We all know that a high powered career takes a pretty decent amount of self obsession. Celebrities who get too wrapped up in themselves, their careers, and fame and fortune are a dime a dozen.

It is unfortunate when these celebrities have children that they put on the back burner for the "thrill" of going to parties, making money, and going on fabulous vacations. Of course, these kids usually have nannies and butlers along with more money we could ever hope for, but still that doesn't make a child feel loved.

These celebs took self obsession to a new level and were just to selfish to be good parents. Loving ourselves more than our children seems unfathomable, but it happens. Sadly, these children were pushed aside for glamour and glitz that they just couldn't compete with.

Celebrity life has its benefits, but it also comes with its fair share of obstacles. Stress, press, and self obsession are all a part of the celebrity life which can make it difficult to draw a line between who we are publicly and family life. Many of these celebs found themselves caught up in the money and drama, and let their children slip away.

14 Mama June

Mama June is the mother of child star Honey Boo Boo. Mama June makes it clear she has little regard for her children when she rekindles a relationship with a man who had previously assaulted her daughter Anna. Anna was just eight years old at the time, and today she is in her twenties.

Mama June has also been accused of stealing from her daughter's trust fund and savings account. Anna alleges that her mother took over $15,000 from her which Mama June "fixed" by writing her a check for $15,400.

The mother of four is still reconciling with the man who molested her daughter and is referred to as "Sugar Bear." Really, the name didn't set anything off? She also claims to have not known about this issues when Anna was eight.

13 Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy shares a daughter with former Spice Girl Mel B. Murphy refused to believe it was possible that this baby was his. After denying her until he was proven scientifically to be her father with a DNA test, Murphy still wasn't on board. His idea of parenting was paying child support. He had no interest in being an actual parent. Maybe it interfered with his acting/comedy career or maybe being forever linked to a Spice Girl just wasn't the type of publicity he was hoping for.

Either way, it's evident that Murphy took the easy way out when it came to stepping up and being a parent. He surely didn't teach his child how to take responsibly for one's own actions. Sorry Murph, but being a parent actually means A LOT more than just getting out the pocketbook, especially when it's court ordered.

12 Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham rose to fame with the MTV shows 16 and Pregnant as well as Teen Mom. Unfortunately she fits the negative stereotype of a both teen mom and reality star by keeping herself relevant with sex tapes. There are some conflicting reports of whether it was a sex tape or a porn video, but either way neither of those are something a child wants to see their mother starring in.

Abraham was also on Celebrity Big Brother where she was labelled as the most toxic housemate. That's not exactly the type of woman we want raising a child. Her issues might stem from ones with her own mother. In addition to starring in multiple reality shows, Farrah self solves her issues with drugs and alcohol making her a rather unfit caregiver for her young daughter.

11 Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan has been in the crosshairs before for being a less than stellar parent after a strange rub down with his teenage daughter. Hogan was part of a very public affair which ruined his marriage and family. Something that put his children in an awkward situation. Don't worry, Hulk put his own son in a more awkward spot when he used him as a mediator and go between for him and his ex-wife.

But we aren't done yet, Hulk's affair was with his daughter's best friend. Yuck. Yuck. Yucky. At least, he could have had an affair with the girl his daughter didn't know at school if he wanted to go for someone that age. But still he put his own "needs" much above that of his family and children. It's rather unbelievable that a dad could actually do that to his own children.

10 Brooke Mueller

Brooke Mueller shares children with Charlie Sheen. Neither has ever been a grade A parent, and Denise Richards has actually taken care of their children as well as her own with Sheen for quite some time on and off. During those times where the children were with Richards, Mueller herself was in rehab.

Brooke is actually currently back in rehab while a nanny who has been with her two sons since birth is taking care of them. This isn't Brooke's first time in rehab, so hopefully she'll be able to actually keep herself on track this time for the well being of her sons. In November of 2016, someone called her in for a welfare check of her children. The caller is believed to be her own mother. Ouch!

9 Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin is upset because a nasty voicemail that he left for his own daughter is thrown in his face everyday. Yes he actually complained about that while on Good Morning America. While the voicemail is a decade old now, we all know once things are out there we can't take them back. Voicemails included.

At the time Baldwin's daughter was just 11 years old when he called her a "rude, thoughtless, little pig." He picked an awful time to say some seriously disturbing things to his daughter who was at a very impressionable age nonetheless. Still somehow Baldwin is trying to play the victim because it keeps getting brought up. His concern should be first to fix his relationship with his daughter. We'd recommend flowers daily and chocolate. Two he should be worried about how it being brought up again could impact her NOT him.

8 Kris Jenner

We all know the mom-ager runs the Kardashian-Jenner kids like a sweat shop. Even Kris's own daughters have accused her of loving Kim Kardashian-West more than her other children because she was the primary bread-winner bringing back Kris her ten percent cut as manager.

Kris's motives for pushing her children really came into question on the family's reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians almost a decade ago when she pushes her daughter, Kim, to do a nude shoot for Playboy magazine even though her daughter is beyond uncomfortable.

