“It can be very long days, and a lot of the time you will leave before the kids get up and then maybe not be back before they sleep. With all the parent and mom guilt that you already carry with you constantly — I am battling that a lot, all the time,” Alicia admitted when asked about how she balances an acting career with being a mom.

Alicia told the publication, “I love being a mom. I was terrified of what it is, going into it. I wasn’t really very maternal until I had my own children. But maybe even more after the second one arrived, I started to feel like, OK, I know this a little bit now. I’m a bit kinder to myself too.”
