Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

External Image

Jennifer Lopez is taking the mom thing very, very seriously.

People around La Lopez think she might be taking things a bit too far…except of course, Marc Anthony, who supposedly agrees with everything she wants.

J. Lo is diva about ever-y-thing!

According to inside reports, the couple has hired SIX new bodyguards for the twins. They have two baby bouncers for each eight-hour shift around the clock.

Cost? Approximately $600,000, not including the cost of benefits.

They've also invested in closed-circuit cameras for almost every room in their many homes.

Also, peeps with grubby hands better stay far away from JLo's babies! According to a family source, she's become a germaphobe. There are dispensers of hygienic cleanser strategically placed all around her homes. People are instructed to basically scrub before they come close to her precious ones. And, we kid you not, there was a purchase of what's being called 'a lifetime supply' of surgical masks because anyone coming in contact with the twins must put one of the things on.

I don't think it's "that" out of control....except the body-guards.

The closed circuit security cameras - not a big deal and should've been done BEFORE...

The germs - hand sanitizer - it's a given - they're newborns...

The surgicial masks - a little "out" there, but hey...she's protecting the kids...and honestly, she's a first-time mother!

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

this is going down the Michael Jackson route. I hope she doesn't make her kids wear something over their faces.

Hopefully, she'll calm down.

I think the only thing that is out there is the surgical masks. She has hired body guards b/c everyone wants a piece of her. Most new moms do become germaphobic!

I don't see why this is considered crazy behavior. I'm sure it's 2 or 3 shifts of bodyguards, not 6 at once. Her kids are more likely to be kidnapped for ransom than mine are, but I have every door and window to my house alarmed and I keep it set when I'm home.

I had hand sanitizer all over the house when I brought my kids home. And I had people offer to wear surgical masks around the kids when they were first born. I turned them down, but it's not unheard of.

I didn't have help, but if I had a nanny or baby nurse I would have installed nanny cams.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

I see nothing wrong with anything she did.

She is a target as a celebrity. I was a germophobe and even worse now with DS. If she has a bunch of people coming from the outside, exposed to their own kids, I could understand the masks. For family and friends, it might be a bit much. But hey, that's her kids. Newborns cannot be exposed to germs. We also don't know the health of her children.

If I had the means I would do the same - sans the masks.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

I say it's all good except the surgical masks. I think it's a bit over the top unless the people who are around the twins are sick or if the twins have a cold. She waited so long to be mommy and i'm sure she's just scared and trying to be careful.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

She's got more security than some heads of state...what a crazy nut.

Ya know she's gotta have the bulletproof SUV already...because someone must've ordered a jihad on J-Lo Chat Icon

Why not just build a sterile fortress and never leave it? Does she even work anymore?

And how long does she plan to keep this up...till the kids are in college?

Wouldn't a mother be with her newborns all the time anyway? Is someone gonna snatch these kids from her grasp? Or is that not in the Diva's Guide to Motherhood?

I was thinking the same way. Aren't they with their babies all the time? i just think it's over the top.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

After having a baby in the NICU, I can sympathize with the hand sterilizer issue. However, that stuff can do more harm then good. Plain old soap and hot water is better and does more then hand sanitizer.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

I dont think this sounds too crazy- even the surgical mask part-

I know a lot of moms of babies who were born in winter months that
either would
not allow ANYONE near their baby
or would insist that they wear surgical masks.

There were rumors about her being a total diva, control freak before the babies so I can only imagine that this would get worse with babies now in the picture.

While ago I met someone who used to work for her, she said JLO is such control freak and a diva that she comes off as little crazy, that she is not a" Jenny on the block" at all.
Who knows , she could be the nicest person in the world and non of this could be true , but I guess we'll never know, the fact is that she has more money than most of us will make in our liftime and if she wants to act crazy and be over the top, god bless her.

As someone who's 2 week old newborn got sick & had to be hospitalized for four days, I don't think the germ thing is out of control at all.

As for the body guards, I can see why she would want additional security. I don't know if six new ones is unreasonable. Also mathwise, it's one bodyguard per kid for 8 hours.

Re: Jennifer Lopez is serious about her kids...

I have to say, I don't see the bodyguard thing as that crazy. She's definitely a target for kidnapping, and if I were her I'd be worried and super precautious too.

That's what I am thinking. Who knows if this is a permanent thing or just a temporary thing since the babies are new and EVERYONE wants to see the cuties. I don't see it as so crazy.

same here! - it is her money and she pays for it all so it doesn't bother me. also, god only KNOWS the kind of crazy letters she may have gotten or whispers of different threats to her and the newborns security - i'm sure there are tons of scary things that happen that we don't know about so that could be why the BGs are present.
