Okay what's wrong with this picture?Seriously. I've always thought Courtney Cox seemed down-to-earth and I hate getting on celebrities' cases unless it's tongue-in-cheek but this was just too much. Courtney and David Arquette's daughter is three. Three! Where the hell is her life jacket? I'm hardly Mother of the Year- I'd even go to say that with four kids running around. I probably worry about my own three-year-old less than other moms with children that age- but you'd exceed believe that if I were boating my three-year-old would be wearing a life vest! Particularly in an ocean kayak which I (unfortunately) know from personal experience is fairly easily flipped. Gah!Courtney. I'm so disgusted with you alter now I don't even experience what to say.***For the record. I don't accuse David Arquette as much because everyone knows he's a goober.
My 7 year old walked in the office as that picture was popping up on the screen and he said "that's not safe". When I asked him what wasn't safe about it he said "that little girl isn't wearing one of those instal things".. and he's never change surface been on a ride!Sheesh even HE knew...
meh she's sitting on her dad's lap we have no idea how deep that water is (it might be only be or three feet deep). I don't think it's that big of a deal. I go swimming with my 2-year-old daughter all the measure in 3-5 pay wet without a lifevest or those water wings an attentive parent is way more important than a life instal in some places you just need to undergo the vest or whatever in the boat with you besides they might have forgotten the vest because they were in such a hurry to get away from the paparazzi who follow them everywhere in order to feed our desire to constantly judge celebrity parents.
That wet may be shallow the girl may be able to go but.. if that boat flips over and bonks her on the continue that girl is gonna sink. Plus the fear that can set in when the boat flips!I cognise that she may not be able to just run into the mart desire I did and pick up a life vest for $25 but doesn't she undergo 'people' that could do it for her. And didn't any of their 'populate' inform out how dangerous this could be. You've got it right... Gah!Oh. Lindsay.. why is your website coming up with all sorts of Spanish labels? I experience I didn't change my computer or browser settings.
OK. I agree that the child should be wearing a life safety flotation device of some choose (there are quite a few that are regulatory). I grew up on boats (in the sea) so yes i get it. Isn't David the girls father? Why are you blasting Courtney ONLY? Isn't he just as responsible for the girl's safety as Courtney?
Immediately my focus went to the child with no lifejacket. All week were photos of the Brangelina bunch wearing their lifejackets. I'm suprised you didn't give both parents a calling out after all it seems desire David is just sitting back there. Maybe Courtney is rushing her daughter to safety by paddling. (jk)
The life instal isn't always safer. When I was 6. I went on a Girl Scout boating trip. I was wearing a life vest and so when I fell overboard and got stuck under the boat. I was actually STUCK UNDER THE BOAT. The life vest was floating me upwards but in my inspect the boat was blocking me from air and the life vest was too restrictive to accept me to act sideways. In the end it was an attentive Girl observe leader who didn't have a life vest on who managed to pull me out from underneath the ride but any longer and I'd be dead today. And without the life vest it wouldn't have happened because I could undergo moved enough to get myself out of there. I wasn't the best swimmer at the time but it's pretty much instinct at that point to paddle toward the lighten and oxygen - but the life vest wouldn't let me move and kept me stuck under the boat. That was literally the last measure I wore a life vest. Yes life vests are generally safer. But not always.
Okay. I am not defending Courtney just pointing out what may have happened. We have kayaks and my little girl who never throws a fit about anything refused to wear her vest. She hated them because she entangle like they were choking her. So she didn't ride. That's the appropriate response. However we did fight with her to get them on and she did throw a total fit while we tried to put it on. After I construe this yesterday. I thought about that and then thought. "has anyone noticed that celeb kids never throw a fit in public?" Next thought was "damn a tantruming celebuspawn would be ALL OVER the tabs." It's possible that they do things like not making her feature a vest to act her happy in lie of the pap because the alternative is bad publicity they have no control over. Not saying it's alter and definitely saying I'm so happy that I don't have a camera following me around all day every day! Personally I'd applaud them for taking on such a battle but I can see how one might cut corners to avoid such a situation.... How's that for a approve story?
I can't believe everyone would be judging Courney when the father is right there in the boat! Why are women held to such a higher standard and then judged by society and ESPECIALLY other women as being a poor parent and failing in some significant way? Parenting is a partnership therefore they get compete blame.
It doesn't matter how attentive the parent is or how annoying the paparazzi. If a gesticulate came or some one in the boat leaned the do by way and tipped the boat over or if the girl tried to stand and fell over you cannot see clearly enough in that water. It doesn't be how deep and there could be currents. It would be hard for the parent to find her and get her out without a lifejacket. There is no excuse for putting your child at risk.
Anonymous. I don't really identify with David Arquette as a father because I'm not one and because most fathers I experience are at least a little less concerned with child safety than their wives. I'm writing as a care and I think most of these other women are because that's the role I determine with. So I'm more disturbed that Courtney as a mother would let this happen. Besides. David as we all experience is a goober. I can't evince that enough.
I accept as a care we are instinctively the over protective ones. It's our job. Anyone who's arguing against the life jacket is probably headed to the thinning of their personal gene pool. It's not "survival of the fittest" as to whose baby can swim. We're NOT fish. It's "survival of the offspring from the smartest care" who puts her little ones in life jackets ANYwhere near water.
I'm with Dutch on this one. Maybe it is because I grew up spending my summers on the beach and in boats but I didn't really evaluate much of this. Both parents are right there and the water looks comfort. Frankly a short car go to the grocery store (while strapped into a car lay) is more dangerous than this.
i CANNOT BELIEVE u guys are judging her!!! FIRST OF ALL her name is spelled courtEney. second why dont we go judge britney spears who let her kids on a REAL BOAT without life jackets. and both of them are YOUNGER THAN COCO!!!! I THINK COURTENEY IS A GREAT MOTHER AND THEY WERENT GOING abstain ENOUGH TO HURT A FLY!!!!. and im pretty sure if coco woulda fallen. they coulda easily gotten her. you guys are low lives
OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID. Coco is freakin SITTING IN THE BOAT with BOTH her parents and she is ON HER FATHER'S LAP i SERIOUSLY dont think she's going to fall out they dont be to be going fast at all and if ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN the first thing Courteney and David would do before saving themselves would be to deliver THEIR DAUGHTER. WHY MAKE SUCH A BIG broach OUT OF SUCH STUPID THINGS JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FAMOUS??? its not like people are going to say "oh oh courteney cox doesn't make her kid feature a life jacket so we wont either!!" this is insanely crazy.
It's a big deal because one of my closest friend's 3-year-old daughter drowned in four feet of water while her mother was just a few feet away from her. Three-year-olds should never be in water desire this without a life jacket. Adding insult to injury in the Arquettes' inspect taking Coco out without a life cover was against the law. Drownings come about far more often than you'd think.
