NANA SAYS DO FAMOUS PEOPLE MAKE BETTER PARENTS?

Do famous people make better parents? Does someone with some celebrity have to give advice about everything to do with children? Like one person and her views about no vaccinations to babies! Why do people even listen to them? Your grandmother, auntie and mother have the wisdom of the ages! Technology has changed but not women's bodies nor babies! There is little that each new generation can change! Oh yes there are stimulating mobiles and toys but if one looks at anyone's baby pictures, mothers from other times had stimulating items around and with baby. Besides your voice and face give a lot of credence to the little one. The lessons-well other generations took their children to lessons too! Or exposed their children to many different environments. I learnt to paddle a canoe at age 3 and had my first pair of skates around the same time. Yes there can be different discipline styles- maybe! Every parent gets tired of whines, cries and little people's demands at times-famous or otherwise. The difference is the amount of money-rich people can afford nannies and housekeepers so have the time for just quality time! What about the rest of the hard work? So what do you think! Should we listen to the unsolicited advice of famous people and their attempt to reinvent parenthood?

  1. Famous people do not have any special wisdom about raising kids. In fact, many of them have no common sense at all. Every day we seem to hear of some celebrity making absurd statements about vaccinations, food, vitamins, health care, etc. All of not worth a pinch of coon shit!
