Kate Hudson on Parenting: ‘Some Days I Am Literally Hiding From My Kids'

kate hudson

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."

Of course,I know there's some amount of eye-rolling here,because it's hard to ignore the fact that Hudson is a wealthy actor–and therefore,因为这一特权,有更多的机会接触健康。However,that doesn't change the fact that she is still a mother,and a single mom at that.

Either way,it's important for all moms to speak their truth,regardless of their societal status and financial income.It can only help moms everywhere else to come forward with their stories as well.And that's what truly matters.
