Parenthood Changes Some

I will admit that I was at first nervous hearing about Nicole Richie's pregnancy. Her reputation as a party girl and going out everynight made me feel that she was not ready to settle down and have a family. This made me think that she would go down the same path as Britney Spears, having kids and leaving them with their nannies just to go party. What changed my mind about Nicole was her effort to learn more about motherhood. Nicole's fiance, Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, has also been doing some reading about pregnancy to learn what Nicole is going through. They seem to be ready for parenthood. The two of them have even started a charity, Richie Madden Children's Foundation, for struggling mothers. This pregnancy has really changed Nicole into a more responsible adult unlike her previous self. I am glad that parenthood has brought some logic into her life. I wish them the best of luck.
