11 Ways Being A Parent Is Exactly Like Being A Celebrity

People who think celebrities have it MADE, clearly have not thought about the hardship these people go though in their day-to-day lives. I mean; celebrities have to deal with constant pressure to perform, crazed and intrusive fans, a calendar that fills up with engagements and must-attend events quicker than you can utter the words "need a day off". It must be exhausting. You know; kind of, a little bit, sort of, just like being a parent, no?! No, seriously, I am not crazy. Hear me out here. I swear being a super-star celebrity and being a parent is exactly the same thing: 1. Someone is always pulling at you Boundaries, people! 2. Everyone wants your attention All. The. Time. I know! It's exhausting being that person the universe revolves around! 3. Crazy fans follow you to the bathroom Seriously, you creeps; let me pee in peace. 4. If you say something you wish you could take back, prepare to have it repeated to you for all eternity "Clearly, what I really meant, was...." 5. Someone is always screaming your name See point #2 above.... 6. You are permanently that little bit out of touch with reality ISIS? Cheryl Whatshername? Sorry; I have places to go (creche, mostly. Or Tesco) and people to see (doctor, dentist, the dry-cleaners...) 7. You can't go anywhere without a full entourage Invited somewhere? My crew comes too. 8. Sometimes there is a different person in your bed every night. Sometimes even two When you're popular, you're popular. What can I say... 9. You never arrive on time for anything, ever Eh, the traffic.... the au pair... (*blames everyone else) 10.
