I as a parent of 3 girls have lost my temper too. You try your best to teach your children manners, right and wrong choices and they seem to take advantage of everything you do for them. Kids now a days show no respect in a lot of ways so us as parents are forced to be bad guys and yes that may mean sometimes blowing our tops, but that does not in any way reflect our love for our children. Alec Baldwin in my eyes is no different than the rest of us parents trying to stay in contact with his child, and if she does not show the respect that he feel he deserves than he has the right to say so. His bark may be worst than his bite after all he may be fighting against a woman who for all we really know is telling their daughter so many lies about her dad. We do not know what either of these people are truly like except what we have seen and heard in the media. So don't be so hard to judge until you live in Alec and Kim's true relationship behind closed doors. Rene' Fruita, Colorado
