Libra


Jem

Recommended Posts

It is what it is...she's leaving her 4 month old twins to go on a reality show. Even if she was pregnant when she applied, she knew she would have kids if chosen.

Couldn't she wait until they were a bit older.

If you ask me, she is giving herself a vacation from them...it's not easy taking care of twins.

BTW - I like her little admission about her mom. What is it that her mom said..."Look that child is white." (paraphrased) Could you imagine the uproar if it was the opposite..her white mother in law saying that about the twin that is black?

PS: To preserve themselves, I can most definitely see Libra and Dan teaming up because I have a feeling that those with strong viewpoints might be booted first.

I totally can see having to serve your country, or for other extenuating circumstances, I am with wicked , I hate to see any kids stuck in daycare for 10 hrs a day either, as a matter of fact I think the "family unit" as a whole has gone to hell in a hand bag. Leaving your young babies to go to a reality show is not my idea of extenuating circumstances and it is not serving your country, I will hold all of my judgement on this gal till I see her and she opens her mouth,lol, but right off the bat I do not like that she left the kids for 3 months.

I agree with you all the way Gingersnaps!!!

Ok guys this is the only time im going to post anything.I am Libra's husband. If you have questions or concerns about Libra's decision to be on the show, go to her myspace page and get the truth from the source. Secondly, Once the game starts I think you will see that Libra is not going to spend all of her time talking politics. Libra didn't edit any of the footage you have seen so far. Dont judge, especially if you are judging from an uneducated perspective. Sit back and watch and you will see why I fell in love with her. Have a great season all!

Thanks,

Scott

According to her video, it seems Libra has already judged anyone who does not agree with her politics. I'll reserve my judgement of her until I see how she reacts to Dan, since it looks like he will be her adversary in the house.

Those twins must be the best babies in the world.

Mom can leave them for 3 months and dad has time to sit on message boards and read replies about his wife.

Maybe not the best babies in the world, but they still probably take naps.

Do you think that was her husband? Are they allowed to post on message boards?

If Dick's son could post, I'm sure Libra's husband can post.

There is just as much of a chance that it is her husband as not. We have no way of knowing for sure. I don't know of any reason family members would not be allowed to post on message boards.

Honestly, this is why I love Big Brother - these boards, the live feeds, Showtime, Blogs, CBS interviews and commercials, heated analysis on the HG's everymove (even before the show starts!). We even have Libra's "husband" (real or fake) joining in the dialog.

Libra has 136 replies on this thread alone (the most of any guest thus far - Dan/Renny follow in the 90's).

We are solely basing this discussion on what we know about the guests thus far, some may be passing judgement and others commenting on how we might approach a similar situation. I am really looking forward to this Season as I think these people are offering us something a little more than borderline pornography and poor attempts to outDICK EvelDick (that got old fast last Season).

LOVE, LOVE LOVE - the Morty's Board and the people who have joined in thus far - WELCOME BACK TO THE SUMMER OF LOVE (08)!

remember we had Sheilas x on this board last season denying paternity, well one of her xes,lol maybe that was Libras husband, maybe not, I personally do not care, I still have the opinion I have about her leaving the kids to go on a reality show, and I am with Gingersnaps when she says she is not here to fall in love with any houseguests, well I will like some better than others, but I seriously doubt I am gonna love Libra, she already has set me off.

I don't know... I think ppl are being harsh with her for no reason (yet). Maybe she agonized about the decision to do the show but ultimately decided she wanted to show/teach ppl something. I guess I don't see it as all bad when she's leaving her kids in the care of their father. It's not like they won't be without a parent. Often it's the mom who stays home and the dad who is off to work...then comes home from work too tired to really engage or be involved with the parenting. I'm not freaking out because it's not like she's dumping them off with some stranger... and it's not like she's going away for good. She may be gone for a week, a month... who knows. For all we know she may end up leaving the show because she misses them. Or, she could stay long, express her views (which btw...I think it's awesome and about time younger ppl started caring about their country and their future. All too often ppl complain about the country they live in but don't do a damn thing to better it or vote and have a part in what happens to it).

We're all made differently... different things make us tick. Just because she isn't how ppl envision a new mom to be, doesn't mean she isn't a great mom who loves her children.

