Us magazine says that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are using strict Scientology guidelines to raise their daughter Suri, and that dictates everything from the way she was nursed to the way she's disciplined and even what friends she's allowed to have. Us magazine says:
Suri — who as a baby was breastfed and nursed on a mixture of barley water, milk and corn syrup which Hubbard advocated as being healthier than formula and breast milk — is too young to take classes at the Scientology Centre, the 18-month-old is constantly surrounded by believers, including her two nannies.“Tom doesn’t like associating with people who aren’t Scientologists,” says an insider.Additionally, Holmes, 28, and Cruise, 45, have a hard time saying no to Suri. But it’s not simply because they’re pushovers.Cruise and Holmes, says their pal, are very lenient and do not like to give Suri too many rules: “Suri pretty much does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. If she fusses before bed, they let her stay up later. If they want her to go swimming and she cries, they’ll take her out. If she whines about food, they’ll ask her what else she wants to eat. They always want to please her.”
It's amazing they even allowed barley and milk into her formula. I thought it would just be some bright red liquid with fog coming off the top. And the nanny is a guy in a 1950's robot costume, with the big silver barrel chest and clamps for hands and a red light bulb for a nose. That's how you raise kids god dammit. Nice and crazy.
