Felicity Huffman Talks About Family
Felicity Huffman had a chance to talk to Modern Mom about motherhood, family activities, and balancing a career with her home life. Here are some highlights from the interview…
On her definition of a Modern Mom: I’ll start with my definition of an old-fashioned mom: a mom who puts the needs of everyone else above hers to her own detriment. A modern mom respects herself and honors her needs on par with those of her family.
On her secret to balancing career and family: Honestly, I don’t have one. I rush from one thing to another and have a lot of guilt…I’m still striving to find that balance. But, I will say that having great, reliable childcare is essential and I’m thankful that I can have caregivers who have been with us since our girls were born. For any mom, solid childcare — whether it’s a babysitter, a relative, or daycare — makes all the difference. And, my husband, Bill, is amazing too…he travels a lot for work, but when he’s here, he’s HERE.
On what her parents taught her about parenting: My mom raised me and gave me the gift of fun and pleasure. She showed me how to enjoy every moment. Another great gift was that she didn’t make motherhood out to be the best thing in the world she was honest about how tough it can be. I can always call her and say, “It’s so hard!” and not feel bad about it.
On what she wants to teach her daughters, Sofia and Georgia: I want them to have a strong sense of self…that they can always listen to and rely on.
On her favorite family activity: Tickling on the couch! And we sing a lot…Bill plays the ukulele or the guitar and we sing together. We also love to take long walks in our neighborhood.
