Jennifer Garner recently talked about being working mom and how she deals with the ‘guilt’ that is associated with it in a new interview on Tuesday.
It has been noted that Garner admitted that it is easy to get ‘freaked out’ over trying to balance a career and raising a family, as she is an actress/director/producer and the mother to Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11 , whom she shares with her ex Ben Affleck.
‘Working moms get such a bad… we get all freaked out because we’re told constantly “you have 18 summers,'” “you have this much time,” “time is fleeting,” and it makes you panic,’ she revealed to Access Hollywood.
‘So, if you come from a place of expansiveness instead of feeling just like “I can’t be a mom because I’m also working, and I’m supposed to be guilty all the time”, you better just lean into wherever you are any day exactly like right now just be here when your kids show up be there and we’ll have a great time.’
Jennifer further stated that her positive perspective came from her own mother, Patricia Ann Garner.
“My mom has always said to me “you’re their mom forever, don’t worry you can do your job. You’re their mom forever.
‘”I wish I had worked, I would have been a better mom. Your kids are going to be so proud of you,”‘ Jennifer explained.
‘She’s always given me that that kind of grounding in that sense,’ she added.
With such stable footing, Jennifer has been able to be a co-parenting champ with her famous ex.
