Honey Boo Boo on Dr. Drew

14 years ago

She was on the Dr. Drew show last night, she is quite the "brat" she even tried to slap Dr. Drew, kept interupting, mind you she is only a child. I can't see good things coming in this childs future.

She's a 7 yo without other defences. She's tired of the celebrity and interruptions to her life. It is time to allow her go back to being a child.

I didn't see it, but have seen the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" thing a few times. She seems to be a product of her environment, where they appear to encourage her smart alec behavior.

None of my M27 have been real productive. I've done much better with full dwarf (B9/G11/G16), than mini-dwarf. I think M27 could be good, but only if you pay very close attention to it. Very few of my apples set very well this past year (on any rootstock). Only the Priscilla had a decent crop, about the same size as the year before, even though I had grafted over the upper portion. The apples from it were pretty good too- I'm not planning on grafting over the rest of it anymore. HGG would have had a good crop (see below). Sundance also had a moderate crop (1st time in year #3), with most others (including Goldrush and WIlliam's Pride, smaller in year #4 than in #3) having small crops. Some of it could be letting them bear too early. I thinned quite a bit, but more would probably have helped. While they are all well staked and mulched, I haven't watered them very much. I should probably give them a couple more good soakings during the dry parts of July. I got 5 in 2011 from Raintree: Ashmead's Kernel- never leafed out, but a single bud from the graft union did grow. After a year, I transplanted it back into a pot, which I later replanted after it yielded 2 apples and I verified that it wasn't just rootstock. Enterprise- looked like it had a good root system when I planted it, but it never leafed out. Akane- 3 apples in 2013 (3rd year) and probably a couple more last year. Hudson's Golden Gem- It has set big crops the last two years. In 2013, all but one of the dozen+ apples cracked and rotted. In 2014, I lost most of the ~20 apples to animals. The 3 I picked were very good. Red Boskoop- This is the biggest M27. Maybe 7.5' tall, it seems like a good size to me. It has been covered with blooms the last 2 years, but hasn't ripened a single apple. There were a few which made it into summer, but none made it all the way.

Wow I am having a hard time with some of these answers. The feedback is wonderful, but the harsh rants about my putting form over function and the garbage comment feel very uncalled for. LWO, you apparently did not even read my posts correctly and missed the fact that I am moving my kitchen OUT of my entry. If you are going to criticize, which is, after all, what I asked for, please realize that you know nothing about me and ask before you rip apart motivations you do not understand. I have no romantic notions about ranges in islands. I have lived in houses with wall ranges and island ranges, with young children, and know that for MY lifestyle, an island range would be ideal. This is based on PRACTICAL considerations and experience, not TV or magazine imagery. Yes, I will have a 30" x 42" hood with a 1200 cfm blower. Regardless of percentages of prep vs. cooking, this is what works for me and is a key element of my design. I have no issues explaining why this is, as you all have valid points as to the drawbacks. LWO, you may have good considerations, but the way you worded them was very hostile and uncalled for. We have different opinions and habits and I expect mine to be treated respectfully too. Buehl, thank you so much for your thoughtful post. I would love to see a sketch if you have time! I see the point abut the space between sink and stove. Maybe I could put a small prep sink in the island like you suggested? I like that idea a lot. Maybe we could fit my main sink under the left window - do they make corner sinks? - and center my fridge between the windows. Or leave it to the left but put in cabs next to it, and then a stacked TO/MW? I am not sure that I have room to push that countertop further into the mudroom. As I planned it, the stacked W/D will be against the back wall, and I can't shove it directly again the mudroom sink as I need some cabinet space to store laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. That hampers me a little in the kitchen area. If I put my kitchen sink under the left window, could I put it right against the counter corner, or would that make it very uncomfortable to work at? Shannonplus2, I do understand that island cooking is not like on TV. But as it is, I cook on my island and look out to check on the kids frequently. The problem is that I have to step away from the stove to do this, since the kitchen right now is in that entry room! It's funny but most of the ideas you all have suggested, mirror my current kitchen layout which is a galley design as Lisa_a sketched above. This remodels coming about more because I need a mudroom and laundry room, plus all the kitchen cabs and appliances are dying or dead, and I don't really care for large rectangular islands, for some reason the L shaped ones work better for me (my mom has the big rectangle and it is too big a stretch across for a shorty like me, but so long that it's not as cozy to work together in the kitchen). So, I am trying to keep what I...

