Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Celebrity Parents Have it Harder?

MisterSteve
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner wasted no time pumping out a kid. It's fairly evident they aren't having too many problems if your having kids all the time. The only problem this couple might have is overexposure and loss of privacy. After all, these are two of the most famous actors in the world. Ben Affleck has appeared in several hit movies such as the movie he did with Jason Bourne about hunting and Jennifer Garner is famous for being so hot people go blind when looking directly at her. Which is a better story than that whole Daredevil movie with Kevin Smith.

Apparently, when you're so famous that your children are famous before they are born, there is a lot of speculation as to what kind of parent you might be. Parenting is hard for anyone, let alone super famous celebrities who have so much to do, what with all the long hours counting their money and cackling and all. How much pressure is on this ultra celebrity family? How can the average parent relate to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner? They probably beat their children with imported silk.

But at heart, being a parent requires universal skills, such as nagging, belittling and humiliating the child, or teaching it sports in case it isn't beautiful enough to become an actor. But when the parenting duties are compounded by the heavy hand of celebrity, the workload gets to be a burden. On top of the normal duties associated with parenting, the celebrity parent has many additional responsibilities.

Besides destroying the child's self esteem and sense of worth and other mundane parenting duties, the famous celebrity parent must also provide security for the child, as well as sitters and nannies for when the famous actors are in Uguandastan saving pygmies from the evil voodoo capitalist power, or out building shelters for the people who have gone blind looking at Jennifer Garner. Celebrity parents must insure that their children get the best possible education, so that when they are adults, they can party with really sophisticated people. It's also important to make sure that they don't grow up to stab anyone and have to hire Johnny Cochrane to rhyme your defense. Johnny Cochrane is a lot more expensive now because he's dead, lawyers in the afterlife are in huge demand.

The true test of celebrity parents like Benjiffer is if the wife can stay hot after popping out a bunch of kids. Nothing would be more criminal than to lose Jennifer Garner's smoking body. The entire world would suffer a tremendous loss. Even the blind people agree.
