Michael Jackson's Kids Coping Without Dad

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 21st 2010 08:59AM

While tears most certainly flowed on Father's Day from Michael Jackson's three children, sources tell me the children might actually have a more normal life without daddy. How is that possible, you might ask? Consider the whirlwind and erratic life they led while Michael was still alive, and the more structured lifestyle they lead now.

"Even before Michael died, the children spent most of their time with their grandmother, Katherine," a Jackson insider tells me.

"Katherine's house was the only time they ever got any normality in their lives. With bedtime rules, regular school tutors and being taught to say 'please' and 'thank you.' In contrast, when the children were with Michael, they could stay up as late as they wanted, regularly skipped school and were forced to wear those silly masks to protect their identity. Finally, a year after his death, his children are thriving in a safe environment with lots of rules."

There is no doubt that all three children miss their daddy -- especially his daughter Paris, who Katherine Jackson says has turned her bedroom into a shrine to her father and made him a Father's Day card. The children will now be going to a regular school this September for the first time in their lives and will learn how to play with other kids.

Having the King of Pop as your father couldn't have been easy, especially for three young children who, like all kids, need boundaries as well as love ... even if your dad is the biggest superstar in the world.

And he killed himself while they were in the house. His room was full of drugs and he had no problem using them.

Those kids would not be as normal as they are today if they have not being for the great father they had in Michael. We called him strange because he tried to keep his kids safe, away from the curiosity of all of us. He might have being a wierd person to the world but he showed he knew how to be a great father and how to raise 3 or 4 normal, excellent kids who love him so much in return. Stop throwing dirt on Michael. He was the world's greatest entertainer and a loving father so many people in the world would wish they could have had.

That's an excellent point!! I think AOL should do a story about it!

By ilcitygal424

I do not believe they should go to public schools. I feel they would be in danger there. They need to be protected. And have security.

It's far better that these kids cope without dad than copulate with dad!
