starlover · 09/05/2006 15:35

well then why doesn't she spend more time with the kids???

it's not like sh eneeds the money!

expatinscotland · 09/05/2006 15:36

b/c, starlover, she's an artiste. [rolls eyes]. i never understood the whole madonna thing.

puddle · 09/05/2006 15:36

I often think that.

You know, 'Oh God, I just want to be an artist'.

And you know, it IS hard.

starlover · 09/05/2006 15:39

oooooh is that what it is? lol

yes it must be very difficult for her, what with being a millionaire and never having to do anything for herself! poor woman

yeahinaminute · 09/05/2006 16:21

Daft (millionaire) tart !! Grin

The only type of artist I wuold like to be is a PISS one!!!

I hate people like her - does she think the music she has created is better than what she could be giving her children by spending more time with them!!!

Shall we have a whip-round and buy her a torch? She'll need it to find her way out from up her own @rse...

Callisto · 11/05/2006 16:49

Did anyone really think she would be a good mother? Celebs are far too self obsessed. She had babies because they were the latest must-have accessory.

sharklet · 12/05/2006 13:36

Hmm "I'm a crap mother but look how great I am" that sounds like an accurate translation!

Greensleeves · 12/05/2006 13:36

..slag.

Bugsy2 · 12/05/2006 13:58

I'm obviously in the minority here because I think she is amazing. I don't like all the stuff she has done, but I think she is an outstanding example of a successful, clever woman who has used a small amount of talent to take her very, very far.
Aren't we all a bit conflicted about motherhood sometimes? Work, home, time with friends / partners etc. There can't be many of us who don't sometimes wonder if they should be doing something else!

satine · 12/05/2006 14:06

Actually, I can empathise a little - when I'm at home day in day out with the kids, I think "Oh, I'd love to get some glam freelance work in London or somewhere" and then when a job does come up, I'm frantic to get back to the kids!

monkeytrousers · 12/05/2006 14:09

Divorce announcement pending - she's trying to soften the blow for us bless her..

hermykne · 12/05/2006 14:09

she has it all does she "really" need to keep her career as busy as it may have been.

beety · 12/05/2006 14:11

i like here to. Leave the woman alone

hermykne · 12/05/2006 14:30

i like her too and her music but shes making silly comments that people wont believe

fuzzywuzzy · 12/05/2006 14:32

I think MT might be right, poor her and her kids. Don't particuarly like or dislike her tbh.

Kathy1972 · 12/05/2006 14:33

Don't feel strongly about her one way or the other but I like the fact that she's admitting that she finds it difficult, instead of making out that working motherhood is a breeze and she's a perfect mum like so many other celeb mums do. Not quite sure why people are getting at her on this thread - this seems to me to be among the least annoying things Madonna has said Smile

bosscat · 12/05/2006 14:49

can you really be classed as a working mother if you have 2 full time nannies, a chef, a stylist, a driver, make up artist etc etc. I read an article when she said she had never once changed a nappy. As a 4 day a week working mother myself, I find it a little hard to relate!

gift · 12/05/2006 15:02

She sounds like a pretty honest normal person to me.
Apart from the fame and extreme wealth.She is like any other working mum.Sometimes torn between family and work.That can make one feel 'crap'.
'With all that money she doesn't need to work'... come on... If your job is part of who you are and you love it.It would be like giving up a part of yourself.And to be a great mum you don't have to do that.And we all know 'whole' people/mummies are healthier to be around.I am sure she is not a crap mum.I am sure she juggles just fine.
PS.Crap mums...Great mums...Super mums..mmmm..Which are you? Smile
One more thing.I just learned that the article was in the tabloid newspaper The Mirror.Now thats a 'crap' news paper!

Greensleeves · 12/05/2006 15:04

"She is like any other working mum"

She has two children and has NEVER changed a nappy.

Um.

gift · 12/05/2006 15:14

Any other working mum torn between family and work i said.
