Partying Or Motherhood - Nicole Richie Conflicted

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Nicole Richie became a first time parent recently - and yes, motherhood can be very overwhelming at times.  Richie is reportedly torn between her old partying ways and being a mom.  Can she have both?

Nicole had a pretty carefree life before daughter Harlow came along - I mean besides the "no kids" factor, she had a fairly easy way of living.  Sure it wasn't all sunshine and roses but her reality was a bit different than most "regular people."  She was also famous for her partying and often public appearances.  And now, she feels like no matter what she's doing - out while baby is home, or home with Harlow - she should be doing the opposite.

This according to MSNBC:

Though she says life’s been “beyond amazing” since giving birth to her daughter in January, the diaper-duty demands of motherhood leave Nicole Richie pining for her old party days, according to Star magazine.

“Nicole is torn between being a mommy and being a party girl,” an insider told the publication. “She wants to go out and have fun, but when she does, she’s like, ‘Uh-oh, Harlow needs me.’”

The dramatic lifestyle change is catching to the new mom, said another source. “Nicole really misses her carefree life. Before Harlow came along, Nicole never had to worry about anything. All she did was party with her friends and go shopping. Now she’s totally overwhelmed by her new responsibility, even though she adores her daughter. Nicole still can’t figure out if she’s happier when she’s home with the baby or hitting the town with her friends!”

Hopefully Nicole can find a healthy balance.  Every mother needs a break to let loose, go out with friends, just have some "me" time, but I do hope Nicole isn't seriously debating on whether clubbing every night or spending quality time with Harlow is a hard choice.

She got pregnant too young.  She seems too immature right now to be a mom, if that story is true.  I can't imagine being happier hitting the clubs than being with my little guy.

Sure she can party and be a mom.  Her parents did and look hwo great she turned out.  Oh, except for the heroin thingy and the drunk thingy and the coke thingy.  Nevermind. Once a junkie always a junkie.

oh please bean, too young? whattever....

Nicole is just saying it like it is. Although I love spending all of my days with my girls I can't help but be ecstatic when I get a night out to dress up have a few drinks and party with my friends.

Not only that there have only been reports of Nicole breastfeeding and not wanting to be away for too long from her baby, hardly the behavior of an immature woman.

I think it's great that she gets to experience young motherhood unlike many North American women today who wait until they are desperate to get pregnant and find motherhood to be an exhausting job.
