  • Michael Jackson's Children and Homeschooling

    Michael Jackson’s nurse was interviewed on Greta’s “On the Record” this evening. I appreciated the lovely comments she made about Michael and his family. She said very positive things about Michael’s children and the fact that they are homeschooling and how intelligent the children are.

    Earlier today, at the memorial service, it was heartbreaking to hear Michael’s daughter, Paris, speaking about her Daddy. “Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine and I just want to say I love him so much.” I believe her.

    I felt sad for the children that Michael wasn’t there to protect them anymore, and of course because they have lost their only beloved parent. During the memorial service, the Jackson family should have kept the children off camera (like Michael had done). Now, everyone really knows their faces, and the children will likely never know freedom again.

      Agree with you that it was truly a sad moment – especially when Paris spoke about her dad.

      I hope the kids do find some peace and hope that they can hold onto in these difficult times.

      Have you watched (or rewatched) the 2003 interview with the infamous bed-sharing and bed-time-routine clip? I did not watch it at the time because it was too upsetting. I recently saw it while I was at the gym. Now that I have a daughter, I saw the clip with new eyes. I saw a man who was heart-broken and insecure due to his relationship with his father and who appreciated family closeness and nurturing. I feel bad for his children and wish that MJ’s wish to hide their faces had been honored.
