Miley Cyrus hailed for her candid take on motherhood and a child-free life: ‘A celebrity being real’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Miley Cyrus has been praised online for her honest views on not choosing motherhood.
During a recent appearance on the New York Times’ 'Interview' podcast, the 32-year-old actress shared that once her stepfather actor Dominic Purcell asked her, “Why are you the only one without a makeup line?” as reported by BuzzFeed.
She revealed that she told him that’s because it’s not her “passion”.
“He goes: ‘That’s the right answer.’ And it made so much sense. It’s like: ‘I don’t have a makeup line because I’m not a makeup artist,’” Cyrus said.
The singer then went on to note that she feels “that way about motherhood” too.
Miley Cyrus believes it’s ‘a lot of responsibility’ to have children
“It’s just never been something that I’ve been overly passionate about,” she mentioned.
The ‘Hannah Montana’ star added, “It’s a lot of responsibility and devotion and energy, and if you’re not passionate about that, I don’t know how you do sleepless nights and 18 years of what my mom dealt with.”
People online loved Cyrus’ frankness.
Netizens love Miley Cyrus' take on motherhood
A Reddit user commented, “Finally, a celebrity being real about not wanting to be a parent — so many pretend it’s the only thing that matters.”
Another Reddit user wrote, “I agree with Miley, why become a mom, if you do not feel like raising them.”
The third one said, “I LOVEEE that she said this about motherhood. I feel Guilty. I don't Want kids but I don't HAVE TO want them.”
“I totally agree. I think a lot of people like the idea of having kids, but don't actually enjoy taking care of children. My nephew is adorable, but I don't enjoy playing with him. I don't want to do the same boring game over and over and over. I don't want to have to watch him every minute so he doesn't get hurt. I don't like that he doesn't eat at the exact time I want him to eat and he doesn't eat exactly what we serve him. I don't want to drive him places. I don't want to do playdates. I don't want to spend money on daycare. I don't want to take him to after school activities. I don't want to not be in total control of my own life. I don't want to do bathroom and hygiene stuff. He asked to sit in my lap last week and it was really nice, so I get why people enjoy that part of it. But I don't want to take care of anyone but myself and my dog. My brother, on the other hand, loves being a parent and has endless patience and enthusiasm for his son. He's exhausted, lol, but he loves it. It's great when the parents really enjoy it and really damaging when they don't,” an individual posted.
“She said no lies I don’t like doing certain things therefore I don’t do them I’m not going to do it just cause other people are doing it,” the second one stated.
A comment read, “This is why I love Miley, she’s always been real. So many celebrities will push out anything to make an extra dollar. Like no shade to MBB but why does she have a makeup line? How is that at all relevant to her brand? It’s stuff like that that makes celebrities so much more annoying when they release obvious cash grabs. I respect Miley for keeping it real instead of doing whatever she can to make an extra buck.”
