Yeah. One of her older children came out with abuse allegations a few years ago because Rosie yelled at her and made her feel bad. She was an entitled jerk and the media should've never ran that story. That's what happens when you give your kids every thing their heart desires and they don't need to accomplish anything for themselves. They wind up with no drive, no desire, and just waiting for an inheritance. Participation trophies for every event and everyone is perfect just the way they are. That's BS.

I’ve always loved Rosie. I used to watch her show all the time. And what she just said in this interview resonated with me so much. My mom died almost 17 years ago, before my son was born 4 years later. And last year I lost my dad to stomach cancer. I’m disabled due to a spinal injury from an accident I had in 2010, a year and a half before I had my son. I’ve always wanted to give him the world. I went to college a little later later than most at age 26 to become an RN. Then I became pregnant, and my back pain worsened. So my injury put all my hopes and dreams on hold. And that hold has lasted 12 years now bc I live with daily chronic pain. I wish I could have been able to do more with my life and provide for my son better and give him a better life while I’m around to do so. Bc I’m almost 41, and my mom died when she was 46. Life hasn’t been so kind to me. And I always hear ppl say it’s never too late. But when you live with daily chronic pain and your life is mostly doctor appointments and spinal procedures and surgeries, it seems way too late. I just wish I was able to provide better for him, as he’s the only child I have! Maybe I’ll get my big break one day, who knows, right? I’m a great writer so I could become the next J.K Rowling. Anything is possible, and if it’s never too late, then I guess I’ll never know what life could have in store for me!

@paulasalinas3 9 ай бұрын

What i understand is Rosie spoiled them. When kids fall, don't pick them up. Show Them how to get up. Children need challenges and failures. As parents we sometimes want to shield them too much. When children are raised too spoiled, they become entitled adults. What i remember of Rosie's past interviews from the 90s is that she loved being a "friend" to her children. I find that approach so delicate bc parents have the role of a leader, a mentor. You set the "example". It doesn't mean you are not loving. You need clear guidelines of authority between parent and child.

@catwhisperer9489 9 ай бұрын

To add to Paula Salinas' great advice, I would say.... Don't tell your children they're special, because then you send them out into the world, and they think everybody should think they're special---"special", is to be EARNED! Nowadays, everybody calls a little boy, ”little man" (making him feel special); that title should be earned!! Often, women will get on a bus, put their child in a seat, and stand, herself---again, making her child feel it's special. I say she should sit-down, and put her child, in her lap. Children get a star on their paper, for putting their name on it---and that's not much of an exaggeration!! Kids graduate from kindergarten, grade school, middle school.... What's the benefit of staying in school, and earning a graduation, from high school? They've already experienced it!! Kids getting participation trophies---they didn't do anything to *earn* it!!! A newscaster calling an 18-year old boy, a man---I ain't never seen an 18-year old man! Why can't they simply say "male"? Now, probably, not one of these things, alone, would produce a spoiled-rotten brat---but, collectively, you're gonna rear an entitled monster!!! All these things, are to make kids feel special!! Again, one has to *earn* "special"---so that they're not sent out into the world, expecting it; even, demanding it!!

@h3artands0uLL 9 ай бұрын

Discipline is important. The problem is that people confuse that with beating and abusing your kids verbally, emotionally, mentally, shaming and embarrassing them, etc). Discipline is follow through on the rules you have set up at home (homework before tv, obey your curfew, etc). You can take away privileges, electronics, ground them, make them do extra chores, etc. You don’t have to beat them. That’s why confuses ppl because the spankings and the belt or wooden spoon “work” so fast for some parents to change the kids behavior but they’re in the long run never effective for a healthy relationship with your child.

@iPhone-eb9cz 9 ай бұрын

@@anndeecosita3586that was her adopted baby Chelsea who was born addicted to and severely damaged by drugs, unfortunately. 😢 Chelsea had major problems all throughout her life. Her time in the womb - being poisoned by drugs - in combination with her genetics has hard wired her to struggle. Unfortunately this does happen sometimes even in spite of the best and most loving care and home. It appears Rosie did the best she could for her and got her all kinds of help and the best professional interventions and treatments over the years. I remember the stories Rosie used to tell about Chelsea injuring herself and compulsively putting her little body in serious danger, taking wild risks, even as a young toddler- and thinking, “oh no, that’s not normal, that is very serious. It sounds like damaged brain circuitry impacting her judgment, discernment, impulse control, & sensory input and processing. It’s very serious unfortunately and she was just a really troubled kid who went on to struggle in many ways including with drugs. All of Rosie’s other kids are happy, healthy, well adjusted people and upstanding citizens with close relationships both with Rosie and with each other. By all accounts, I think it’s wise to put the characterizations made by Chelsea with a grain of salt and unfair to judge Rosie out of context for the one kid whose inborn, baked in troubles she was unable to tame or mend.

