Main stream media (remember them?) are going nuts reporting the results of a recent ParentDish poll, which found that today's mothers would rather leave their kids with Jennifer Aniston than Angelina Jolie.
Well, duh.
Both women have carefully crafted images. Jennifer's image involves perfectly blown-out hair, minimalist evening dresses, and a glamorous event. Angelina's involves big black sunglasses, multiple diaper bags, and a visit to an orphanage.
Let's say an unexpected errand came up and you needed to leave little Kevin with one of them. Which would you ask to babysit, this one:
or this one?
OK, maybe Jen's being a bit too minimalist here. But at least you know she'd have one hand for the diaper bag and one hand for little Kevin. Angie and Brad would totally leave for the airport with little Kevin still asleep in the attic.
That's right, ParentDish. We've seen Home Alone. And that's one reason why actual real-life parents ended up so far down the list of preferred babysitters.
The other reason--that celebrities tend to make terrible parents--well, try to keep up.
That's what we've been saying all along.
Every time I look at the Jennifer Aniston GQ cover, I wonder why Jen's rodent pose appeals to guys more than her other noodie poses?
