Knocked Up Celebs

You can see Rachel Weisz next month starring in the movie, The Lovely Bones, where two parents deal with the murder of their daughter, but Rachel feels that the frustrations that come with motherhood isn’t discussed enough.

“I think one of the things that mothers aren’t allowed to talk about enough to one another is the times when you’re pulling your hair out at home with the kids. Those moments when everything is crashing in and you feel like you’re going to scream. It doesn’t make us less good or less human, just real. I think there is sometimes too much pressure on us to be perfect parents, to be empathetic and loving all the time. Every woman needs a good girlfriend to be able to turn to and say, ‘I just can’t deal with it all today.’ Because even though children are the most precious things in the world, they are also sent to test us. I think women are already stretched and pressured to be perfect, and it kind of drives me crazy.”

I know that sometimes when you talk to other mothers about how you are stressed for the day it’s sometimes feels like you are complaining about having children in general. I think it would be helpful if more people like Rachel would speak out like this so everyone knows that yes we are human.
