Felicity Huffman Talks About Balancing It All

Felicity Huffman stars on the show Desperate Housewives, and she is also mother to two kids, Sofia, 7, and Georgia, 5. She recently sat down with Modern Mom and answered questions on her career, balancing it all, and parenting. Here are the highlights.

On 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 she wants to teach her kids: 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.

On who she admires the most: My mom. Maya Angelou, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Oprah. And Cate Blanchett for her astounding talent and skill…I’d do craft services (serving meals on movie sets) just to work with her!
