From an outsider's perspective, kids of celebrities often live pretty glamorous lifestyles. As much as we wonder what it would be like to have a star's wealth and celebrity status, being raised by one seems to come with its own set of Hollywood perks. Thrust into the spotlight for being born into a famous family, the glimpses that we get into the lives of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/firsthand-accounts-of-famous-parents/ivey-nucilli">kids of celebrities</a> seem to be filled with world travel, the latest designer clothing, invites to award shows and premieres, and an inherited social circle including some of the world's best entertainers.&nbsp;In reality, kids of celebrities aren't always nearly impressed with their famous parents as the rest of the world seems to be. In fact, many of them don't even realize that their parents are famous until much later in life. To them, they're just “Mom” and “Dad” - committing the same social faux pas and embarrassing antics that our own parents did when we were growing up.&nbsp;From brutally honest feedback that only a child could dish out to tales of complete disinterest over their parents' A-list work, this list features some of the most humbling stories celebrities have experienced raising their kids.&nbsp;

Books have always been a key part of the American cultural and social landscape, and thus have often become flashpoints in various culture wars. In fact, throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, certain books - even some we love - have been declared off-limits by those who believe they pose a danger to a certain group (usually children).&nbsp;Many reasons exist for book bans, which typically render even stellar tomes into stories people can’t read. This is all the more unsettling given how often banned books have been turned into films,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-movies-based-on-banned-books/mike-mcgranaghan">many of which are underrated</a>.

The Best TV Shows For Babies and Infants to Watch

Ranker TV

Which TV shows about parenting do you think are best? While there are countless manuals, books, and detailed guides people can pick up to help them learn proper parenting techniques, some of us just turn on the TV. Television series about parenting have been around since stations first started broadcasting programs and that&#39;s simply due to the fact that they&#39;re both relatable and highly entertaining. Plus, people who watch television tend to be (or will become) a parent at one time in their lives. And while these shows aren&#39;t necessarily guides to parenting, watching how best to do it and what not to do has certainly helped more than a few families evolve&nbsp;over the years.

Finding the best parenting shows to watch is all about what kind of person you are and how you raise your family. Watching a show like Fox&#39;s&nbsp;Married... With Children&nbsp;might be a better indicator on how&nbsp;not&nbsp;to raise kids, while more recent shows like&nbsp;Modern Family&nbsp;focus on more positive aspects of child-rearing. Then you have some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-parents-whose-children-should-be-taken-away/christinatedesco" target="_blank">TV parents who shouldn&#39;t have kids</a>,&nbsp;but we can just be glad it&#39;s not real life.&nbsp;Whatever your preference, there are plenty of good parenting series to choose from and this list compiles the best of them all.&nbsp;

However, baby actors can be much harder to pick from the crowd. Because they were so young when they made their debuts, twins often team up to play one tiny character, and many choose not to continue their acting careers. They either pursue ordinary lives, or aren't recognized for some of their earliest works.This list features some of our favorite small sitcom stars all grown up.

For the Love of Pets

Parenting

It's no surprise that most kids love animals, and many kids will start begging for a pet as soon as they can talk. So, it's a good idea to know which pets your kids can handle before having your child pick out a new family member.However, it's important to remember that pets are living creatures. They all deserve to have the best care possible, no matter how small they are. Pets can be a great way to teach a kid responsibility, but it can be difficult for kids to care for every aspect of an animal's health. So, before choosing a pet with your child, make sure an adult in the household is willing to help the kid care for the pet when needed.Most kids will gravitate toward popular pets like dogs and cats, but those are some of the biggest commitments you can choose. It's unlikely that a kid will be able to be the primary caretaker for one of those animals at a young age. So, instead, consider a lower maintenance pet as an intro to the animal world. Keep reading to learn about great pets your kids will love and can take care of.

How, exactly, did Carol Brady keep up with that whole bunch? To be fair, she had a lot of help from Alice, but still...it's not easy. And yes, not all of the favorite TV mothers on this list are as capable as say, Shirley Partridge (The Partridge Family), or as kind and nurturing as Caroline Ingalls (Little House on the Prairie). No, there are hot messes here too, including Peggy Bundy (Married...With Children), one of the greatest '90s TV mothers.&nbsp;She might not be perfect, but she definitely loves her (totally messed up) kiddos. Claire Dunphy (Modern Family), for all her crazy, is actually a pretty awesome, fun mom to have. TV's most memorable Black mothers include Vivian Banks (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) and&nbsp;Dr. Rainbow "Bow" Johnson (Black-ish). We also can't forget about cartoon mothers, like Lois from Family Guy and Marge from The Simpsons. With so many good shows over the years, there have been many memorable mother characters in TV history.&nbsp;&nbsp;Vote up your favorite TV moms, and vote down the ones you think are the worst.&nbsp;

List of the greatest and most memorable dads from through television history. Which TV fathers were the most inspirational? Who taught you the most about growing up and becoming an adult? Which TV fathers were just the funniest and most entertaining? Any TV dads who fit these criteria are eligible for this list, an attempt to drill down into the definitive answer to the question: "Who's the world's favorite TV Dad?"Vote: <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-tv-moms-of-all-time-v3">Favorite TV Moms of All Time</a>Classic sitcoms revolving largely around the family gave us a ton of Dads to choose from, and for the most part, they were traditionally good fathers. Guys like Rob Petrie, Andy Taylor and Howard Cunningham looked out for their kids, paid attention to their needs and gave them solid life and career advice.Through the '80s and '90s, pop culture got a bit a bit more realistic or cynical, depending on who you ask, and TV Dads became more of a hodge-podge of responsibility and immaturity, reflecting the real, complex and often difficult job of being a father. Though there remain the shining examples of great TV dads like Cliff Huxtable from "The Cosby Show" and Dan Conner from "Roseanne," you now had alternative views of fatherhood, like Homer Simpson and the iconic Al Bundy.But this list doesn't discriminate! If your favorite TV dads are likely to lose their kids at the mall, ignore them in favor of football and beer or forget their birthdays, vote for 'em anyway! Your old man would be proud.

If a movie makes you cry or cheer or feel unusually invested... odds are good that there&#39;s a plucky animal involved. If a film makes you grip your arm rests, cover your eyes, and feel like something&#39;s crawling on you, there might just be an animatronic shark or CGI spider on the screen. (But we&#39;d rather look at <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/cutest-baby-animals">cute baby animals</a>.)
