A lot of you ask questions regarding Erin Brockovich's kids, and them probably being F'd up.
Yes they are F'd up. My brother went to boarding school with her daughter, and even "dated" her. She was at boarding school for severe drug abuse, as was myh brother.
So yes, she *beep* up her kids.
Really???? Well my cousin's nephew brother's girlfriend's sister grandmother's aunt's son's daughter dated Erin's son. And she said Erin's son and his siblings turned out just fine.
Why would I lie about something like that?
Really. The woman had to work for a living, didn't she? Many, many women work and have to leave their kids with sitters or in daycare. She was doing important work, besides. How do you figure she messed her kids up? I admire what the real Erin did with her life. If Roberts' portrayal of Erin as a mother is accurate, she certainly was affectionate and loving with her kids.
Some people just aren't happy unless they're saying something sh-tty about others. It's ridiculous.

Uh...yeah I guess so. But I am actually not lying. My brother did go to boarding school with her, had sex with her (its true!), and knows what kind of life she lived. She was into heavy drugs, not that she is a bad person at all or anything for that, but Erin's mothering drove her kids to that. So yeah...
shareWhat do you mean? What did she do to her kids that made them drug=addicts? In the movie she seemed like a good mother, even if she did have to work a lot. It's only because she's famous that you'd blame her mother for her drug problems. If they never made a movie about Erin Brockovich, I doubt you'd be blaming the girl's mother.
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
Oh ya, because you are a credible source.
'But I am actually not lying' you say?
Ok! I believe you than!
Erin's mothering drove her kids to that. So yeah...
My brother did go to boarding school with her, had sex with her (its true!)
The only thing I can add here is that, yes, there are a lot of co-ed boarding high schools (I went to one).
That's about the only piece of factual information in this post, though. Well, "check-able" info that is. I doubt the real Erin B. messed up her kids.
<<Aren't most boarding schools either all-female or all-male? I didn't know there were such things as co-ed boarding schools. And, lol, LOTS of teenagers have sex! It doesn't mean they have bad parents, though! >>
Oh, there are plenty of co-ed boarding schools. Just fyi.
Well, if your brother was in the boarding school to have sex with Erin's daughter (don't know what relevence that had, true or not) than are we not to assume with your logic that your parents were crap also?
It would certainly explain alot about your post if you were a drug f'ed loser because of your parents.

Really? Couldn't we also say the kids' lack of fathering drove them to whatever adolescent acting-out they engaged in and all their good qualities came from the love they received from their mother?
No, let's just blame the woman who actually stuck around, worked hard, and raised the kids.

What's funny is that the article blames the girl, just as I thought it would since it couldn't blame the father.
Not that I am taking sides but the media sure likes to does it, even though Erin is no angel-

from the article-
"Thus, whereas the EPA assigns inhaled chromium-6 to Class A, designating it a known human carcinogen, as ingested it's classified as a "D," meaning that there is no evidence of carcinogenicity."
"The plaintiffs complain that their lawyers held onto the money for six months after PG&E cut the check. When Sharp asked Masry to explain the delay, he said, "Why are you being stupid? It was a complicated $333 million settlement. Are you an idiot?" Though some of the plaintiffs were desperately in debt, none of the attorneys, nor Brockovich, would return their calls."
"Hinkley residents have no sympathy for PG&E, of course, Brockovich and Masry having thoroughly terrified them into believing that every ailment they've ever had or will have is from chromium-6 ingestion. But to many, the bad guys are now the Brockovich Bunch. "I feel like I was treated like a country hick," one told Sharp. "We are the ones who made those guys zillionaires."
"Indeed, and Hollywood heroes. "
I am laughing so hard now.
If you really want to get into the whole "nature or nurture" thing, my grandmothers neighbour is the most conservative housewife you have ever met in you entire life. I doubt her kids ever came home to anything less than a spotless house, homemade cakes and dinner in the oven, she never once had a job or left her kids with a nanny. One of her daughters is a heroin addict, the other now steals from her.
How you were brought up generally has *beep* all do to with your life choices.

Wow, a lot of people are mean with moms who live on welfare, and then we get others who are mean to working mothers. In a perfect world, every family would have a father and a mother, one working and one looking after the kids, but this ain't a perfect world, and almost all mothers NEED to work because either one income is not enough, or the father is gone, etc. I know a lot of people who were raised by a stay at home mom, and they did all the drugs in the book, and I know kids raised by stay at home moms who didn't do drugs. I also know kids with working parents who did all the drugs in the book, and I also know kids with working parents who didn't do drugs. If it were as simple as having a fool proof formula like that, the world would not be so troubled.
