I don’t know about you, but I find celebrity moms to be, for the most part, insufferable. They don’t seem relatable to me on any level. They have trainers and nannies and cleaning ladies and paid STAFF to help them. And, they’re wealthy. So pretty much I feel like they have it made and I cannot relate to them in any way … and I feel a little angry inside when one of them participates in an interview and talks about how difficult motherhood can be. I wrinkle my nose and think judgy thoughts such as, “You don’t KNOW difficult, bitch.”
But you know, there are a few celebrity mothers out there who do seem down-to-earth. Frazzled and mismatched and rumpled – like maybe, just MAYBE, they might do it all without a nanny. They seem real. Here is my collection of 2012’s Most Relatable Celebrity Moms:
1. Drew Barrymore. She is forever childlike, yet seems to finally be growing up now that she is a mother to daughter Olive.
2. Jennifer Garner. She looks like a normal (albeit perfect-looking) person and she always seems to be taking her girls somewhere without an entourage. Also, I saw a picture of her recently where her holey granny underwear was sticking out of her pants.
3. Tina Fey. She is simply, amazingly, self-deprecatingly awesome.
4. Alyson Hannigan. She doesn’t even look like a celebrity when she’s with her daughter. She just looks happy.
5. Pink. You can tell that she LOVES being a mom, and she totally rocks it.
I hope these women continue to enjoy motherhood and personal success, because they’re wearing them well!
