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

she looks nice.
I’m not a mother and I can really, really relate to what she’s saying. Too often I read in magazines interviews where people wax poetic about their life and how everything is just so wonderful and smooth. Life is a bumpy ride, I wish more people would admit it.
I just had to say – she is sooo pretty!
She is officially the most beautiful woman in showbizz!
I can relate to both points definitely. She’s so great!:-)
ops, sorry for the double post
I’m so in love with her. I wish she’d marry me, but then we’d have two kids called Henry and that would just be awkward, so I’ll have to admire her from afar.
Finally, a celeb that admits parenthood is hard. Probably because she actually spends time with her kids…lol. It’s very rewarding, but she’s spot on when she says there are days you could just pull all of your hair out. I’ve gone into my room, had a scream fest while thrashing pillows just to vent. LOL Then you have a good cry and start over. Other days, it’s sheer bliss. Usually it’s somewhere in between, though.
really ? who knew ?!!
i love her
Shocking.
