Madonna: Being a wife and mother isn't what I want
The Daily Mail ^ | 2nd November 2006

Posted on 11/03/2006 12:45:28 AM PST by Mrs Ivan

Madonna has said that she does not want to be a wife and a mother.

And she confessed her older children, Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, six, complain that she neglects them.

The controversial star made the startling admission just three weeks after creating a worldwide furore by adopting little David Banda in Malawi.

It came as she was quizzed on American TV about her six-year marriage with British film director Guy Ritchie.

Speaking on NBC-TV's Dateline programme, which is similar to Newsnight, she laughed with interviewer Meredith Vieira who said: "Six years... and they said it wouldn't last."

Then Madonna was asked: "How do you make it work?"

She replied: "Well, it ain't easy. Being married and having kids is not exactly simple no matter who you are. In fact, trying to make those things work is quite a challenge. Sometimes you drop the ball."

She was asked when she last 'dropped the ball.'

She replied: "When I was on tour, my focus is you know doing my show every night. And on my days off, they're not really days off.

"I have to be mom and and wife and there are times when I should have, you know, hung out with my kids, and I just said, 'No, I need a massage. I'm gonna do that instead. You know? And I'm gonna be selfish'."

This one is for all of you who thought it was a good thing that she adopted that baby.

About the only kids who could turn out weirder belong to Micheal Jackson.

Can you imagine Madonna's kid returning to Malawi in 20 years with pink hair, leather chaps and high heel boots.


I only hope by then, someone has donated weapons.

I want to know if any of those that thought it was a good thing were the same that thought a little Cuban boy need to be returned to Cuba to be raised by his father because children needed to be raised by a parent?

Looks like Guy Ritchie wasn't too far off when he said Madonna was doing it for a publicity stunt. I would think that HE would know.

She probably thought "Oooh cute baby! I want!" much as a teenage girl would exclaim about a puppy in a pet store window.

That being said, the kid will probably have a better life just by being here, regardless of his neglectful mother.

His neglectful mother died in childbirth, what a bitch huh?

I thought she died in childbirth, too, but in reading previous articles it seems that she died a couple of months after giving birth. I'm not sure whose idea it was to pretend that the child was an orphan or give the impression that the child had AIDS (which he doesn't) or that the mother died in childbirth.

The point though, is that it wasn't the mother that took the baby to the orphanage, it was the father. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to suggest that being rich and neglected was better than being poor and neglected and, well, it didn't take long! LOL

Perhaps we ought to ask the Americans to take her back. We'll throw in Guy Ritchie and his films apart from "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"

Love, Ivan

Dad put the kid up in the orphanage because, as I get it, he couldn't provide for both of them and care for the kid. I want to be happy for eveyone here, but Madonna is a shamelass prostitute and she can't claim the 'media' did her wrong since she invited the 'media' to watch her.

Don't forget Granny.

Yes, it seems Madonna needed the publicity, hence the 'media' invite. How long til she complains about the media presence? Oh wait, was that when the baby arrived and had to have his head covered? Was that the signal that the media's presence was no longer 'needed'?

I'm not sure if the Granny is the father's mother or the mother's mother but the baby has a Granny along with his father.

Maybe she was inspired by Woody Allen