Mom of 6 needs kitchen planning insights

Thank you again, to each and every one of you. You have all given me much to think about as we've worked through this sticky kitchen plan. DH and I sat down last night and laid out what we are going to do. You might be suprised or maybe even a bit dissappointed at a few of our decisions, but as we sat in the space and thought through our movements and needs, we think that this is what works best. Hold onto your hats, because we are doing a variation of the plan that was referred to as disjointed. We are planning on taking out the 30" stove and replacing the top with butcherblock. Underneath will be larder style drawers for potatoes, onions, fruit, etc. A fridge will go in the fridge hole, with farm storage next to it. This will make an efficient work flow: garden or fridge to farm sink, chop at the butcherblock, have a 30" cupboard above it to hold the everyday basics, pasta and such, and fill casserole dishes, canning jars, or pans on the counter under the big window, and then on to the stove. We talked about why we installed the counter and large window the way we did originally, and neither one of us really want to change its functioning. It was set lower to make it easier for baking and pouring. Putting stoves in front of it would cut into the view, and we'd be giving up that wide swath of working and setting space. I haven't been all that pleased with the SS sink since we put it in. The large cupboard that hangs out in space over it, the one I didn't think would bother me when we planned it that way, turns out to aggravate me. (Am I claustrophobic or something?) I'm not very tall, yet it still feels like I ought to duck when I am using that sink. Soooooo we plan to remove that sink and the cupboard above and to the right of it and replace it with a larger stove, probably the Crown that I mentioned earlier, and put a narrower cupboard to the right of the sink for cooking oils and savory spices. Putting the stove in the SS sink spot puts it in a more protected zone than it was in our original plan, as several of you have recommended doing. Why the Crown? Well, it's repairable. It doesn't have anything electronic to go bad on it. So, even if something goes quirky with it, we can fix it ourselves. It's 40" wide, giving us 20" to put toward storage rather than 2 30" stoves that would chew up 60" of valuable space. Maybe some day, if we are unhappy with it, we can upgrade to a fancier NXR or Wolf type stove, but for right now, I think I can be a happy clam with it. Fully refurbished, these are listed on ebay for close to 5k, so I don't think it's going to be a bad stove. Let's continue on down the kitchen. To the right of the stove will be the baking area with a heat resistant counter. Where the DW was, there is room for a rolling grain bin, and we can fit some more bins, and a cart to hold my grain grinder, too, in front of and to the right of the heat run. We just put back our old island, which we conjured up from a salvaged butcherblock attached to an antique dresser. (Drawers under the island Rhome! Grin.) We had taken it out because the clearance was too tight when the DW was open, and it would slide into table space when the DR was in the front room. Since the DW will be moved, it won't be an issue anymore. Baking will happen at the island. along with using the sqeezo/victorio, and other group cooking tasks. Bigger butchering projects can happen here, too. So, the sink and the DW are going on a peninsula style counter coming out between the two windows at the side of the house. Amazingly enough, this does wonders for our lighting that's already in. The sink will line up right under the fixture that used to hang over the dining table (anyone want it? I like its looks, but, it's gotta go. It needs a taller ceiling to be happy). We've put a ceiling hugger in it's place. Ahhh, my head can