Apparently no one has told
Keri Russell that getting overly emotional doesn't really stop after having the kids have grown either. I am not finding it to be a phase but more of a long term thing. Then again, I had two kids in three years so maybe my hormones haven't calmed down yet. I still can't listen to
Ingrid Michaelson's song
Highway without getting a migraine afterwards. Here is Keri talking about how her perspective has changed since giving birth to
River.
"No one ever tells you that as soon as you become a parent anything dealing with a kid or a baby affects you. I'm not kidding. I was watching Finding Nemo and I was bursting into tears: "How is he gonna find his dad?' My husband Shane was like, "Should we turn this off? I mean, is this gonna be too upsetting?' "Shane and I stepped in the back of a screening of my new film August Rush for, like, the last 10 minutes, and I was just crying as soon as I sat down. I looked over and my husband was crying too. When you have a child it just changes everything and you see things in such a different light."
