Rachel Weisz Admits Motherhood Can Be Frustrating

Rachel Weisz, who next stars in the upcoming movie 'The Lovely Bones,' says she loves her son Henry but that doesn't mean being his mother is easy.

"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 think at least some of us who are mothers can relate, don't you think?

Yet Rachel still says she's never been happier since having Henry, and one bonus is learning how to use her time well.

"I find I can get a lot more done since I've had Henry. Suddenly, in 45 minutes, you can get twice as much done as you once did. I've become a lot more organized.

"And I'm a much happier person since I've had Henry, and much more balanced. I feel I have an ultimate purpose beyond anything else in my life."

OH YES! I think every mother understands that one- LOL
