Why do people rarely call Kim Basinger out for her equally poor parenting skills?

People justifiably jump on Alec Baldwin over the voice-mail incident but hardly anybody pays much attention to Kim’s role.

Kim Basinger seems to be the type of person who has a weird obsession with her daughter. It’s almost as if she sometimes wants to live vicariously through her. And I was extremely disturbed by Kim’s comments about last year about “awarding Ireland freedom” as a way of apologizing for the agony that she put her through during her divorce from Alec.

Kim doesn’t seem to rationalize that this is really code for “enabling”. Of you allow a child to grew up without any set of rules and regulations, then they might as well have little to no moral compass.

Kim Basinger just comes across the type of person who rather be her daughter's friend or playmate then her parent/guardian and authority figure to respect. And I’m equally sickened by Kim using her daughter as a weapon/pawn against her war with Alec Baldwin. There’s little doubt in my mind that Kim was behind the release of that voice-mail. To Kim, it didn’t matter if her daughter was going to be humiliated to the world (again, that doesn’t divert the fact that Alec was absolutely in the wrong with what he said and the harshness behind it), because to her, the ends justified the means. She got the world to she her ex at his very worst even at the expense of their daughter becoming collateral damage.
