Pamela Anderson Reveals Why Working Moms ‘Beg for Forgiveness’ from Their Adult Children
Pamela Anderson has been working in Hollywood for over 30 years, being an iconic character in Baywatch and, most recently, in the raw, beautiful film The Last Showgirl. While promoting her film alongside co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, she talked about the reality of being a working mom, and how it can affect your relationship with your adult children.
In a recent interview with Parade, Anderson talked about being a working mom, saying, “There’s no perfect way to do it. We’re all gonna face our adult children and beg for forgiveness.”
Honestly, that’s so dang accurate. There is no perfect way to be a working mom, to balance it all, or even to parent children.
She added, “It’s still always heartbreaking. You just feel responsible.”
However, if you openly communicate with your kids, that’s a great step; and no matter what, parents do feel responsible. But it’s clear Anderson has raised some wonderful children!
However, in the same interview, Anderson gushed about her two sons, saying that her kids aren’t mad at her for being a working mom, and have only encouraged her. “[My] kids are so wonderful when they look at me and they say, ‘Mom, you have nothing to be ashamed of.'”
How sweet!
For those who don’t know, Anderson and her ex-husband Tommy Lee welcomed two sons named Brandon Thomas, born in 1996, and Dylan Jagger, born in 1997.
Via Yahoo Life!, Anderson talked about motherhood, and how powerful it is to raise a family, in her newsletter post. She said, “To be a mother is a divine calling, a sacred duty. We are chosen as vessels for the souls that seek to return home, and it is our responsibility to nourish and protect them. Motherhood is not a role that one can take lightly. It requires stability, emotional and financial readiness, and the knowledge that once we become mothers, we are forever mothers. We must be prepared to raise our children, even alone, if necessary, to be their rock and their safe haven. We hold their lives in our hands.”
