Of course Nicole has what it takes to be a mother, as does ANY woman on the planet! Becoming a mother for the first time, is a rather daunting experience, but you soon learn to do what comes naturally (well, most of us do) I will admit that there are some women who shouldn't be mothers, they are the one's who don't take mothering seriously! Now we don't have to name a particular young mum who has been put in the spotlight recently, for her unconventional mothering skills...but let me say this doesn't come naturally for all of us! I was a single mum at the tender age of 21 and life has been a roller coaster since then, but I have become a stronger person because of it and I am grateful for the whole experience so far...My kids are my world and without them I don't know where I would be. As for Nicole Ritchie...what right do we have to judge what sort of mother she would be? Do we know her personally? Do we know what kind of relationship she has with her family and partner? We only know what the media puts out there for the public to judge her on...and it's not fair to ask the question...does she have what it takes to be a mother...what about Does Joel Madden have what it takes to be a father? They are in a relationship after all...The question should be, Do they have what it takes to become parents? But there IS NO definite answer here...No one knows how they are going to react or behave once their children are born. This opens up a whole new world for people, as everything you once knew to be normal, becomes a distant memory, and it changes the person you used to be. I don't think we have the right to judge ANYONE..for everyone is different, and that's just the way it is!
