Oh Whitney, you've read my mind…and my heart! I love this show, and I can't wait (hypothetically speaking, of course) until Frankie, as he'll be called soon enough, fails seventh grade Algebra and gets put with the other common folk in -gasp- Pre-Algebra. Won't be long 'til he's smokin' joints with his nanny, whilst Mummy and Daddy continue their sad networking attempts. Don't you think even he was a bit surprised at the banality of his fourth birthday party?

give me 3 days with that kid and he'll be an angel. why is it so hard for rich people to punish their children for bad behavior?

my poor American son has a French name too! *gasp* OMG my husband and I are pretentious too!

maria, sure, but francois? maybe it's just that the only francois i knew talked funny, liked to drive with his knees with his head out of the sunroof, not only sniffed glue but used it as a styling product, and had to bum around for a year after high school because he refused to apply to more than one college. true story.

2yr old Lizzy: I don't need you! Go away!
Me: Uh huh…*laughs*
Lizzy: Get me something to eat and put on the babysitter movie

This morning my son bit my hand really hard, he bit the hand that feeds him! I forgave him. But I won't forget. 04/17/08 Never Forget.

wow.

My baby pretends she wants to snuggle and then chomps down on your shoulder. Aww, my sweet little blood sucker.

This is why I firmly believe in strapping children into high chairs, no exceptions.

He kind of reminds me of a young Danny Bonaduce.

maria, is your son's name Pierre, or Jaques?

I used to love Jaques Custeau.

Poor kid. His parents are such repulsive, pretentious, tight-assed twits. I can only imagine the amount of therapy it going ot take to get this kid's life on a "normal" track once he realizes how messed up his childhood was. Also, shall we start a pool to pinpoint the date of his first schooyard ass-kicking? I mean, the kid's nam eis Francois, for God's sake.

Maria, I think it's not the Francois that irritates the hell out of people, it's the fact that they use it to make themselves feel important. If I was their maid/nanny, I'd name my kid Francois, too, just to show them. WITH the weird letter "c" that has no place in our alphabet.

Why is Keith Urban using my computer and pretending not to be himself? He's obviously trying to one-up us all by throwing Latin into the mix.

LOL! My son has an American name and is a Quebecer! Quelle Faux-Pas! Funny I name him with an American name so he will be cool and these richies name him "francois"!Francois is usually the gay guy in class! Why not a cool frech name! Most french parents name their's Jean-Francois so he can use JF as a teenager!

Love the website!

You're all forgetting that his poor baby brother is named Johann. Johann!

When I tried to name our baby girl my husband would come up with a taunt which children would use to tease and harass our children in the future. Needless to say, I ended up with a very short list of names to choose from. I had a co-worker once who made her fiance sign a contract stating she could name the kids…If only I had followed her advice!

Lord have mercy on this child. His name alone will be his undoing, however, these two wish-they-were-important parents are messing up their children something fierce! Not by the names they have endowed them with, but by this attitude that teaching them "book" smart information is somehow more important than just teaching them to be decent human beings. Who cares if Francois can do "smart" things at age 4………he is a bad behaved child that will only turn into a petulant adult. They should be ashamed! I have 14 year old twins and a 6 year old boy……and while my kids are kids……they would NEVER behave the way that little boy does! AND the true measure of a parent is how your kids act when you aren't in the room…….I love the show, but want to slap Alex and her husband upside their heads and tell them that their own idiotic attitudes will destroy their children! ugh! Even Ramona has done better than them!
