Jennifer Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, are 17-years-old now, so they don’t exactly need their mom to be around 24/7 these days.
But when they were younger? Well, Lopez believes they would have liked to see more of her, but she was trying to balance being a mom and being a huge superstar.
The 55-year-old singer talked Spanish newspaper El País about the guilt she felt as a working mom…
I was a working mom when they were little. They probably didn’t get as much of me as they wanted, right? Because when you’re a working mom — and so many working moms out there know this — you always have that guilt, ‘I should have been around more. I shouldn’t have left at all. I should’ve just stayed home.’ But they got the experience that they got. And you always do your best as a mom.
She does say that looking back now, she does believe they had a good childhood. She loves the fact that they got to travel the world with her while she toured.
What’s that quote again? “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,” so if you have the means to travel with your kids, please do so!
It’s worth noting that insiders say Lopez is often hard on herself. They say she’s done a wonderful job in motherhood.
