Student questions celebrity parenting
January 3, 2017
Both fame and children come with many responsibilities. When they’re combined, a lot of pressure is put on the celebrities and parents.
With tons of pressure on famous parents, it’s understandable when they crack and sometimes make some questionable choices for their children. Some celebrities take fame and parenthood, well, like Angelina Jolie, but others don’t take it as well such as Farrah Abraham.
Jolie is a well-known actress who has starred in films such as “Maleficent” and “By the Sea.” Jolie’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is a good model for how celebrity parents and even regular parents should allow their children to act. Jolie’s daughter is allowed to pursue her interests such as photography and also allowed to express herself however she chooses, like with clothing and hairstyles. She isn’t affected by her parents being famous, as it should be for any child.
With recent happenings between Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, people are wondering about Dream Kardashian, their daughter, and what will happen. After Chyna up and left Rob with the baby and the entire nursery, everyone is wondering what’s going to happen to the baby and also their relationship. Things like this happen to normal people, but when fame and a huge media presence is added everything is blown out of proportion and everyone follows the first thing said, whether it’s true or not. Just like all of the Kardashians, Dream is going to be affected by her family’s fame for the rest of her life, so who knows how she will deal with the pressure from it? Hopefully, her parents will let her be a kid and not pressure her into her family’s fame.
While media makes everything more dramatic and exaggerated, celebrity parents are still parents; they’re going to make some mistakes, but they shouldn’t let that fame keep them from being parents.