It left audiences wondering if Kris had her daughter's best interest or paycheck in mind when she made the decisions she did. Many question how a mother can push her own daughter to pose naked when she was clearly not into it herself. What does that teach our little girls?

7 Scott Disick

While Scott was recently linked to a former Disney star, it wasn't because he was planning a birthday party for one of his children. Scott's interests are much more of the "adult" variety and often don't involve being clean enough to be a stable, reliable parent to his three children with reality star Kourtney Kardashian.

Scott is known for having a turning wheel of women that can't seem to keep his interest. He went on a party spree in Cannes and then London while neglecting to even spend time with his own children on his 34th birthday making it clear what he considers "fun." Disick has been warned that his disastrous party behavior might cost him his family just as it cost him Kourtney, but that doesn't seem to be stopping Scott anytime soon.

6 Courtney Love

Courtney Love has had a turmoil filled relationship with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain basically since her birth. Love has struggled with addiction making it difficult to be a proper parent for much of her daughter's life on and off. Love has lost her daughter to her late father's mother, Wendy O Connor, quite a few times.

Love struggled to stay clean and not use drugs even while she was pregnant with her daughter back in the early 90's. Frances had a troubled childhood with a mother who was arrested multiple times causing her to be shuffled to relatives and temporary guardians. Courtney also overdosed on painkillers and threatened suicide during her daughter's young childhood. Many of late Kurt Cobain's family members have remarked that Love is barely able to take care of herself let alone a child, which could be a result of her preference of drugs over parenting.

5 Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen is no newbie when it comes to rehab. Sheen has children with both Brooke Mueller and Denise Richards, who has actually spent a great deal of time raising his children from Mueller as well while both do time in rehab. Sheen took to Twitter back in 2015 to call Richards a "heretical washed up piglet Shame pile" and "worst mom alive!" Sheen has put his parenting on hold for years to pursue drugs, alcohol, and a variety of chaos which caused Mueller to file a restraining order in 2011 and his sons to be removed from his home.

Sheen has made it clear that the party life was more important and more fun than parenting for years. Today he has made himself a poster boy for being HIV positive and thrown his acting career in the trash. With no way to pay his bills or child support, Sheen finds himself living back at home with his own father, Martin Sheen.

4 Britney Spears

Imagine if the woman known for having a breakdown and shaving her head was your mom. *Shudder.* Being in the public eye put Britney's parenting skills under a microscope which got her caught holding her infant son in her lap instead of a car seat. That's something that would get her in some serious hot soup with social media moms today.

When Britney and then husband Kevin Federline filed for divorce, Britney sought sole custody of her kids and "proved" herself a fit mother by partying with undies. That sounds like a solid plan to convince any judge why we should have our children. HA NOPE.

Spears has changed her tune lately and claims to love parenting. It doesn't mean that her boys or the world have forgotten that she traded her son's birthday party to perform at the VMA's or left them to go party with Paris Hilton. Thankfully the internet will prevent Britney's smokescreen from pretending she didn't pick booze over her boys for quite a while.

3 David Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff was not only an actor on Baywatch, but he is also the subject of a rather disturbing drunk video filmed by his own daughter, Taylor. The film shows Hasselhoff shirtless and lying on the floor while shoving a hamburger in his mouth.

His daughter's purpose for filming was to show her dad what he was like when he was drinking because he apparently couldn't see a problem himself. This whole debacle occurred on Thanksgiving weekend almost a decade ago, but it doesn't seem that things are getting a ton better for the Hasselhoff bunch because David surely didn't set a good example for his daughters.

Hasselhoff couldn't get his act under control and set a serious drinking precedent for his daughters which resulted in his daughter Hayley getting arrested for a DUI this past year in L.A. Sadly for David, no one must have told him that parenting requires putting the bottle down and doing what isn't always fun in order to raise responsible, healthy humans.

2 Joe Jackson

We have to wonder if Michael Jackson wanted to hide his children from the public or just from his awful, money hungry father. Michael kept Joe away from himself and his own children for most of his adult life because he alleged that his father beat him as a child.

The former music manager produced some famous, talented children who barely speak to the man. Jackson was also accused of molesting his two daughters throughout their childhoods which is a selfish act that is difficult to top.

Joe feels he created his children's success and fame especially for late Michael and Janet due to the Jackson Five, but none of them want to have anything to do with him after his behavior throughout their childhoods. Jackson has had several strokes leaving him in the hospital, and only Janet came to visit because of his lack of concern and proper parenting.

1 Woody Allen

Woody Allen has been compared to Bill Cosby when it comes to being a grade A creep. Allen married his step daughter shortly after divorcing her mother. The divorce occurred when his now ex wife found her husband in possession of nude photos of her daughter. YUCK! It is beyond evident that Allen abused his authority as a step parent figure for years as it is alleged that he molested and slept with the girl for years.

Woody Allen was not allowed to be alone with his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow. Mia Farrow actually had to leave this instruction for the babysitters because of how untrustworthy, disgusting, and selfish Allen was. Sexual assault accusations became a normalcy for the Allen-Farrow family, but Woody refused to even take a police administered lie detector test because Mia wasn't asked to. Sound logic, right?
