Pixiechic, I also think Phoebe is right, it’s been a general debate rather than just about Suri all the time, even though it’s taken place on comments about her. I’m not even sure that people have meant that it’s too much money, only that they hope it doesn’t mean Suri will grow up not understanding the value of money. I also agree that point with Phoebe. And on the ‘to each his own, mind your own business’ shout, reading through the comments on this post alone, it seems that the general consensus is that as long as a comment is respecting of the celebrities and their children, it’s usually okay to make it, whether it is wonderful or a bit critical. I don’t usually comment on here but I wanted to reply to this because I’ve seen people get really personal and not be commenting on the children anymore. I think the previous posters are right, everyone needs to get back to talking about the children, not the right to say what they want, and others shouldn’t be telling them to shut up or telling them what they are allowed to say. I have a feeling this debate WILL happen again, but I hope not.

Suri’s a true beauty, just like her mama!

It’s pathetic that people have to criticize this family for the lifestyle they CAN afford..Unless you are the one spending for them…I don’t see how it becomes your business to say they are spending too much on their child’s clothes…TO EACH HIS OWN…MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS…

She is totally adorabe and cuteeeeeeee…^o^

Too much focus has been made about people saying about the expense of Suri’s clothes. From my perspective, this hasn’t really been about Suri’s clothes in particular, the debate just happened to pop up on one of her posts and it continued. Additionally, it does seem, that the majority of Suri’s clothes are very expensive, where as other kids tend to have a good mixture of value and money in there. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with spending the money, only a hope that children whose wardrobes cost a lot are taught the value of money in some other way. To me, that isn’t a point restricted to Suri, it’s all children.

Just to clarify, I don’t believe the alien comments have ever made it through the filters here, so it’s not fair to make that comparison. I know some bad things have been said about this family, but it hasn’t been on this site, that’s what’s nice about the comment policy.

Anyway, it would just be good if CBB readers would be a little more respectful of each other, as well as of the celebrities in the future!

Where is Suri’s coat? Katie is wearing a long coat. I have seen numerous pictures of Katie wearing a coat and Suri only having a blanket even last Christmas shopping season.

SH- I TracyG was referring more to the comments people have been making lately about Katie and Tom spending so much money on Suri’s clothes, rather than the comments about Suri not having a coat on.

As for the other comments she listed (e.g. the “alien” comments), I think she was just trying to point out various things that people have complained about on Suri posts over the two plus years it’s been since she was born.

Basically, I think she was trying to point out that the Cruises seem to get picked on for practically EVERYTHING they do. For example, a few weeks ago, people were complaining that Suri’s bangs were too long. Then she got a haircut…so people switched to complaining about her lack of a coat.

Now that she’s at least wearing long sleeves and leggings, people have started complaining about how much money Katie and Tom spend on Suri’s clothes.

Anyway, would somebody please tell me why it is ONLY Katie that gets picked on for buying her daughter expensive clothes, even though other celeb kids (including the Jolie-Pitt girls and Violet Affleck) are sometimes seen wearing expensive clothing as well (Zee, Shi, and Violet have all worn clothing from BonPoint, just like Suri often does, for example)?

Tracy, I think Phoebe is right. There aren’t any of those wierd alien comments here – even if people were making them they wouldn’t go through to the comments section. Last week when Suri was wearing short sleeve summer dresses in the cold November weather – people were concerned and had a good argument to be concerned – not hating or whatever…Suri had nothing on her arms, nothing on her legs, and nothing but shoes on her feet w/ no socks. That’s not right, I don’t care who you are, celebrity or not. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out.

Again, Tracy, if you don’t want to read negative comments, a comment forum is probably not the best thing for you to read. If you hear any of the alien/Chris Klein etc comments here, I think you’d be right to complain, but don’t lump that in with comments about her clothes, that’s just trying to sensationalise your point.

We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but then no one is commenting on that. I really think it’s just time for people to have a little more openness towards each other on here and accept the disagreements. There’s no need for you to shout down people just because you don’t like what they say. I’m sorry, because I partly do understand what you’re saying, but the point is that you don’t have the right to say someone is not allowed to make a negative comment, and that does extend to however many comments there are.

I am not maniacal…I am just sick and tired of hearing negative comments about this family. If it’s not one thing, it’s another and the same people who make the negative comments on the Cruise family are the same people DEFENDING the negative comments said about other celebs.

Tom and Katie have done nothing but love each other, love their daughter and try to lead a happy life. They have been constantly bashed, ripped apart to the point where people were speculating things SO ridiculous! Things like “Suri’s an alien” “Suri isn’t their biological child” Suri is Chris Kleins.” “How dare they show her off” ” How dare they NOT show her off” “Katie’s being brainwashed” “Tom’s so weird” “How can Suri be raised normally?” “How dare they spend money on their kid” ETC ETC ETC!!!

When does it end?

I just think if it’s not your kid and you aren’t perfect parents either, then don’t sit on your high horse and lay blame and critiscm on others.

CelebrityBabyLover, I agree with you entirely. I think all the negative “concerned” comments are unfair as well. Suri is so cute btw.
