Madonna is letting estranged hubby Guy Ritchie see their kids – but only if he follows her rules.
Ritchie was reunited with sons Rocco and David at a London airport today, but not before the Material Mom imposed a strict list of demands on the visit, according to the London Daily Mail.
The list reportedly includes a ban on TV, non-organic food, and any clothes not sent by her. Madonna also mandated that the kids only drink Kabbalah water and should not be bought toys which are spiritually or ethically unsound.

After weeks of separation, Ritchie was photographed at Gatwick Airport in London earlier today embracing Rocco, 8 and David, 3. The two have barely seen their father since Guy and Madonna announced their plans for divorce in October.
“Both he and David were smiling. Guy literally threw his coffee aside to free up his hands and run over,” an onlooker told the Daily Mail. “You could tell they were all so excited to see each other.”
Madonna’s list of rules is the latest barb in what is quickly becoming a nasty public divorce between the two.
Rumors that the couple were having problems spread after Madonna was seen hanging out with Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez months ago. Then, in July, came A-Rod’s split from his wife, Cynthia, who said the Kabbalah-loving singer had “brainwashed” her husband.
Despite the rumors, Ritchie and Madonna continued to make public appearances and reportedly tried to patch things up by taking an intensive, two-week Kabbalah course to help save the marriage. But A-Rod’s continuing presence was apparently too intrusive and the couple split in mid-October.
Ritchie was reportedly reduced to tears after seeing a photo of Rocco at a New York playground wearing a Yankees T-shirt just days after the split was made public.
The estranged couple, who were married for almost eight years, have yet to come to an agreement over the custody of the children.
Last week the British-born Ritchie hired a top lawyer in his battle with Madonna over where their children should live. Madonna reportedly wants to permanently move back to the US with both sons, but won’t be able to unless she either gets permission from Ritchie or an English court grants custody.
These aren’t the first rules that Madonna has imposed on Ritchie. In late October, Britain’s Sun newspaper reported that Madonna had posted a marriage contract list for Guy during their time together that included a promise to “enrich” his wife’s “emotional and spiritual well-being” and that the couple had to devote time to their “sexual expressiveness” but couldn’t “use sex as a stick to beat one another.”
Madonna, 50, has been busy with her Sticky & Sweet Tour, while Ritchie, 40, has kept himself busy shooting his new film, “Sherlock Holmes,” in London and spending his nights drinking at his pub, the Punch Bowl.
