It’s Tough Being a Working Mom Like Megan Fox

Megan Fox tells Parents.com that being a working mom is hard. Gwyneth Paltrow knows exactly what she means. *Fistbump*

Now that you’re a mom, how does that affect how you pick your projects?

The main thing it does is it affects how much I’m willing to work. I’ve never been an extraordinarily ambitious girl or career-oriented, but especially once I got pregnant with my first son and now [having] my second, it’s so hard to be a working mom especially when your heart is not in your work, when your heart is with your family. I have to make one movie a year because I have to invest in their future and I have to be able to pay their way through college and be able to provide for them. I’m looking for movies that will shoot in Los Angeles, for projects where I’m part of an ensemble so I can shoot in and out in 10-20 days. It’s all about trying to spend as little time away from my kids as possible.

Those 3 months out of the year where you shoot a movie that pays you millions is tough when you’re a mother. So tough that Megan Fox has to find ensemble projects that she can finish shooting in 20 days. She does know there are 365 days in a year and that millions of moms over the world work more than 260 of them, right? This is the very definition of first world problems. It ranks right up there with your imported japanese bidet only being able to shoot cold water.
