17. Perfectly normal toddler!! I have a 2 year old who loves to run free like Kingston was doing, then gets very upset if she has to be put in her carseat. She went through a brief phrase of hitting when she was upset, but quickly learned it wasn't acceptable to hit. But I would have done EXACTLY what Gwen did, which was not make a scene but proceed to put him in the car and address it privately. Kingston is a cutie and I'm thrilled to see he is a normal toddler, he always looked so perfect!

18. The kid must have heard her last album or saw the video where the asian chicks are made to look hideous in order to make the bleach bomber look somewhat decent looking.

19. That is very typical behavior for his age. If she would have up and smacked him everyone would have tore her a new one. I think she handled it with the grace that is Gwen. I have rocked out to her when I was pregnant with my son who is now ten. She appears to be a fantastic and cool headed mom. She is a success in every aspect of her life and will absolutely raise grounded, loving children.

20. Loli #9 your an idiot. All toddlers go through a tantrum phase. It's how you handle it, she had tmz following her. What would you do with camera's on you. First you can't put the kid in time-out on the sidewalk and Gwen is no ghetto momma so she is not going to give him a good ole ghetto spanking/back hand. A toddler is going to test you, I'm sure Gwen is a wonderful mother.

21. This is so typical of a toddler, I have had my own toddler wack me in the face in a crowded area with the ooh's and aww's. They grow out of it if you don't accept it. I can only imagine how I would feel if it was on tmz when my toddler was throwing a royal tantrum.

22. I was just thinking before I watched the video - how refreshing that she actually takes care of her kid & doesn't have a nanny follow her everywhere. I WAS WRONG. You seriously can't go out with your kid without a nanny? How sad. Yeah, you need another one. I used to love Gwen - now, not so much.

23. I agree with you number 15, Every child throws a temper tantrum and just because (barrty kids turn into bratty adults) your child is the epitome of perfection (I'm sure) doesn't mean every other kid is. My son has done, and yes he does get disciplined. But children are children and at that young of an age, they aren't sure how else to take out their frustrations. You can always teach them, but that comes in due time and some patience. And I'm sure she disciplined her sons butt after that. I know I have when my son has done it. But these days you can't even spank your kids CLOTHED but without getting reported for child abuse. Some people have nothing better to do.

24. Who cares?? Its pretty creepy to have someone there filming your kid - paps or not.

25. if she doesnt spank him, she spoiling him and being a bad mom. If she DOES spank him, she is beating her child and is a bad mom. People are going to judge and make up their mind no matter what she does here.

Also, #12 - my 2 year old knows better, too, but it doesnt mean he wont try. HE'S 2. Its in his contract to act like that.

26. Anyone who finds this at all noteworthy has spent little to no time with a normal two-year-old boy. I felt like I could read her mind: let him walk around on his own, but mind the curb; anticipate that he'll want to pet the doggy, but read the faces of the dog-walkers to see if that's a good idea, etc., etc.

Raising kids is messy. They look like great parents to me.

27. Welllll.....he is a normal bratty toddler. He,s just seeing wheat he can, and can't get away with, with mom. He wanted to stay and play, and she (in his mind) was ruining his fun! Made him mad, so hit mom. He'll learn that is not acceptable behavior. As long as mom is consisitent in teaching him. And you are right, if she had tried to correct him in public, in front of the paps, there would have been a HUGE bruhaha over it!

28. I remember those days when my spoiled boy would be naughty! I miss those days.

29. On a different note.....Did anyone notice how she puts him in the backseat then quickly goes to the other side, it appears as if she never buckled him.. From her reaction it seemed like it was the Nanny's job to buckle him in becuase the nanny quickly goes to his door after Gwen goes by.

30. Typical toddler behavior, not a big deal. I've raised 4 kids and they all had toddler tantrums just like this and guess what? They've all grown into normal, law-abiding citizens.

Now would someone please explain how "beating his ass" is supposed to teach him NOT to hit?

"I'm hitting you to teach you not to hit!" What a screwed up message!
