In a recent carousel post on her Instagram handle, Witherspoon shared, “Someone asked me what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like.”
She continued, “It looked like spending a lot of time in trailers together. It looked like always being on the road together. It looked like my kids constantly giving me career advice.”
“It looked really hard sometimes,” confessed the ‘Big Little Lies’ star. “I’d cry working 14 to 17 hours, sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool. I was deliriously tired.”
“It looked like trying to say something positive about work when I got home at night, so my kids would know that my work was meaningful to me and could be fun,” she wrapped up. “In conclusion, even though it was challenging at times, having kids gave me perspective about what was important in life. Nothing was better than getting to come home and hug them and hear about their day.”
