Oh, that's nothing.....when old Bubble Eye's daughter (Georgie's sister) died Barbie "celebrated" by playing a round of GOLF the next day.... They didn't tell George anything about it until AFTER THE FUNERAL!!!!
..........respect for life????
Again, only when it isn't really life....not so much afterwards...
Some of the comments here are astounding. It is completly understandable for a mother to have an emotional connection with her fetus. It would be weird if she didn't. If Barbara wanted to show her teenage son then it is her "choice"... We're all for a womans right to choose, right?
this is why liberals have no credibility and lost the election...progressive philosophy is beginning it's decline and demise in this Country...
Barbara Bush parades a dead fetus around to her children in a pickle jar. But when Barbara Bush's three year old daughter dies, George, 7 at the time, was not told or given a chance to go to the funeral.
What is that about?
Quote:
George Bush's next-eldest sibling, Robin, died of leukemia at the age of three, when he was seven years old himself. Frank argues that this loss, and the way his parents handled it, has had a lasting impact on Bush's psyche.
At the time she became ill, Robin was the future president's only sibling (although Jeb Bush was born before she died) and a favorite playmate. His parents never told him that she was sick, although he was asked to stop playing with her. Only after her death did they disclose to him her illness, which had lasted longer than doctors expected it to and had led the Bushes on a frantic quest back East to find a specialist who could treat her. These efforts kept them away from their son for long stretches of time, and he was not present when Robin died, nor at her burial.
After the service in Connecticut, Barbara and George H.W. Bush returned to Houston the next day. There was no further attempt at closure or a protracted mourning process, in keeping with WASP mores of the time.
Frank argues that the apparent abruptness of his little sister's passing and the lack of any way to deal with it have had a strong impact on George W. Bush's later personal development. Barbara Bush has since said the way she handled Robin's death with her son was one of the few mistakes she made as a parent. Frank documents several incidents in Bush's life related to Robin's death at various points through Bush's childhood and adolesence.

Later on in his teen years, he began drinking and eventually developed the alcoholism which would plague him for much of the rest of his life. Frank asserts that Bush was a very heavy drinker from the age of 15 until the age of 40. While alcoholism can have many origins, Frank argues that the unresolved pain from his sister's passing could be one motivator for this self-medication.
Obviously not with mid-term or earlier miscarriages. What is sick is that you make light of it. I suspect you've never suffered a miscarriage with such disrespect shown to the subject at hand. Grow up.
Oh Please. Whether I've suffered a miscarriage or not is
not the issue here. A miscarriage is a natural occurrence,
especially in the first trimester. Most women back then
just "let it pass", no bigger than a snot ball. Barbara Bush
had 6 children. If she mourned this miscarriage
longer than short term she would have mental illness.
Barbara showed this baby jar to George when he was a
teenager. This is when George and his mother
developed "their relationship" after this......
I bet George used that baby in the jar as an excuse
every time he got smashed or snorted coke
or maybe even when he invaded Iraq where there were
no weapons of mass destruction
Trying to simply come up with a story to put in his book,
There is nothing interesting about this family, let's
After some of the comments that I heard Barbara make when hurricane Katrina hit on those who were in the shelters, I have no respect for her at all.
I am a woman & would never keep a fetus in a jar & then show it to my teen.
I personally think that is crazy, sick & only a warped mind would even consider it.

This is the quote from Bush's interview concerning the matter:
Quote:
"She says to her teenage kid, 'Here's a fetus,'"
Barbara refers to it as a fetus. That shows sterile detachment IMO.
Couple that with the fact that Barbara buries her three year old daughter without telling her seven year old son GWB and golfs the day after her funeral. I think that woman is devoid of feelings. Barbara Bush has no emotional connections.
He was abused as a child. I feel so bad for Bush now.

Understandably, George Sr. spent much of his time far away from Barbara Bush's icy boudoir, indulging in a discreet fling or two while earning his stripes as a master of the empire, l[b]eaving juvenile George to cower under the unstinting commands of his cruel mother, who his younger brother Jeb dubbed "the Enforcer
"Fetus" is such an impersonal term - can't we all agree to call them pre-babes?
