Geri Halliwell Doesn’t Care If Daughter Becomes “Goth Lesbian”
Geri Halliwell says she’s going to be a relaxed mom and that no matter which direction her daughter, Bluebell Madonna’s life goes in, that she’ll stand by her.
“If she turns out to be a goth lesbian who works in dental surgery then that’s OK.”
She’s never going to censor her.
“I’ll be absolutely honest with her and not judge her. But equally I’ll empower her with education and that’s all we can do. The more we censure somebody, the more they’re likely to act out. It’s about giving boundaries and we all need boundaries. After that I think she’ll be a smart enough girl to make her own choices.”
Some parents seem to hope that their kids will fit a very specific mold, or even more common…hope they’ll become just like mom and dad. I think it’s hard for kids to live up to the expectations that their parents hold sometimes.

May 9th, 2008 @ 3:52 pmAWEsome! That’s true tolerance and unconditional love right there. Ginger Spice always was my favorite.
May 9th, 2008 @ 3:52 pmDefinitely… I agree with that parenting methodolgy. However, thinking of things such as tatoos, I wouldn’t allow my children to get any before they’re mature enough. I’d tell them that for now I won’t allow them to get any (only because they might regret it) but when I see that they’re mature enough and are capable of making such a decision properly then they can do as they wish.
May 9th, 2008 @ 3:54 pmMany parents say these things until they are IN the teen years, it is NOT easy to stay so “chill” about things. I do agree with much of what she says, though.
May 9th, 2008 @ 4:44 pmI agree with you #4 - before you have kids, or when they are still little, you always think that you are going to be the coolest mom and give your children freedom, etc etc… Then the teenage years hit… and somewhere along the way you realize how much you love this child and how you want to protect them and you realize you aren’t as lenient as you planned. Good luck with that though Geri!
May 9th, 2008 @ 4:54 pmCapturingLife, you said exactly what I was coming here to say.
May 9th, 2008 @ 5:22 pmwell, I think lenience and necessary protection can go hand in hand
May 9th, 2008 @ 5:26 pmdeep thoughts, who’d guess…. Equally as important to keep your child occupied and have discipline. Many parents fall for traps like being a friend to children. I think it is more important to be a parent, and then let them know you are their friend.
May 9th, 2008 @ 5:32 pmIt’s a great philosophy towards childrearing to have in theory but in actual fact it is much harder to practice, especially, as #4 pointed out, when one’s children become teens and young adults. As parents, all we can do is our best to raise decent, polite, responsible children and hope that life works out well for them in the end.
May 9th, 2008 @ 6:10 pmWhat on Earth is a Goth Lesbian?? lol British are so clueless. lolol
May 9th, 2008 @ 6:41 pmI think she was trying to say the same thing as #9 — the best we can do is raise the children well and hope they do well.
May 9th, 2008 @ 7:07 pmI love that she’s laughing/smiling while her daughter is throwing a fit- most people would be mortified if their child did that in public let alone with PAPPARAZI around. Geri is a great mom, and definately someone i would be friends with. I hope she finds love again and has another baby too.
May 9th, 2008 @ 8:12 pmHey, that seems to be working well for Ms. Jolie!
May 9th, 2008 @ 10:04 pm……………………AND WHAT ABOUT A PROSTITUE?
May 10th, 2008 @ 7:32 amand what if lil miss bluebell decides she DOESN’T want an education? what then?
May 10th, 2008 @ 8:56 amStupidest mom in America..these are the kinds of people who vote for Obama.
Sad.
May 10th, 2008 @ 11:13 amkdogg, Geri is British. No chance of her voting for Obama. So what’s your point?
May 10th, 2008 @ 3:31 pmgoth lesbian??? no way… i would give her a handful of aspirins and a bottle of beer. such a waste.
May 10th, 2008 @ 3:40 pmLOL. Cute picture!
May 10th, 2008 @ 3:49 pmI’m gonna have to agree with number 16 on this one
May 11th, 2008 @ 12:07 am16 - She’s not even american!
May 11th, 2008 @ 9:58 pmToo bad parents are no longer parents but best friends that don’t show their kids boundaries and do not punish them. And then we wonder why children feel they can do whatever it is they want to do, like kill people….
