The Stay at Home Mother

Ok - I am hardly one to be considered a star gazer or one who dwells on the lives of celebrities. However, this particular celebrity, who has been so vocal on the importance of children, is now doing what I consider to be a 180 degree turn.

She just recently adopted another child and vowed that she wanted to be a Stay at Home Mom for her chidren to ensure that they receive all the love and attention that she can provide for them. However, less than a week later, she signed on to star in an action movie called "Wanted" that's set to go into production at the end of April.

She was just in Vietnam picking up her newly adopted son Pax, and told reporters the following:

"I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life," she said. "I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment."

So that calculates out to exactly one month of bonding before she goes to work on her movie. That's plenty of time to bond with a new child and have them feel comfortable with you, right? Also add in the language barrier, new surroundings, new people and it is a great situation for a child who could really care a less about her name or fame and is really just wanting a loving parent in his life.

And as a "REAL STAY AT HOME MOM", I do not consider her a true one or one that really cares about her children. It is a PR thing sadly enough, that promotes her as one thing, when she is very obviously another.

Her focus in clearly on her career, and I have no problem with that - But just be honest about it, instead of hiding behind the image of a doting mother and passing them off to the nanny, when the paparrazi are gone.
