Alec Baldwin to pen parenting book
By ANIMonday, June 22, 2009
WASHINGTON - Alec Baldwin is planning to pen a parenting book as the actor fears parents may be going too soft on their kids.
The 30 Rock star, who previously revealed that he had become suicidal after his private voicemail to his daughter calling her a “rude little pig” was leaked, said that he was stunned at the way kids were being handled nowadays.
The 51-year-old explained that some parents opted to treat their children kindly at all times since they themselves were yet to get over their harsh past at the hands of their own parents.
“It will be ironic for some people, but I’m going to write a parenting book,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling Playboy magazine.
“We’re at… an awful place right now in terms of parenting. People are raising their children with the belief that we need to be friends with our children.
“Kids have too much power and call too many of the shots, telling their parents what they will and won’t do,” he added. (ANI)
