I’ve never felt that a toddler was over-exposed before but I’m kinda starting to feel that way about Suri. Still, I look at those shots as much as the next celeb-obsessed-freak. I am horrified by the way some trash mags are starting to pit celebrity toddlers against each other on lists of ‘best dressed’ so there’s that.
But then I found myself having a conversation with a girlfriend where we were both expressing our concern for Suri because she never appeared to be wearing any kind of warm clothing in close to freezing temperatures in New York, depsite her parents being rugged up. That’s three minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Perhaps it’s just yet another way we explore issues about ourselves – through watching how celebrities appear to parent their kids….although what we see is such a thin slice of the whole picture, it’s nuts to evaluate them or judge ourselves based on a papparazzi picture.
After the jump, the momversation women discussing it….
Suri Cruise. Why do we care?

I want to know if this kid can walk? I always see her getting carried with that horrid blanket.
My daughter was always very headstrong about what she wanted to wear and would refuse to wear anything that she found to be restrictive ... ie warm clothes!
It's completely nuts to evaluate celebs or judge ourselves against a celeb pic - but we do it all the time!
That pic is less than a second out of their day & their reality is so far removed from ours that we can't possibly begin to understand what it's like to live in their world - let alone pass judgement - but we do it all the time!
One of my best girlfriends had her fourth baby about 8 months ago ... she was balancing him on her hip recently and tending to one of her other young children at the same time, the baby jerked backwards and she nearly lost her grip on him ... she turned to me and said "lucky the paparazzi aren't around or I would be labelled a bad mother" - truer words never spoken.
