This article emphasizes how celebrity moms are praised for having children, while moms on welfare are stereotyped in a negative aspect. It summarizes by basically saying that celebrity moms make motherhood look like the best achievement a woman can have, and that this isn't fair for the women on welfare? That is what I got from this article at least, and I have to ask, why is a lower-class woman looking at a celebrity and thinking her experience with having children is going to be exactly the same. Celebrities can have children, while having the luxury of a personal trainer, chef, shopper, spa, etc. I just don't think it is the celebrities/medias fault for praising about having a baby. We should be smart enough to know if we are financially and mentally stable enough to have children.
I understand a woman with a child maybe having to go on welfare during a rough patch, but what about the women that are on it and continue to have children to stay on it?
