| Feb 4, 2010 by CAROLYN ROBERTSON |
Jessica Alba says that a recent family vacation to Mexico made her realize that her 19-month-old daughter Honor Marie is a baby bully!
During an appearance on The Jay Leno Show this week, Jessica explained that her "amateur" mom move led to a surprising revelation.
We actually went on vacation over Christmas with another friend of ours that has kids, because now that you have kids it's different going on vacation," the Valentine's Day star said. "Single people aren't really trying to wake up early in the morning, and they don't really understand the meltdowns and a poopy diaper grosses them out..... I try to be a very prepared mom and you have to pack 10,000 more bags when you have a kid. I pulled the big amateur move and I didn't bring any toys. And we realized on this trip that my daughter is a bully: She would steal her girlfriend's toys and push her and pull her hair for a stroller or for a baby doll or for a purse."
So could it be that little Honor takes after her famous mom?
"I was feisty, but not at 19 months!" Jessica laughed, but admitted, "My mom said it was going to come back tenfold, and it has."

Looking at Honor's Cheeky face you can imagine it how cute (not for her parents).
SOUNDS LIKE A BRAT TO ME
um, you must not have children. Sounds like a toddler. Get a clue.
No, the actions are that of a brat. If i had acted that way my dad would have beaten that behavior out of me. Brattiness is a lack of discipline on the parents' part.
i'm sorry, hannah... how cute? that she hurts other kids to get what she wants?
Meh it's normal toddler behaviour. Children this age are selfish it's all about me lol. They don't have a concept of how the other child feels really.
Like Jessica said she should have brought toys too.
Honor is 19 months old shes not 4 when it would be a problem.
i know that it's rather typical behaviour for a child of her age-- but i still wouldn't deem it cute. typical--sure, expected--probably. cute? no way.
It's actually typical behavior. Babies at this age do not understand about sharing or other people's property. They don't even really play with each other. They parallel play. They are actually just starting to learn about others. So, it's not that Honor is a bully. She's just a typical toddler. But, if I was Jessica Alba surely I would have bought her a few toys of her own to play with. I'm sure she could afford it.
it is cute. agreed! hahaha
My adult son is kind hearted and generous to a fault. But I recall his 2nd birthday party where he was very aggressive with his toys. He shoved a couple of kids and snatched his toys away if they dared to play with them. Honor will learn to share. They have a one-track mind at that age.....I want it and I will take it.
non-story. Not only is Alba amateur when packing for a trip, she assumes that ALL toddlers should not be bullies. MOST toddlers are bullies. It's called Egocentricity - "Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development." Look it up.
You are reading too much into this. She never said anything about assuming all toddlers are not bullies and its not even implied here. She just said that that was when she realized that her child really is one and that she was not as bad as a toddler.
It's true that this is typical toddler behavior, but this is where parenting comes in. The parent uses these incidents to teach the child about sharing. Kids don't "learn" to share on their own, it's something that needs to be taught and continually reinforced by the parent. This is part of the problem with so many children today, no one takes the time to actually teach them basic manners. It's easier to just say kids will be kids and let it go.
Now is the time and opportunity to intervene and begin to teach her about sharing and keeping her mitts to herself.
It seems rude or ignorant of the mom not to bring her daughter's toys and to simply rely on the generosity of others and their parents to share. Also, for preventing the spread of germs, it would be better to play with your own toys. Yes, I am sure the mom can afford to spoil her baby with toys and she just seems snobbish in her attitude about it in general.
alba and honor aren't that cute.. for alba not to bring her any toys shows how dumb she is. i'm sure it's all about alba. it's not cute to bully anyone and if she's a bully this early on then they are in for trouble. alba is way too full of herself. get a clue, you aren't that great!
Good GOD you all need to chill out! 90% of toddlers are that way! The fact that she didn't bring toys doesn't make her a selfish person! She is absolutely gorgeous and so is her daughter! What is your problem? Are you jealous? Maybe you and your children look like my dogs ass covered in dog shit! GET A LIFE!!! I am sure if you do have children, they aren't perfect angels either so get over yourself!
oh people please! It's not cute & not that common that every kid does it! I have been around many children & very few are like that. In my day ( & even today) a kid like that is known as a spoiled bratt! It's starts in the crib. Alba should take that smile off of her face & do something before that little child of hers becomes worse! I would love to see how she would feel if one day that kid runs into a bigger bully than her! Lets see how cute Alba thinks that is!!
You just have to wonder what kind of dicipline, if any, did she recieve. If they can get away with it at 1 1/2 yrs (ripe age to be taught right and wrong) then they WILL remember and continue with this behavior.
It definately is NOT funny that Alba's toddler is a bully. I can speak for the receiving end of that bully toddler because my toddler was never a bully and is still not today as a child of ten, but I had to intervene on countless occasions when others' toddlers were bullying mine and the parent did nothing about it! Their child would hit mine and if I did not speak up for my daughter who is a very peaceful, shy child, it would just continue. My daughter was never a bully because I intervened immediately when I saw it and corrected the behavior. Alba was too busy "laughing" at the victims expense to consider this, it sounds like.
Oh you perfect mothers get over yourselves. This is her first child and will be a learning experience. She focused on bringing clothing, diapers, etc. She simply forgot about toys--how is that snobbish? And as for the bullying, my 15 month old would react exactly the same, indicates nothing about how she will be when she's older. Give Jessica a break!
just because YOUR 15 month old would react exactly the same way doesn't mean they're acting as they should....maybe u both just have brats. you're right about it having nothing to do with how they act when they get older though..... well at least up to the age where they really understand right from wrong. if they still act a certain way after that, however, then they were born that way....and no matter what ya did they were gonna turn out bad.
And your point is...
i don't know how cute it is to watch your child pull another child's hair, but i'd bet that anybody who does get a chuckle out of it is more than likely spoiling the crap out their kid. my sister is so guilty of that and then she wonders why they misbehave....her kids are a bit older but that just goes to show if parents start by spoiling their, kids they'll keep spoiling them and then it's too late....
My kids have done the same things. They aren't spoiled at all! I do believe that the child needs to be taught that it is not okay to hurt other people or take things from them, but good god, just because Honor is a celebrity's child you all think you have to sit on here and be ignorant! That is lame and pathetic! GET A LIFE!!! Jessica Alba is a very smart, talented, successful, & absolutely gorgeous woman! Don't be jealous, her life is just better than yours, that is YOUR fault, not hers!!! GET OVER IT!!!
lmao that people are actually debating this......
WHO CARES!!!!!
You people should grow up she is 19 MONTHS this is what kids do I bet if you asked your parents about your behavior at this age you would be surprised at how you acted at that age. Jessica like many new mothers made a mistake by not bringing Honor her own toys. Lesson learned give her a break too.
I would like to sincerly thank all the Psy.D', Psychologists, Child Behavioral Specialists, and L.I.S.W.'s who were kind enough to log on and contribute expert advice on this critical issue of the Use of Overtly Hostile Behavior to Obtain Self Fulfillment in Populations of Children Under 2.
Based on the insight of the comments, the cognitive field approach to this problem, and the vast divergence of the responses, it has been agreed that every registered participant and Presenter will convene this weekend for a wrap up session to be held at the Piaget Institute in Flushing, New York. The session will give all an opportunity to meet Honor and her mother for one on one interviews and testing for possible contributory causative factors.
LOL.
See you there.
Wow! You are just so Brilliant.
It's very interesting that Jessica Alba says that a recent family vacation to Mexico made her realize that her 19-month-old daughter Honor Marie is a baby bully. Very nice blog, thanks.