As for her husband and his sitting down for a moment with himself to check the msg boards... that isn't mind blowing to me either. Now I'm all one for being disgusted at ppl who have children but spend all day on the computer while their kids are in the background screaming, crying, or just wanting some friggen attention. That really grosses me out too and I'll be the one to start the hate/bashing bandwagon on them. But in this case, they're babies! Yes, they need to be cuddled, fed, changed, whatever.. but let's be real here... it's not like they're up all the time or need to be in your arms all the time. Sitting down with yourself to keep your own sanity and checking your email or msg boards doesn't make someone a horrible, neglectful parent.

The community here at mortys is the reason why BB is my favorite reality show. Even after the fiasco of season 9. Just reading everyones different opinions on the hg already is great. The excitement starts days and days before. Now only if we had feeds from when they enter the house.

As for libra I'm not really sure how I feel about her. So far from what I've seen with her I have not yet been able to form an opinion just yet. It will probably come after the show starts. As for her leaving her children for x amount of time really has no impact on me. If she is not the primary care giver of her children and her husband is than its really no different that if the dad was the one to leave for 3 months. I doubt anyone would really think twice about the dad being the one to leave for 3 months.

well if you read back a few pages, everyone says they think if a mother has to serve her country that is acceptable. I do not tink anyone is unreasonable in their opinion, cause that is what it is an opinion, nothing more, and right UPV, lots-o--pages and the show has not even started.lol, I went and looked at Libras video, when she said she was upset leaving her kids she did not sound like it to me anyway, and just because there is a chance to win 500 grand does not mean she will even come close, not sure she will even go that far, but that remains to be seen. Just as it does for all of them,lol,

I watched Renny's video too, not impressed,lol

Also to me it has nothing to do with who is caring for the children, what I am questioning is her ability to leave for 3 months. There is that certain mamma thing that would make it hard to leave the babies so soon, especially to go to a tv show, I could not do it, and I know there are lots of us gals that could not, I questions whether she has that gene, that's all,lol

exactly fatcat ~ all some people are saying is that it shows a lot about her character.

Leaving 4 month old twins and a 4 year old toddler to be on a reality show? wha??

She may be beautiful and nice and a good person but in my book she is not a good mother. miscgifsetc510.gif

MOST people who ( including myself ) are basing their surprise at a mother leaving her very small children on NORMAL intense MATERNAL instincts.

That is NOT to say father's don't love their children.

That is NOT to say they don't provide good care in the mothers absence.

We're talking NORMAL maternal instincts. Clearly there are SOME women who don't feel it as strongly despite becoming a mother. What causes that i don't know. Google it.

Personally being forced to seperate from your babies is completely different than voluntarily leaving them.

Libra was not forced. So common sense tells most people she's probably one of the women who are in a lower percentage that don't have that STRONG maternal instinct. I'll even get those who want to know more started.

I think that leaving your kids to go on BB is the same as leaving your kids to go to war. Whatever the reason, you're leaving your kids. But honestly... I dont think its that big of a deal. While it IS important and better if your there, I think she must figure it will be better to take this opportunity so she can try to win the money to pay for her kids college and whatever else. I dont see it as wrong to think of their future as more important than their present. It may be hard for her to leave her kids (we'll see!) but I am sure they are in loving hands and she knows that too!! And it's definitely not like they wont know her when she gets back. So thats my piece on it all.

So in sum, it may be crappy but may be worth it in the long run. :)

Let's see... she lives in a beautiful house in an upscale neighborhood so she must not be hurting for money. She is the breadwinner in her home and her husband doesn't work. She is leaving a good job to get paid a stipend that I bet is not as much as what she makes at her good job. So she is taking money away from her household taking a mother away from her children. Yep to be on a reality show.

I think if they are honest all of them are there for their 15 minutes of fame.

Most all mother's that are serving in the military are ones that were in the national guard and never thought they would have to leave their families but got called to duty.

Starry Night - Don't take this wrong, and it's just a curiousity thing, but are you a mom? I guess my mom instincts were pretty strong, because I would have never considered leaving my babies unless I was forced to (and then I would have gone kicking and screaming). Not judging Libra so much, just saying what it is like from my perspective. But like someone else already said, it might say a lot about her character and her "mom instincts". As for their future being more important - there are a lot of years left (18 or so) for her to save for their college, so I don't see that as a valid reason.
