Celebrity Parenting: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Madonna: The Super Strict Mom

Madonna has made headlines for what seems to be extremely strict parenting; this seems to be at odds with her wild persona as a performer. She has been said to not allow her children to watch TV. She also confiscates her daughter’s clothes when they’re left on the floor until she’s down to a single outfit.

She also reportedly forced them to engage in a variety of Kabbalah practices which includes eating a very strict macrobiotic diet—that means no sweets, dairy, salt, preservatives, or many animal products. Her eldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, has complained that her mom is “too controlling.”