breathe in that space again. The ceiling fan light hangs over the island. That one is high enough not to bother me, thank goodness. On the stairwell wall will go one more fridge placed in the corner. From the fridge out along the wall will be a 5' counter with drawers underneath, and wall cabs above. This spot will be for dishes, snacky stuff for DH's lunches, teas, and wraps and storage containers for after meal cleanups. The dishwashing peninsula lets us look out the front windows without being right up against them. It also lets us have a spot for folks to hang out at the front. We mocked it up with our trusty folding table and it feels spacious up there, amazingly enough. DW will be to right of sink. Sink will have the doors inset underneath for knee room. To the left of the sink, I'm planning to have DH build a base cab to hold our toaster oven on the top shelf, and the cookbooks below. On the side opposite the sink, I'd like to put shallow cabs that can hold extras: toys, books, extra kitchen needs, I'm sure it will change as our needs change. Because the sink cleanup area is such a short run, we're planning to do a 30" depth flat counter, no backsplash. This will give us more landing space for the dishes during cleanup. We're wanting to do this counter with solid surface, and put runnels in for draining large pots and pans. The middle room will have 2 workspots along the front wall, probably a laptop at each window. Drawers in between the windows. "Gutter shelves" to the right of the windows. The stairwell wall will have a large floor to ceiling cupboard, 12" deep, for homeschool and art, craft, office supplies for things that are done at the table (coloring, etc.) The large expanse of wall at the back of the room, where Rhome drew the computer area, will be a 15" deep x 9' 6" long pantry. The wall between the DR and Liv. Rm will be removed (Yahooooo! I can hardly wait!) We're thinking of arching the top of the doorway that has to stay there, and doing panels, similar to a paneled door, on the stub wall that has to stay there. I'd love to know how to make this not look "weird". Under the picture window will be a work counter, 26" high, that can hold 2 sewing machines. Under the counter will be a drawer unit on wheels for threads and other small sewing supplies. We're planning to make the counter have supports like a gate leg table. Normally, the lg. couch will divide the DR from the living room. But when guests are coming, we can drop the sewing counter down, put the machines away, and slide the lg. couch against the picture window. To the right of the window will be floor to ceiling cupboards for toys and sewing supplies. Along the back wall will be bookshelves above, enclosed fabric storage below. The loveseat can push against this and be pulled out when we need to get fabric. Our couches are lightweight, thankfully. I wasn't kidding when I said I move stuff around a lot. Two comfy chairs will sit a bit in front of the window, too. To complete the circular tour, behind the back door will be a cupboard where I can keep meds, herbs, and extra laundry soaps. I honestly can't tell you whether or not we will do the boot wash spot, DH and I didn't touch on that one last night. My dad called to tell me yesterday that he has a friend who offered to do us a custom SS base, if we want, but I forgot to tell DH this. I think that's the majors. You all have helped us think through so much. Thank you for giving of yourselves in this way. It's a sacrifice to pour so much of yourself into helping us wrestle with these plans; we appreciate it. I know this is long, but I didn't want to leave you hanging, wondering what we decided. If you'd like, I can hopefully post pics when we're done. I've loved seeing others pictures, and will try to return the favor. Hugs to you all, (hope that's not too personal. I just appreciate your help!) Laughable

