All I Want For Christmas...is for Barron to smile

[Compost]

It seems to me, staring at Barron, longing to see him smile is rather creepy.

Figures you'd see it that way.

LOL I'm not surprized that you long to micro manage what a child you don't know is doing with his own face.

 

[easyt65]

You think his unhappiness is all because of the political mud slinging? I don't think so.

I don't think so, either...but I do believe ALL of us could do with a little more civility, peace on earth, and good will to man (and woman).

 

[strollingbones]

ahhh looking back on how my son was at that age.....being in public with his mother.....o please.....looking at a stupid tree when you could be playing video games or looking at porn....o please....boys are odd at that age....

I feel so bad for that kid.

I too.

a new school

I'm surprised the Trumps chose St. Andrews. It's a fine school, but there's a very good chance the poor boy will have to change schools yet again in four years (or less), unless his parents opt to take up residence in the D.C. area after Trump's term ends. If Trump wins a second term, that won't matter; however, given Trump's intransigence, the prospects for him doing so are less rosy, at least right now, than were those of any of his recent predecessors. On the other hand, his father's foul character may have something to do with why they didn't enroll him in a school (D.E. area or otherwise) that wouldn't have necessitated his transferring if his parents weren't of a mind to temporarily reside nearby.

St. Andrews is a residential school, yes? Barron stays there during term?

I believe the one he's attending is the one in Potomac, MD. If so, it's not a boarding school.

• St. Andrew's Episcopal School | Home

The one in Delaware is residential. It too is excellent.

As for the Episcopal schools I thought the Trump may have chosen, all of them offer boarding.

• St. Albans -- About15 minutes from the WH.
• Any of the "St. Grottlesex" schools
  • St. Paul's
  • St. Mark's
  • St. George's
  • Groton
  • Middlesex
• Episcopal (VA) -- About 15-20 minutes minutes from the WH.

Admittedly, I may be somewhat biased. I'm a "St. Grottlesex" alum, as were/are my father, uncles and grandfather. Most of my kids are too, though they all went to St. Alban's for middle school. St. Alban's is a fine school too, but I wanted my kids to grow up in a quiet bucolic setting. Nostalgia, as one might expect, also played a role, which it wouldn't have but for all the schools we considered being excellent.

I think the media refuses to publish pictures of Barron smiling on purpose....so they can generate fake stories about the boy being ill, retarded, or unhappy.

They'll eventually claim he hates his evil father of course.....

Daddy. Can I get a dress from Adami for Christmas ? A nice blue one ?

You are such a smug bitch. Only YOU would consider my concern to be that ^^^^^ mess of horseshit.

I'm quite sure I heard in passing when he first arrived in D.C. that he was attending the residential school. Maybe the newspeople got it confused since there are two.

You might want to open your mind to the likelihood that your "concern" is a mess of horseshit.

I saw the arrival of the White House Christmas tree yesterday--a beauty of a 20-foot fir that arrived in a horse drawn wagon with a little brass band playing O Tannenbaum. Melania and Barron came out to inspect it.

I'm worried about Barron. He looked a little peaked and he was thoroughly miserable. Never cracked so much as a smile although everyone else was smiling like idiots, because--well, the tree is always something to smile about, isn't it?

Barron looked pale and a little thinner and like I said, miserable. Barron seemed pretty chipper at the Inaugural Parade. He's not weathering this experience very well. I feel so bad for that kid. Hard few months with moving, a new school, all the restrictions on him as First Child. Although I remember my son at that agent ford , and smiling was not a cool thing to do, he wasn't stone cold depressed all the time.

I wish someone could bring a smile to that kid's face. The holidays are coming.

He does look like he lost his best friend

I’m sure your faux sympathy is not required - and it’s not a good cover for picking on a child. Shame on you!

It’s just another way at getting in a dig at the Trumps - whilst feigning concern.

 

[rightwinger]

Barron does seem to be a socially awkward child

I've never agreed with the way you pick on that kid, RW, with your pet notion that he's autistic. He looks PEAKED, not diagnosable.

I’m thinking Auspergers syndrome

He has all the indicators

 

[OldLady]

Damn, I hate this place sometimes. Showing concern for anyone/anything is verboten. I didn't put this in the flame zone for a reason. So STFU.

I purposely did a google image search for different snapshots of that event and in every single one of them the kid looked miserable. No offfense, but I wasn't sure if you were pulling a fast one. After all, you always have that 'I just pooped on your rug' look on your face.

But, nope. Not one picture of the boy looking in any way happy in all of the different photos of the moment.

Then again, he likely already has everything he wants, too.

That's possible. I'm not sure, but I think the two are connected somehow. I do know it's not geographically. The St. Andrews in DE is not at all close to the one in Potomac, MD or the WH. LOL

Apparently a bunch of liberals were attacking his mom on twitter. They were a nasty bunch, too. Probably hurts the kid's feelings.

Yes it is.
