Celeb Parents: They’re Just Like Us Except Not Really


When you think about it, celeb parents and non-celeb parents have a lot in common, from the way they bounce right back after delivery to the stellar examples they set for their children. Here are more ways celeb parents are just like us except not really.

The Maternity Concierge

Picture 1 of 10

From the moment you learn you’re going to be a parent, the decision-making begins. Where will you give birth? Which stroller should you use? Which is the best brand of nipple-chafe ointment? All parents-to-be grapple with these decisions, unless of course the parents in question are celebrities. For $50-$150 an hour, celebs can pay a Maternity Concierge to do all the dirty work, while ultimately taking all the credit. So you just know every Kardashian will employ one.

About Melissa

Melissa is a full-time-working mother of three who thinks sleep is highly overrated, but only because she doesn't get any. She may be a little bitter about that. When she's not working for the man or trying to figure out why there's an extra kid in her back yard, she spends her free time curled up in the fetal position, mumbling about the laundry pile growing exponentially by the minute and seriously contemplating relocation to a nudist colony.

    OH MY GOD THAT MOON THING WTF

    • MDub2000

      I had nightmares about it last night, and I only posted a picture of it.

      Why is it so ANGRY?

      • MDub2000

        Probably because it had to go on tour with Christina Aguilera. I’d be bitter, too.

       It reminded me of the Simpsons episode where Homer tried to make Bart a clown bed and the resulting terror had Bart rocking, chanting, “Can’t sleep. Clown’ll eat me. Can’t sleep. Clown’ll eat me.”

    I feel like Nick Cage’s son has a lot more issues to worry about than just being named Kal-El…

    Educarers and Elimination Communication?  What the WHAT?!?

      Celeb parent: “I’m going to pick you up now, baby.”
      Celeb baby: “Shut up and just effing do it, mommy.”

    Let’s be honest,  Bear Blu is not the one who is potty-trained here. He’s done a bang-up job potty training his mom though. I don’t know, it may translate to little B-Blu potty training earlier or more easily than otherwise, but if you have to “sense” when your kid is going to poop and airlift him over the toilet, he’s not potty-trained yet.

       Says the dad who is making zero progress on potty-training his daughter.

    I have friends that use EC (elimination control and it really does work) BUT did you read about her pre-chewing and giving him his food mouth to mouth like a baby bird!!!1!   I demand a MamaPop article about this please and thank you.

      Yes, and I was very angry that story broke only AFTER this one went live. Elimination Communication? What about MamaPop Post Communication, ALICIA.

    WTF is that Warhol? I thought it was a dismembered teddy bear at first. And second. And a few times after that.

  • MollyGMartin

    “Elimination Communication?” because she is spewing unbelievable BS?

    We tried EC, but my daughter did’t like it much.  A friend said that she does like doing it part-way by holding the child over the toilet during diaper changes, so that they don’t cycle through two or three diapers in quick succession.

    I’m pretty sure I remember reading an article where someone did the math and came to the conclusion that celebs don’t actually name their kids weird things more often than the rest of us – they just get more attention when they do.  And there’s the part where it’s harder than you’d think to define a weird name – Blue isn’t all that out there if you remember that someone had to be the first person to name their kid Violet and Rose and Ruby and Rusty and so on.
