Celebrity mum moments
- Demi Moore, mum to Rumer, Scout and Tallulah<p> "They are my priority and I've always been sensitive to their feelings, but as the parent you can't allow your children to dictate what's right for you."</p> <p> </p>
- Sarah Jessica Parker, mum to James, Tabitha and Marion<p> "As a working mother high heels don't really fit into my life anymore — but in a totally wonderful way. I would much rather think about my son than myself."</p> <div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"> </div>
- Sara Cox, mum to Lola, Isaac and Renee<p> "If I'm at work, I'm knackered, if I'm at home all day, I'm knackered, but if I do a half day at work and a half day at home, the <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/07/21/sara-cox-our-house-is-complete-chaos-but-i-love-it/" target="_blank">tiredness is off the scale.</a> It's just non-stop. The minute I get home I pick up a potato peeler and start dinner, usually with all three of them hanging off me!"</p>
- Kate Ford, mum to Otis<p> <span style="font-style: italic;">"</span>There are bits about my post-baby body I’m not so keen on but I look at Otis and it’s all worth it. I just love him so much. It’s like being with your best friend all day, every day."</p>
- Julia Roberts, mum to Hazel, Finn and Henry<p> <em>"</em>That’s the thing about being new to the world, you’re just so present and impressed with everything. Everything is exciting."</p> <p> </p>
- Rachel Weisz, mum to Henry<p> "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."</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
- Holly Willoughby, mum to Harry and Belle<p> "I'm lucky I can take my babies to work. I manage to get a good work-life balance. To be honest I don't think women can win. <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/11/15/holly-willoughby-says-working-mums-cant-win/" target="_blank">Working mums</a> get a tough time and stay-at-home mums get a tough time. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You just have to do what's right for you."</p>
- Kate Beckinsale, mum to Lily<p> <em><span style="font-style: italic;">"</span></em><span style="font-style: italic;">I</span><em><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></em>feel incredibly lucky and blessed, but I do sometimes feel like that exorcist lady!"</p>
- Melanie C, mum to Scarlett<p> "Those first few months were really hard. Finding your feet, getting to know your child, coping with the lack of sleep... you simply go into survival mode. It’s exhausting but my daughter is the light of my life... it’s just so hard trying to express that verbally."</p>
- Stacey Solomon, mum to Zachary<p> "When Zachary says "I love you" - that moment is always amazing. I love the mornings when we don't have to get up too. He gets into my bed and we cuddle and watch TV together."</p>
- Jennifer Lopez, mum to Emme and Max<p> <span style="font-style: italic;">"</span>I get tired sometimes, but to be quite honest, I love what I do."</p>
- Brooke Shields, mum to Rowan and Grier<p> "I finally had a healthy beautiful baby girl and I couldn’t look at her, I couldn’t hold her and I couldn’t sing to her and I couldn’t smile at her. All I wanted to do was disappear and die."</p>
- Myleene Klass, mum to Ava and Hero<p> "If I'm completely honest, I find staying at home the real <a href="http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2011/06/08/myleene-klass-why-i-have-gone-back-to-work-10-weeks-after-baby-hero-born/" target="_blank">work</a>. Not only is it relentless, but also a thankless task when you've done three loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen surface a gazillion times, made the beds, and had your partner say, 'Glad you're having a day off'. Stay-at-home mums are the unsung heroes of the world. Fact!"</p>
- Tori Spelling, mum to Liam, Sella and Hattie<p> "Basically, every day is a hands-on manual. You're teaching yourself how to be a parent. You're in the trenches. So each day you know more and get more comfortable with it."</p>
- Katie Holmes, mum to Suri<p> "I just think she's amazing. I hope she's not looking at me thinking, Mom, are the terrible 30s coming on with you?"</p> <div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"> </div>
- Nicole Kidman, mum to Sunday and Faith and Isabella and Connor<p> "My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It's always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences."</p> <div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"> </div>
