“There's been times I've been paralyzed by guilt when I've had to work crazy hours or miss a parent-teacher interview.”
“There's an identity crisis that happens when you give birth. I don't care how confident, how secure you are, how much help you have, how many kids you have. For me, it was major.”
“It took me a long time to blossom. Everyone else understood how to socialize and how to look. I didn't get the memo.”
“'Workin' Moms,' obviously, is about mothers who also work. But we're also expected to remain graceful when we return to work, and that's just impossible.”
“Stay-at-home mothers, working mothers, people are very tough on each other. I don't see that in the world of men. I don't see working men who have children, and those who don't, judging each other. I think there's a different category of expectation.”
“I knew how to come up with jokes at someone's expense really fast.”
“Are there days where I wish I was just at home with my kids? Yeah, most days. But then I look at our accomplishments, and I feel alive; I feel so proud of myself. So it's a very confusing thing to be a working parent.”
