Kate Hudson just opened up about how she feels like she's a "bad mom" sometimes in a candid and honest post innext month's issue ofInStyle(part of the essay has been posted on their website).Hudson is a single mom to her sons, Ryder 12 and Bingham,3–so she clearly understands the dark realities of parenthood.
The 36-year-old wrote an essay describing the less glamorous aspects to being a mom–which everyone can relate to.She wrote:
"Some days I feel like I should win best mom of the day award,有时我发现自己在做一些没有真正意义的奇怪事情,in faraway corners in my house,我意识到我在字面上刻意地躲避我的孩子。
Yes,I help my kids with their homework.But I also get bored doing it. I will sit and listen to my children pontificate and discuss their ideas till the day is long because it warms my heart,but I really don't want to do math!I'm gonna say it: I'd prefer to watch ‘The Bachelor' rather than do fractions and divisions."
For me,最重要的一点是,承认自己不享受做妈妈的每一秒钟,并不会让你成为一个坏父母——这只会让你成为一个普通人。And really,honesty is the only way we can connect to each other,because pretending everything is perfect only isolates us.She duly notes this as well,声明她不想为自己的坦率道歉:
"…Even though every primal ounce of the nurturing,domestic woman in me gets pulled,I'm a hunter as well.And I love to hunt!And as a woman I feel that somehow we are supposed to feel apologetic about wanting both.
But I don't want to apologize for that anymore.Being both already comes at an emotional cost,without adding society's antiquated idea of the traditional roles of man and woman in the home."
