Katie Holmes gives up acting for motherhood?
Categories: Pregnancy & Birth, Media
I've never been so up on gossip than since I started writing for
Blogging Baby. Today rumor mills are churning out supposed tales about Katie Holmes, the future Mr Tom Cruise, giving
up her acting career to be a stay at home mother.
I've been an at home mother since my daughter was born, so I definitely see the value and worth of the job. However, the whole TomKat phenomenon makes me wonder if Katie is being even more completely absorbed into her future husband's sphere at just 26.
I guess time will tell and what do we know as removed observers? But I hate to admit: I'm curious.

"The future MR Tom Cruise"? Now THERE's a fun typo. Who wears the pants in that relationship?

Good for her AND for her children if she decides to stay home with them! These first years are SO important and I don't think it'll hurt her career one bit to stay home, after all, I think Tom can afford it! LOL!

Well, staying home may be very good for the kids, but so is being an individual. So please bear with my disagreeing.
I'm the first one to be skeptical of conspiracy-in-the-media theories that my friends spout all the time now that I have a kid and have "been had" by the power structure. But if any so-called "news story" is a clear example of social indoctrination for women it's this one. 1. Give over all your decisions about your body to your man. 2. Literally give up your voice in the birth process. 3. Endure pain for the sake of purity. 4. And now, give up what has been your creative outlet and productive livelihood as well. It's positively Brechtian.
As my friend's brother-in-law says to be nice in just about any situation, "Good luck with that."

Of course you're ASSUMING all of this is because of Tom. Why can't any of it be KATIE'S choice? Why can't those be things she wants? Who is to say that she does or does not believe in these choices?

Forget it it's the Sun shit.
Nicole Kidman shoot more movies than Tom when they were married.
Don't buy the Sun who cite a "source".
