That might be the most uncomfortable post titled I’ve ever written.

I’m not one to judge another chicks parenting style..we all do things our own way. Kids are all different and need different things. I may have been the only person in the world that it didn’t think it was awful that Suri Cruise is still allowed to have a paci. I mean really..if you had cameras in your face all day and got dragged all over the globe at all hours you’d need something to suck on too.

But I draw the line at letting your kids have genital shaped candy. That’s just…eww.

I’m gonna give Katie Holmes the benefit and say that maybe she was distracted having a grown up convo and didn’t even realize what Suri had in her hands. Anyone with kids has been in that situation.

In fact, there is a famous story in my family that involves a toddler, a stinky diaper, a spoon full of stinky diaper and an adult that wasn’t paying attention and reached out and grabbed said spoon. So really..compared to that..are the penis gummies that bad?

I don’t know why it’s such a shocker that 4 year-old Suri Cruise has her own iPad. Her father is the unofficial leader of the alien nation and he’s a huge movie star to boot. She has over 100 pairs of shoes, regularly shops with mommy at Barney’s and it’s been reported that Katie routinely spends about $25,000 a month on her Suri’s clothes.

But for some reason, it’s a big deal that she has a $800 iPad? Even most regular people I know (myself included) let their kids pound on their iPhones and iPads at restaurants and/or other situations just to keep them quiet for five minutes.

The eyewitness tells Life & Style Suri put her stuffed animals aside to use a drawing program on the expensive piece of equipment while Tom and Katie carried on a conversation with dining partners. She played with the iPad for about 20 minutes before the family headed out of the restaurant just before midnight.

This story started back when Suri Cruise was two years old. Experts and parents were all up in arms about her still drinking from a bottle back then. I remember thinking then it wasn’t that big of a deal. Then.

Flash forward two years, and tons of photos of Suri being a spoiled princess and we see her pushing four years old still sucking on a bottle. This photo was taken last Friday in NYC where Katie Holmes is shooting her new thriller Son of No One.

Granted…Suri travels alot and has paps in her face on the reg and maybe the comfort of the bottle keeps her from being a screamer. But still…

One expert told Us that it’s imperative that Tom and Katie get Suri off the bottle at this point.

“By the time kids are nine-months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw,” said Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights. “That development comes pretty early.”

Shu told Us she didn’t “know why” Cruise and Holmes still allowed their daughter to drink from one. “You don’t force kids to crawl when they can walk,” Shu told Us.

Tom Cruise is just like any doting father. When his plucky little 3 year-old showed an interest in cars he went out and bought her a child-sized toy car to ride around the yard. We’ve all been there, right?

Right. Except that  Tom didn’t run over to ToysRUs and pick up a $149.99 battery operated Barbie car for his kid. He bought her a $30,000 replica Indy race car to drive around in those gold high heels.

The Top Gun star reportedly splashed out $30,000 on a custom-made miniature replica of an Indy race car.

“Suri has been mesmerized by auto racing n TV so he thought it would be fun for her to have her own little car to ride in. If Suri truly takes to the sport, Tom plans on having a little race track installed at his L.A. property. But for now she’ll just be going up and down the family’s long driveway.”

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are getting slammed today for allowing their 3 year-old daughter to still drink from a bottle. Child development experts  started slinging opinions after this picture of Suri was snapped Wednesday sucking on a bottle on the set of her momma’s new flick, The Romantics.

“She should have been weaned off the bottle by the time she was one year old,” Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights , tells Usmagazine.com. “By the time kids are nine months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw. That development comes pretty early.”

But on the other hand….

But Dr. Harvey Karp — a pediatrician, child development specialist and creator of the DVD and book, The Happiest Toddler On The Block – doesn’t think it’s such a big deal. “Sucking is normal for kids when they are tired or bored — as long as kids aren’t keeping the bottle in their mouths for hours” he tells Us, adding that it may serve as an emotional security device. “Thumb-sucking is more damaging.”

I actually agree with Dr.Karp…it’s not like you don’t 3 year-old’s still using pacifiers. What’s the dif? There’s a certain stigma attached to a kid using a bottle too long.  And they are either hiding the fact that she’s still on the B (we never see pics of her sucking on her wheatgrass anymore) or she is really only using for a comfy. A small piece of calm in her crazy, celebrity baby life. I’ll tell you the real reason you can’t let a 2-3 year-old have a bottle..they chew through the damn nipples at an alarming rate!
