Drew Barrymore has a message for working moms — ‘stop feeling guilty’.
The actress and mom to Olive, 3, and Frankie, 1, believes that busy mothers spend too much time wallowing in remorse for not being able to do it all.
“I think we’re all hard on ourselves because we’re just trying our best,” she tells the Daily News. “I don’t understand how women love to get on the guilt trip. It’s like we have guilt for breakfast, guilt for lunch, guilt for dinner and then we go to bed feeling guilty.”
Dads, on the other hand, spare themselves the same torture, she says.
“I used to think that I totally understood men,” Barrymore says. “Now I realize I do not understand anything about men. I’m so curious to know how they deal with it and from what I can tell, they don’t torture themselves the way we do.”
