Grammy-nominated music legend Phillips Roan built her entire brand on being an open-minded” Midwest Princess” who left behind her spiritual bridge country upbringing to acknowledge the sexuality-obsessed, campy Los Angeles culture. When it comes to marriage, but, she’s when closed-minded as they come.
” All of my friends who have children are in hell”, Roan boldly declared on a new season of the” Phone Her Daddy” radio. ” I don’t know anyone, I actually don’t know anyone who’s, like, content and has kids at this age. ]L ] ike a one-year-old, a three-year-old, four and under, five and under, I don’t, I literally have not met anyone who’s happy, anyone who has, like, light in their eyes, anyone who has slept”.
Roan even expressed shock that someone would choose to have one child, much less four children for as her parents did in their 20s.
” I’m of, why did my parents do that? I’m the oldest of four. My daughter had me at 23″, Roan wondered.
Roan’s great error is assuming that because something is demanding and requires devotion, it isn’t fulfilling or useful. The contrary, however, is accurate.
I didn’t lie and pretend that having children is all rainbow and red ponies. As a new mom, I’m well acquainted with the less attractive aspect of raising small ones. Fortunately, sleepless nights, dirty diapers, nannies, and figuring out how to include a baby in adults ‘ busy schedules are just part of marriage.
People have teenagers because it is fulfilling and joy. Nothing brings more pleasure or personal development than committing to enjoy a little human wholeheartedly. Those first glances, laughs, actions, words, hugs, and another milestones don’t simply melt parents ‘ hearts, they mold them in unfathomable ways.
Statistics claim that children are definitely a gift who enhance the lives of their fathers and mothers by leaps and bounds. Married men and women who have children are the most possible demographic to review being “very content” with their lives. Among women particularly,” the mixture of marriage and parenthood is linked to the biggest pleasure income”.
Having children is moreover good for the nation, which is suffering falling birth costs due to an extremely anti-kid society, Godlessness, spread of abortion and birth control, and possibly even fearmongering about climate change.
Roan gets a little grace for believing lies about parenthood. After all, she chose to immerse herself in the star-studded, media frenzy-filled Hollywood, where love for the hatred of motherhood abounds, over her family-friendly hometown. She doesn’t, however, get to spread her third-party anti-parenthood anecdotes like it’s the gospel truth.
Roan admits that while her childhood friends are “married with children and like, they have their own houses”, she’s not sure” when that’s gonna happen for me”.
” Like, I don’t know when that is realistic, if ever”, she said, claiming that being a lesbian and whether it will “be legal to marry … my wife one day” is her biggest obstacle to marriage and potential parenthood.
Roan will almost certainly face problems if she tries to commission babies with assisted reproductive technology and raise those kids in a fatherless home, which carries significant consequences for children. Roan’s biggest problem when it comes to family, however, is that she’s stuck in the past.
Parenthood has permanently changed the pop star’s friends. Unfortunately, she fails to see that it’s for the better.
” Like, when I go home, I love reminiscing about, like destroying public property with them, and like doing some illegal sh-t, and like literally hating the same b-tches for 15 years. Like we just can’t get over stuff, I will never get over]it ]”, Roan said.
Roan’s Willard, Missouri peers aren’t the public property-destroying, gossiping hooligans she knew and loved. Now, those friends are “f-cking busy”, own houses, and have to hire babysitters so they can come to her concerts. That’s okay. In fact, it’s better for everyone.
Instead of complaining about parenthood to another childless celebrity who fails to grow up ( looking at you Alex Cooper ), Roan should spend more time touching grass — preferably at a park with a playground so that her friends with kids can join. The more exposure Roan has to nuclear families, the better she’ll understand why they are not only desirable, but also essential to human flourishing.
