Nicole Kidman: "My Kids Don't Call Me Mom"

I don't even remember the last time I saw Nicole Kidman with her two adopted children, Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12. Apparently her kids don't remember seeing her much either.

Kidman says her children refuse to call her 'Mom,' and she doesn't see them much because they enjoy living in Los Angeles with Tom.

She told UK TV show 'GMTV': "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."

Kidman also confessed her annoyance at her kids being raised as Scientologists. She said: 'Yes, they're being raised as Scientologists. I don't want to go there.

"My daughter and son, their life is molded by the way I live. If I wasn't willing to take on that responsibility, I shouldn't have adopted them. Then it can be argued that I should never have divorced, and that's true, too, but sometimes you don't have a decision in that. People fall out of love, they do.

'When children are teenagers, they have a say in where they want to be. Los Angeles is a big draw, and I'm looking to get a place there so we can share more.'

Imagine being adopted by Nicole and Tom, that's as cool as being adopted by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

My question is, why does she constantly refer to her kids as "adopted" I mean they obviously know they are, and it's constantly brought up. No kid wants to be reminded that they are adopted, it doesn't make them feel like they belong in the family. Kids come first, sex life second, obviously that didn't equal into the deal there. I feel bad for the kids, not only do they probably not know who they really are, but they've been abandoned by their biological parents, and have two rather dysfunctional adopted parents, who arn't providing them, with a healthy stable environment. Someone needs to love these kids and make them feel loved as equal and Nicole I don't think is doing that.

I'm so glad that her adopted kids aren't buying the crap that Nicole dishes out. Remember when she was newly divorced AND single? How she said that her kids come first? what a load of crap. What se meant was....my kids come first, ....until I find a man! then I don't care if they fall off the face of te earth. Which is exactly what happened. No good mother moves away from her kids if she doesnt have to. She moved to Tenn. with her Keith,, and then said to the kids, well..you CAN come..........if you really want to............. She didnt want them barging in on her new marriage, Period. She is cold, heartless, and UGLY as shit(she has had face lift,lip plumping injections, hair straightening,air dying, etc. ....extensive work on her teeth(watch the movie DEAD CALM, which was early in her career, an d you will see the difference). And... if anyone thinkks that Keith's almost year in rehab, was because of alcoholism, you are a foool.. He has had a long established drug problem for years and Nicole probably as to employ a baby sitter for him 24/7 to make sure he doesnt use. I can't wait till he falls off the wagon,and they divorce. will be ecstatic

nicole is using and blaming all the sciento for her failure as a mother and wife to tom cruise. she just do whatever she wants then when she dont, she became a drama queen. this women have no respect for others.no wonder tom cruise divorsed her.

Bottom Line: forget about all the sciento. crap- she is their MOM- as their MOM- she should have fought more vigourously for them, she is obviously not destitute! The way she talks about her kids- it's kinda in a detached sort of tone, I cannot imagine talking about my children in that way.- she may be a "good" actress, but her parental responsibility is definitely questionable at best...

Nicole was not keen on the kids being raised as Scientologists either. She wanted them to be exposed to Catholicism as well and Tommy-Boy would not have it."LaLa" is right though about Scientologists not discipling their kids. This is really a shame because kids really do need to have limits and know their limitations as well.Poor Suri will not have a chance, she will be spoiled rotten and when Katie is finally free of Tom, Suri, no doubt will be fed lies as well and have no use for her.It's interesting to me that little by little more things are being exposed by Nicole about the marriage she and T.C. once shared.

It appeared from the beginning of the divorce that she didn't have a shot in hell of keeping those kids with her. Almost seemed like he forced her out of those kids lives. Although I do recall her spending more time with them when he was with penelope - but again that was years ago. You would think that freak religion would teach children how to respect their parents and that would start by calling her MOM. You can tell she is very anti scientology - GOD knows how that marriage lasted as long as it did. She deserves a new family - hopefully she's able to have children, a child that appreciates her and wants to call her Mom. p.s. she does need to do something with those roots - yikes, her hair is looking damaged - roots almost look gray.

i think nicole is too classy for a tell all - she is an actress, not a z-list wanting to make a cheap buck. That being said it would be interesting to know. It is a shame that kids are being torn between their mam and dad, it is nice of her to consider buying a place to be near them. and yeah they probablys hate her because she tells them off (i know i disliked my mam when I was younger because of that) hopefully when they are older and can use their brains they will realise. I'm sure katie holmes would be a good mam to them though, it's tom I'm worried about - lunatic!

If the kids had been raised right they would have NEVER forgotten their mom or replaced her with katie(only has been around for the last 2 years). I really like nicole and wish if she did write a tell all book about what kind of aSshole her ex was.

It's a ahsme because had she 'kept up' with Scientology, I doubt she wouldn't have had more contact with her kids. It's also sad that they don't call her mum. When she tells them off they probably walk away because no one ever does that to them. As for her being all white - she had skin cancer once and so being a red head with fair skin, she did the right thing and covers up in the sun.

Fuck, Nannie, that's your response? That SHE's "an ice block"? Not that she was married to a $cientologist who desperately needs psychiatric medicine that his scam "religion" says he can never take? Unbelievable.

I agree with you la chat. I would like to add that in scientology, they are big on NOT disaplining their children, they call it giving a kid a choice. Like if they do something wrong, they dont scold them, they calmy are encouraged to say "do you think that, that behavior is right"! So those kids are raised into a cult and are far into it. I think nicole should adopt some other kids because conner and isabella are hopeless, they are cultafied and could care less about there mom. Its very sad. NIcole should be more vocal about the cult that is scientology and write a tell all about her marriage to tom and save her children. I bet she doesnt because those scientologists are known to murder people and she would be on their hit list. I wish that scientogoists would wake up and see that they are in an evil cult.

I think their Tom fills their head with lies and stuff about her. I don't really liked how he treated her during their divorce, and I think he's a huge asshole.

10:16AM 11/29/07 Nannie

She is such an ice block.
