Is there anything worse than hearing celebrity moms and CEOs complain about how difficult motherhood is? Of course there is – but I’m a fan of hyperbole, so I’m going to go with that intro anyway.
Kate Winslet reminded us all how awesome she is this week by pointing out that celebrity moms have no business complaining about motherhood. She said, in an interview with Marie Claire:
“We’ve heard a lot from actresses recently about how difficult it is, but we should never be saying that it’s difficult because we are so bloody lucky. It’s just not an OK thing to share. It’s always a juggle, but isn’t it for every working mother?”Yes, it is. And it’s refreshing for someone with money and resources to basically admit that money and resources makes it easier.I’m not saying rich and/or famous mothers aren’t going to royally screw up their children just like the rest of us and don’t need to worry. All I’m saying is, don’t be surprised if the rest of us who don’t have those resources want to punch you in the face when you start complaining about how difficult it all is. There is a hierarchy to this. Someone who has it way worse than me is totally entitled to tell me to STFU, too.
