If there's one universal experience that all parents share, one that crosses all cultural, social, and economic boundaries, it is this. You want a better life for your children than you have had. When you're in that delivery room, and they hand you this small, vulnerable, completely dependent, wriggling ball of kinetic energy, you dream of a future for them free from strife. Where there is no struggle they cannot overcome. Where they build solid loving relationships with a family of their own. And achieve great things. As a old work friend of mine put it when one of our coworkers was trying desperately to get his son a job working for the same court system we were, "Doesn't a coal miner not want his kid to become a coal miner?" It's in our nature to want more for our children than we have. 

Though that doesn't apply to every parent. If, say, you're an unhinged, self-possessed, vainglorious, self-infatuated narcissist, you may just want your child to end up with the same dynamic of toxic, humiliating dysfunction you've achieved in your own personal life. Which is the case with America's favorite crackpot celebrity couple.

Which is why she'd approve of daughter Willow Smith having a relationship like the one she and Will Smith have.

As the Girls Trip actress recently explained to Danielle Robay on the Feb. 29 episode of PRETTYSMART, "If it's going to help her become the woman I'm becoming, yes."

In fact, despite her and Will's 2016 separation, Jada confirmed they are in it for the long haul. "As much as Will and I have tried to get away from each other, it's not happening," she said, echoing a previous statement from last year.

And although Jada noted her relationship will never be the "fairy tale" she previously hoped for, she's still thankful to have the Oscar winner as her life partner. "To know that I have someone by my side that, no matter what, is dedicated to learning how to love and learning how to love me, and vice versa, I don't know what else you could ask for."

If you have the two minutes to invest, I suggest you take the time to watch the video. Because even by the high standards of vapid, fawning celebrity worship interviews, this one is remarkable:

If nothing else, shoot for the 0:40 mark where she utters that line "the woman I'm becoming" line, and makes the host positively swoon:

And while we're on the subject of the woman she's becoming, what mom wouldn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps when it comes to cucking your husband, sitting down for an interview with him, and telling him about it to his face on camera?

Then giving him stinkeye on national prime time TV, manipulating him into committing Assault & Battery over a joke you didn't like, ruining his career and making him a pariah on what was the biggest night of his life? In Jada's own words, "I don't know what else you could ask for." And the answer is obvious. 

Nothing. There's nothing more you could ever want in a marriage. For you or your daughter.

When you can take one of the most popular entertainers of his generation, one who practically grew up in front of America's eyes, with the crossover appeal to be a success in sitcoms, Pop music, and some of the highest grossing action, comedy and Sci-Fi films of all time, and make him dance on the end of your puppet strings for the whole world to see? And still pulling those strings after eight years of separation, one Best Actor Oscar and the most humiliating public meltdown in Hollywood history? That takes some doing. That's practically a superpower.

What's more, that is true happiness. Marital bliss in its purest form.  And so much more rewarding than just your boring, garden variety relationship of compromise, self-sacrifice, putting your spouse's needs ahead of your own, creating a loving environment of mutual respect for your kids to grow up in, and happily growing old together. That life is for normies. The kind of people who don't get their asses kissed in insufferable interviews on celebrity sites. So with any luck, Jada and Will's daughter has learned from them, and will grow up to be just like the woman her mom is becoming. And all you single fellas out there? Consider yourselves warned.
