Let’s talk about celebrities and motherhood! I read a headline on a story from earlier this year about Katie Holmes and motherhood. Here’s the headline, “Katie Holmes Has No Trouble Balancing Motherhood And A Career”
It sounds almost crazy. I don’t care who you are — if you are a mother, it’s hard to do everything that you want to do. It’s great that Katie seems to have figured this out, but I don’t think that it’s true for most people.
Later in the article she is asked point blank about balancing her career with motherhood.
IS IT HARD TO BALANCE MOTHERHOOD WITH A CAREER?
No, not at all. It’s fun. I find it exciting.”
I wonder if she would be able to say the same thing if she weren’t famous or rich. I just feel like this comment is a slap in the face to the millions of mothers out there who work a traditional full-time job, for traditional wages and do find it hard to balance everything.

Ha! There’s no comparison, really! I think the author was just mocking her – I mean, come on… if you had a housekeeper, a landscaper, a chef whenever you want it, a “someone” for anything that stresses you, and you never had to worry about getting everything done — and you had zero financial concerns (meaning, you can work “whenever” you really want to)… how much more fun would you be having????

Not more rumours regarding Katie Holmes being pregnant! Simply because she is sporting baggy clothes might merely signify that she desires to feel comfortable.
