Which celebrities are relationship role models as parents
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
In most cases, celebrities can be rotten role models.
But a new Mother’s Day survey from the Family Violence Prevention Fund conducted a survey to find out which celebrities Americans believe have a healthy, positive, respectful relationship as parents. The results made us rethink our position on celebrities. Their winners really do seem to give their best to their families.
The winners:
Michelle and Barack Obama won with 43% of the vote.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith came in second with 26%
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner won 10% of the vote.
Do you agree with these choices? Who else would you nominate as celebrity parental role models?
Aisha covered education and breaking news for nearly ten years before joining the Lifestyle staff where she writes a "Dirty Laundry" parenting column. She is the home and family editor and wastes too much time on Facebook and political blogs. 
I’m sure there are some - but quite honestly, I can’t think of a single ‘celebrity parental role model.’
I know a lot of folks with wonderful families - and none of them are ‘celebrities.’
Joan Crawford?
Actually, how do we know what goes on in the private relationships of people we do not know–celebrity or not?
That said, I do like the above choices.
