“When we were doing the schedule for the show, I was like, ‘I have to drop my kids off at school.’ And I’m always the one who puts them to bed…you just have to prioritize and juggle and make people know it’s an important thing. And don’t feel guilty about it,” she said.

“I’m never going to be that person that tries to play off like I’m some kind of Stepford wife. We’re a blended family. We work very hard at that.”

“Some days I totally hide in a bathroom and I’m crying, going, ‘Oh my God, this is a lot.’ Everybody does. Every parent does, especially when you’re like, ‘Am I screwing up my children? Or nailing it? I have no idea. I’m sure a little of both,’” she added.