I've never seen her show but I've certainly seen snippets of her and I was interested to see how Dr. Drew would react to her behavior. I agree 100% with hounds. The constant interrupting really bugged me. I'd love to know what was really going through Dr. Drew's mind - I'm afraid if I were there I'd have a hard time not telling her to knock it off.

Mom sure can make some interesting faces.

Let's call this what it is; the girl is an overindulged child who is never told she can't have or do something. Her parents are the exploiters, since they must agree to the taping of their daughter and the family.

The parents should be disciplined and instructed on how to properly raise a child. They appear as nothing more than money grubbing individuals and are not afraid to use their child for their gain.

Pathetic.

They are ALL a disgusting hot mess , and it shows the dumbing down of America to follow this band of hillbillies around like they're stars. Mother had four daughters each to a different criminal father,never married any of them, got pregnant at 13. But ,hey, we've moving up. Her daughter waited till she was 16 to have a baby and has nothing to do with it's father either. One of Mom's kids father is a sexual predator. And if Honey Boo Boo is a beauty queen, either of my dogs would win against her.

Wonderful role models and entertainment.

Calling a child fat can be extremely damaging. I was called fat by a lot of people (children AND adults) when I was young and I still have self-esteem issues from it 20+ years later. Even if it is true, it still hurts.

And no, it's not the best way to get them to lose weight. It's not coddling to abstain from calling a child fat, or encouraging bad behaviors or protecting overly delicate/easily offended types or anything like that. Young children have very little control over what they eat or their environment, and if they aren't taught anything other than bad food, then it's not their fault. It's just as bad as calling a child stupid or worthless. I grew up on processed foods because that's what I was fed, and I didn't know about proper nutrition until I was older. Was that my fault? No. But I can STILL remember every single time someone would comment on my weight when I was a kid and how much it hurt. Not to mention it led to me hating myself and developing eating disorders that I still struggle with today.

Please remember that what you say about a child gets back to them in some way, even if it's not directly. Things posted on the internet will never disappear.

I've seen bits and pieces of Toddlers and Tiaras (I think that is the show that spawned Honey Boo Boo) but I don't understand why she was chosen to be the STAR, if that is what she is now.

I tried to watch the HBB show, but just can't; it is too gross.

As for HBB herself, I think she is over rated, over indulged, overweight, and under educated. Even Dr. Drew was in "over his head." He didn't know what to do with her.

This is a good example of the dumbing down problem we have among our population now. I feel for this child, and I hope for her sake this show will be OVER soon; although it may be too late for her to have a normal life.

"And if Honey Boo Boo is a beauty queen, either of my dogs would win against her."

Seriously? She's 7 years old and you're saying your dogs are more attractive than she is? Say what you will about their family but I have never heard them say something that cruel and superficial about anyone else, especially a young child.

People post pictures of their children and grandchildren on this forum all the time. Is it okay to call them fat, sloppy and uglier than a dog if it's true? I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be tolerated so I don't understand why she's fair game for the name-calling just because her parents put her on tv.

My dogs are very cute. One of them is Mr July on a calender. ..Over the top comment maybe, but this show makes me gag. BooBoo is a very unappealing child in looks and actions. They do nothing all day but eat junk food, and then wonder why Mom weigh over 300 pounds and the girls are on their way. Mom was making her famous dinner the other night. Boiled a big load of spaghetti, melted a tub of butter and ketchup in the microwave and voila..dinner served on their recliners.

There are subtitles on the screen because no one can understand if they're speaking English. Yet this show beat the convention coverages. Sad.

I wrote up a post, but somehow it disappeared before posting.

I find Alana to be a really sweet child with a lot of endearing qualities. Her 'bratty' behavior shows up when she is put in an uncomfortable position where she is expected to 'perform' as some sort of side show. I would be uncomfortable in that situation also. I've never watched Dr. Drew so I don't know anything about him. If he were a good host, he would have recognized that Alana wasn't interested and would have switched tactics in the interview by possibly allowing Alana her space and talking to June instead. Alana is a 7 yo child and is acting as other 7 yo children would in her position. I can't blame June for using the opportunity to try and make some money for her family to make their lives better. TLC put this family on tv because they wanted a train wreck. Shows like Dr.Drew are happy to make that happen.

Despite the negative and criminal attributes of the parents, the family is still a loving family and the girls are sweet and likeable. They need some education and social skills. Hopefully, the resources of the show will allow them to do that.

I'm not a fan of beauty pageants. IMO, they are usually a symptom of poor self esteem and a poor use of family resources. Having said that, I think that Alana is as capable of being a beauty queen as the other girls competing in the pageants. When she is in full makeup and costume, she is as pretty as the rest of the girls. Most people are not that attractive without artificial help. If Miss America were a true beauty pageant, there wouldn't be much of a competition there either. Alana has a big personality which will take her further than drop dead gorgeous looks. With the right training and education, she could go very far.

The entire family lives like backwoods primates!

Alana is living what she is learning, no doubt, but what I haven't seen mentioned here is; "TLC" is supposedly "The Learning Channel".

Question for Monica, IF she will answer. If your husbands granddaughter turns out to be an overweight child, are you going to call her fat? I would love to be there when/if you say to her Mother or Father, oh she's fat. Bet you wouldn't hurt their feelings by saying that. So why is it ok to do it to another child. Or is it because she can't hear you.

If any comment on this thread diminishes how far females have come, yours does it. True beauty comes from within, adell, there's nothing "artificial" about it.

