For Clarkson, No Kids Would Not Suck

March 10, 2009
Kelly Clarkson’s plate is too chocked full of hit singles and concert dates to be thinking about actual dates or marriage right now, and the ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ singer says in a new interview that being a rock star “is too selfish” of an enterprise for her to be a good mom.
“Oh, my God, I have no desire. I would not be a good mother,” Clarkson, 26, tells USA Today about having kids. “I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids — because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.” She has a little more leeway when it comes to getting hitched some day. “I’m not against it,” she says about marriage. “If I found a guy who could handle my job, that would be cool. But I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around.” In the meantime, Clarkson is content with keeping her personal life simple and as free from the limelight as possible, including her choice to live in a very un-Hollywood setting. “I live on a ranch in Texas and do my own thing,” she says. “And I don’t care what anyone has to say about it. My joke is that the only people I’m trying to please are myself and my fans, because they’re the ones buying my records. And I have the best, most loyal fan base ever.”

It’s actually refreshing to read about Clarkson’s choice instead of opening up the latest celebrity fashion blog with a “So-and-so is pregnant with her fifth kid!” nonsense. Her decision to remain childfree shows that she does not follow the crowd like the rest of the sheep do. Individual thinking seems to be rare in Hollywood these days where a liberal mindset prevails. If and when Clarkson decided to get married, hopefully her partner will also be as childfree as she is. Being childfree should be the Number One discussion before getting married - even before the money discussion takes place. Evaluating why one gets married is the most important thing. Marriage is not just something “everyone does” - once it is done for that purpose, it loses its meaning, if it had any meaning to begin with. The old fashioned values of real relationships are still valued by some Americans. Marriage and parenthood no longer have that “It must be done for public approval” sanction in a nation where one should be free to make the choice of how one wants to live their life. If anything, Clarkson is not being selfish for not having kids. She knows herself well enough to make that decision. More power to her.
