas.

La gran lección que aprendimos esta noche... estas señoras son los titulares principales de rencor, y parece que mentir mucho. No una gran revelación para observadores regulares, pero era tan evidente en esta noche, fue una locura.

No importa quién ha disculpado o fingió aceptar una disculpa, estas damas albergan resentimiento profundo-sembrado uno contra el otro para cada pequeño leve que ha ocurrido en los años. Mayoría de las cosas todavía están peleando sobre pasó años y años. En el camino que torcer la verdad tan difícil, no estoy seguro de que ninguno de ellos sabe lo que es más.

En el corazón de los problemas entre Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barneyy Gretchen Rossi (cuyo vestido verde menta era mucho tuve problemas para concentrarse en lo que estaba diciendo) parecen ser Gretchen la supuesta aventura mientras su novio, Jeff, moría en el hospital--hace tres años. Si ella le infiel (y hay algunas bastante fuertes razones para creer que lo hizo) entonces que estaba mal, pero Tamra y Vicki necesitan dejarlo ya. Jeff está muerto y a Gretchen a admitir que ahora no hace nada. Gretchen ha hecho un montón de otras cosas sombrías desde si quieren abalanzarse sobre ella para aquellos que, bien, pero que realmente necesitan para pasar de esto una vez por todas.

Fue bastante gracioso aunque cuando Tamra lanzó Vicki debajo del autobús para el texto envió sobre Gretchen que Vicki dijo que nunca envió. Mentirosos, todos ellos, parece.

Heather Dubrow y Lydia McLaughlin no ir demasiado atrás, pero su reyerta tapada era gracioso. Heather sigue molesto que no consigue la portada de la revista de Lydia y está colgado en algunos comentario poco que Lydia hizo en despedida de Tamra. Heather tiene bastante la mordedura, y mientras visiblemente agitado, Lydia celebra su propio muy bien (ella es un genio, después de todo)--especialmente cuando llama Heather "Princesa".

La explosión más grande de los despreciados pasado es rencor de Lauri Peterson contra Vicki. Regresó al programa útil para derribar a Vicki, y parece ridículo para todas las acusaciones que hizo. Vicki se disculpó por no manejar la letra George es ex-madre-en-ley envió, pero no parece que maliciosamente puso a lastimar Lauri. Lauri, sin embargo, quiere sangre, lo cual es rara si ella es tan feliz como ella dice que es. Vicki no debería haber caído a su nivel de reclamos que Lauri ha estado engañando ... pero lo hizo.

Curiosamente, la única persona que no tomó un giro en el asiento caliente esta noche fue Alexis Bellino en su vestido rojo picante. Mi cómo han cambiado las cosas. Por supuesto, todavía hay dos episodios más, así que todavía puede tener su oportunidad.

Restaurant Banning Little Kids After 7 P.M. Has the Right Idea (VIDEO)by Maressa Brown16 hours ago 10

It's not a mortgage or a car payment, but eating out at a nice restaurant is an investment -- in the food and a relaxing experience, which entails not having to worry about doing the dishes. Or loud, screaming, running kids. Still, it's rare to find a restaurant where you'll be guaranteed to be free of the latter. Unless you're dining at one Houston, Texas restaurant called La Fisheria, which recently announced that patrons must be over 8 years old after 7 p.m. 

After receiving a number of complaints from regular customers, Mexican reality TV star and executive chef Aquiles Chavez said he had to make the "tough" conclusion to enforce the rule. He explains, "We find children that are crying, some kids running under tables, and our customers don’t like [it]. Seven o’clock is not a time for children, especially when we serve drinks and wine."

Tonight is the first night the policy will be enforced, and of course, there's already been backlash against it.

Those who oppose the policy believe families should be allowed to eat together. Womp womp. It's not like the restaurant is discouraging that on the whole. They're just saying that after a certain, appropriate time, younger kids aren't allowed in a fine dining atmosphere that's attempting to cater to an adult crowd. What's the big deal?

Really, I don't see how this is any different than a couple saying "no kids allowed" at their late Saturday night black tie wedding or a bar enforcing an age restriction. Time and place, people. There are many family-friendly or kid-centric spots where parents know they can bring their little ones and enjoy together time. So La Fisheria is just trying to offer the flipside of that -- a place where adults are able to go and have a peaceful, relaxing dinner without having to worry about bored, tired kids throwing a temper tantrum at the booth behind theirs. 

Thankfully, the restaurant is getting a lot of support for the controversial decision, as well. Chavez said that even some people initially opposed to the idea warmed up to it. He told local news station KHOU, "When we explain, they say you’re right, at the end of the day, you’re thinking of us." True! I wish even more restaurants would do the same!

What do you think about this policy?

Exactly. I think the time frame is fair and if you disagree you can always dine  someplace else.

I think it's going to be a nightmare for them to enforce. If a family comes in to eat at 6:30, are they going to box up their food and kick them out? Plus I think it's a stupid rule anyway. Where are these resterants where children are running wild and babies are crying non stop? Because I got out and I've seen a child running around once ever, and rarely hear other people's children.

Its his choice, obviously.  We have a 6-yr-old and are often not done with a restaurant meal by 7:00 - especially in the summer.  He would lose our business for sure.

Honestly, I think anyone who would have such a policy probably doesn't have a very kid-friendly restaurant at any time.  I think if a restaurant in my area had this policy I would steer clear of it entirely.

I wish more places would do this. I once worked at a place that banned all kids under 12 from the patio area. That pissed a bunch of people off, but there were more people who appreciated it than people who hated it. Sorry, not everyone wants to listen to hissy fits and loud kids while sipping a margarita on a hot day.