Rosie, that was your first movie ... but your first national TV appearance was on the first season of "Star Search" where you made it to the semi-finals (I wanted you to win) ... then you were on the final season of "Gimme A Break!" when Neil/Addy and the boys move to NYC, you were the upstairs neighbor, Maggie O'Brien ... then you were the host of Vh1's "Stand-Up Spotlight" where aspiring comedians would perform ... THEN you were cast in probably the most perfect movie for your personality "A League Of Their Own." But why I also love you is that you happen to have a supporting role in my all-time favorite movie - "Becky" in "Sleepless In Seattle." I am originally from Baltimore was in the US Navy at the Naval Submarine Base located in Silverdale, Washington (across the Puget Sound from Seattle) when it was being filmed in Seattle, went and watched how some of the scenes were filmed and listened to the Petty Officer 3rd Class interview Nora Ephron and when the movie came out, the bench that Meg Ryan's "Annie" goes and sits down on in the Fells Point area, my mother would go to the exact bench, sit down and because I lived in Seattle after my discharge from the Navy on September 15th, 1993, and think of me and wonder if I was doing the same thing there. When we compared notes before she passed away exactly 2 weeks before my 40th birthday, it was scary the number of times we did it without telling the other! Oh, yeah, I was properly diagnosed with autism in late 2019 (at the age of 48!!!)

I'm a Special Ed. teacher and have taught many students over the last almost 20 years with autism. They are similar in some ways, but, like any kids, they are each unique. It's definitely a spectrum. I had one who was mostly nonverbal and pretty low intelligence-wise and another who I had beginning in kindergarten. He was reading and writing that year. We soon realized we (the parapro and I) couldn't spell things around him because he knew what we were saying! And then, everyone else ranged between them, each unique in so many ways. But they've been some of my favorite students over the years.

Hey, Y'all, Ms. Kelly, I'm glad your are holding down the fort for Hollywood writers and actors and actresses. Now the car dealers. May all the people working as writers, actors, actresses. Light people, make up people, fashion people, creative artists of all kinds. I pray you all get the best pay raises, benefits for a lifetime. Corporation must take better care of its people. All the people. Equal respect of different postions. No one is better than the other. I see Ms. Rosie is aging well. For an Irish woman, hair is lovely black. I love her accent and love her presence. I'm not sure if she is a single parent. As a single parent at 18 and early 20'a a parent to 3 children. We are a special family and have a special dynamic. Not every child takes care of their parent at 10,8, 5. Now they are 34, 32 and 30. My son behavior is out of control and i have done what i can and his biological dad doesn't know what to do. I said, "Just love him." My son can be a prick and verbally abusive, and I am kicking him out today. There is the door. so I say severe brain diseases are horrific compared to many other brain twists. I can say it because I have a Down syndrome and autistic half-brother. We have the same birthday 5 years apart. Autism is connected to transgender peeps especially ftm. Statistics say this. I don't know. Spectrum right just like genders, sexual orientation. I have been both father and mother as a single parent and my younger brother did the discipline moat of the time. I look for action over what people say. I do in action and it is how much your around your child growing up and their fundamental development in an environment. So i get both sides as a two spirit person. Good to see Rosie.

I often hear women say they wanted to give their kids everything they didn't have, and I ask them if their life was really all that bad, and were they really missing, anything.... 9 times outta 10, they drop their eyes, and say "no"! Recently, a woman told me that she regrets that she took that approach.... I said "cuz now they feel entitled, right"---again, she dropped her eyes, and silently nodded. I feel that spoiling one's kids, is, often, more about the parent needing to be liked, seen as a hero, or whatever. It's absolutely a sin, IMO, when their insecurities drive their child rearing. Rosie's right, in that one is doing a dis-service, to their child!!!
