Millions of women go through divorces without partying and doing drugs with their daughters.
There seems to be two kinds of celeb moms making news these days.
There is the rash of celebrity mamas saddled up on their high horses and running roughshod over the plebian moms across the nation such as myself, and then there are the other mamas, clubbing with kids and acting younger than their children..
The former group of prententious parents are constantly spouting off about their superior skills and their precocious progeny with transparent humble brags designed to make the rest of us feel like Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest, while the latter group are taking parenthood to extremes that send eyebrows skyward.
Now look, I’m not trying to be a celeb hating douchebag, because I’m really not! I am a bit of an idiot savant about all things celebrity. Go ahead, quiz me! Give me quotes and ask which celeb said it. Ask me who dated who ten years ago and I’m all over it! I retain celebrity gossip like Warren Buffet retains Benjamin Franklins. I’m a sucker for this stuff.
But, now that I’m a mama, the celeb moms who are either constantly yammering about how much weight they lost two weeks after giving birth, how brilliant their children are or how UH-mazing parenting is drive me nuts! I actually prefer the moms behaving badly (like Courtney Love) to the supercilious likes of Gisele and Gwyneth.
Come on gals! Get over yourselves and, in the process, cut the rest of us some slack. You’re beautiful and make millions, can’t you stop the LIFE-IS-SO-AMAZING show for two seconds and be real? I think my Strollerderby colleague Carolyn Castiglia said it best in her article, Go Away Gwyneth. You’re Ruining Everything For Everybody. I second that emotion for Gisele.
So yeah, here, in no particular order are the top 10 annoying, condescending and badly behaved celeb mamas in the news. Disagree? Agree? Why or why not? Who is your least favorite celeb mom making headlines?
