The Comfort Rooms

My Favorite Celebrity Moms And Dads

I know parents are supposed to be amazing like how Mom and Dad have always been, but there are just parents who, according to a third-person point of view, doesn't quite seem to fit into that tag. I know they must be loving their kids unconditionally but it doesn't mean that what they are doing would always seem right. Parents do err of course, but there will always be a draw line between great and awful parents. Here's how my listing goes.

Let's start with Kevin Federline. The erstwhile boytoy now overweight ex-husband of Britney Spears. He once tried his luck as a rapper but that didn't quite worked out. He was a pain in the a*s by the way.

Why he got into my listing? Cos I don't think he has showed enough to be considered a great dad. He's got custody over his and Britney's kids. He receives monthly support coming from his wife. Of course, he's got the pop superstar's kids. There's no way they wouldn't be showered with a whole lot of cash.

But imagine how much he has gained weight since the divorce, the child custody battle, etc. A ordinary individual like me would be quick to think that all Kevin did all these years was to wait for the support and absolutely do nothing to be productive. He's on a celebrity weight loss show now. Obviously, he gets talent fee from their. Can't he just be more a responsible father?

Next parent is Marlene Aguilar. She is the mother of Jason Ivler, one of the most controversial real-life villains the Philippines has seen in years. Of course nothing beats the Ampatuans in that respect.

I think Marlene is kind of crazy. I know she loves her son but I thought she could have surrendered him instead. For some reason, I think she is loving the attention she's receiving. Since she is also a book writer, any publicity is good publicity for her.

Then we got Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild. He was then known as a teenage father who was inloved with his teenage girlfriend. I thought the story could have ended there until we started hearing him talk negatively of the Palins. I don't know what the real score was and I wouldn't wanna know either. I thought it was just a ploy for him to prolong his 15 minutes of fame.

However, this attention-whorism does not stop from there as he was soon appearing on Playgirl in the nude. He appeared on the magazine twice, the media salivated on his racy photos, and all the brouhaha made Levi the newest beefcake to hit town. Talk about extending one's media mileage.

I know there are a lot more who needs to be included. Like the parents of balloon boy. But I'm too lazy to write a few more. Bye and thanks for reading. Sorry for the bad ending though.