"Pretty is as pretty does", and no amount of makeup will ever make anyone from that Boo Boo clan truly "pretty".

I saw the episode with the boogers out the nose. IMO, TLC was the bad actor on that. Alana sneezed and put her hand over her mouth during the interview. She looked embarrassed and wasn't sure what to do. It was an awkward stare down and Alana looked ready to cry. Any caring person would have gotten her a tissue or excused her to go to the bathroom to take care of it. TLC was rude there and the booger scene was a poor reflection on TLC not Alana.

GrammyMyrna...Nobody has said that true beauty doesn't come from within. I believe I was referring to physical appearance in the part that you quoted. Alana has the spark of inner beauty. She needs some polish for the rough edges.

IMO, the lady's attempts to teach table manners was a setup by the TLC people and not really a serious attempt. I'm not entirely sure that Alana's sister didn't do her little stunts just to mess with the lady a bit.

I kept thinking during the interview that her mom should have stopped and told Alana to stop interrupting! Kids as young as 2-3 need to be told, "Just a minute. We're talking. When we're through, I'll talk to you." That's just allowing her to be rude and children (even tv "stars") need to learn manners.

I saw a TV commercial for the Dr. Drew show (didn't watch the show itself, don't watch the Honey Boo Boo show, either), and the first thing I thought was that the girl was probably being hauled around all morning, maybe had to take a flight or train to get there, was probably primped and poked before her camera appearance, and was likely just very tired and needed some space and a nap and aspirin.

I wonder why Dr. Drew didn't just stop the taping and reschedule it for the next day, or even a few hours later. I guess he saw her little bits of cranky behavior and thought "BIG RATINGS!"

Like all the other "child stars" we've seen over the years, I just hope that down the line she looks around, realizes that there are other, better ways of living, and sets her ambitions high. A lot of folks in this world have overcome challenging starts, and I hope she'll be one of them.

What are they thinking putting these shows on the air anyway? Ratings and that is all they care about, It is the same everywhere, not much different from when we were kids, EXCEPT most of us were taught morals, manners and respect for EVERYONE. Kids today learn from what they see and I am afraid it won't get better, just worse. If anyone likes home reno shows and had ever watched Love it or List it you can see one very good example. Those people are plain nasty and outright ignorant. Who died and made them royalty? I loved to see just what could be done with some of the homes but I can not even stand to see the start of the show come on anymore..the homeowners don't appreciate what is being done they have to act like ...don't get me started ..it would be embarrassing to even have a next door neighbor like that. I realize it is only a reality show..as are most that are on now because that is what makes the ratings. All the talk about this child, that is fat as stated by some posters is just sad. That child (if they are her parents) didn't or should I say doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell-o of being any different than she is. Hopefully someone will step into her life and steer her in the right direction. But there is a chance of someone in your own families that may come along and be "fat" either from a medical condition or the bad choices that their parents make when raising him or her. What do we do? Reject all these kids and ridicule them, what a boost to their self esteem, because of course we are perfect to begin with? I think not, mirrors show the outsides not what you are inside and we all have faults. To anyone that has never had to deal with a weight problem they will never know what nasty comments and and jeers can do to a person. Then again, start watching all the bullying that has lead to teen suicides all it took was a comment. One that made them feel so bad about themselves that they didn't know how to cope at that young age so the problems kept getting bigger and bigger with the bullies taunting and name calling ...only to escalate to higher degrees of torture. Name calling is just what I did in my post by calling those people nasty and ignorant. In my opinion they were degrading to others but in Honey Boo's case she just doesn't know any better, in social skills nor in her actions and being the youngest in the family probably didn't help matters any.

I think this is the best, certainly one of the most revealing threads, I've read since I've been on here.

This whole disgusting HBB thing seems to me to be a reflection of how disgustingly wretched our society has become. It's not the sickeningly unhealthy family that this show depicts that scares me, many of us see that in one form or another. It's the huge number of viewers that this type of programming commands that is FRIGHTENING!
Exploitation? If people didn't watch that family then that little "fat" girl couldn't be exploited, right? Bustin' on Monica Pa for calling a fat kid "fat" wasn't at all in line.
