Demi Moore has gone on the defensive about her parenting decisions and her daughters. Moore is currently promoting her film “Flawless,” and said she gets upset when people make fun of her children’s appearance. Which makes sense – no mom wants to see their kid getting teased. She does, however, get upset about treatment of her daughters - Rumer, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallulah, 14 - in certain areas of the tabloid press. She added: “It’s straight out cruelty. Things that are just mean and cruel, like saying that they’re ‘fugly.’ I’m talking about my 14-year-old, my 17-year-old, who aren’t choosing to be in the public eye. It’s very painful, as it would be for any parent to have anybody say unkind or hurtful things about your children.” [From Exposay] Rumer obviously does choose to live her life in the public eye because she’s an actress, so that’s a little different. Her looks have been mocked a lot, but I haven’t really heard anyone say anything negative about Scout or Tallulah, who are more private. There is certainly a twisted unfairness that children – any children not just the ones with famous parents – are expected to be at least as attractive as their mom and dad, if not even better looking. Anytime I meet someone’s parents and it turns out they’re much prettier/more handsome than their child, I definitely notice. When the opposite happens it doesn’t even register with me. Certainly having two extremely famous parents like Demi Moore and Bruce Willis has got to magnify that. Demi says that she doesn’t regret the time she took off from work to raise her daughters after she and Bruce divorced. In fact she says she didn’t even process it in terms of her career – she just knew that’s what she needed to do at the time. Demi Moore says she’d never have traded her career off against her daughters. The “Flawless” actress devoted herself to raising her three children after her marriage to Bruce Willis fell apart in the mid 90s, but says she has no regrets about her decision to retire from the spotlight of Hollywood. Demi, 46, said: “I don’t feel bitter or angry. At the time I wasn’t thinking of whether it was bad for my career. It just didn’t matter. I just knew that my children needed to be grounded… I wouldn’t trade what I have with my children, who they are today, for a bigger pay check or bigger career. I did take a long period off at what would have been my prime time for leading lady roles.” [From Exposay] She also says that as a child of divorce, it was really important to her to make sure she and Bruce still got along and they were all still a family. And to their credit both of them have done a really amazing job at that. I can’t think of any parents I know that have been able to do that for their children. Obviously taking time off was the right thing for Demi to do, because her family strikes me as very intact despite the divorce. http://www.celebitchy.com/23806/demi_moore_calls_it_cruel_when_people_make_fun_of_her_daughters/
