The actress has intense working-mom guilt.
Fans will be happy to see Sandy Bullock back on the big screen, but for the actress, it's hard to be a working mom.
"Every single second of every single day … I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?" she tells Parade magazine. "But I also know that my entire life revolves around Louis."
Bullock co-stars with Melissa McCarthy in The Heat, opening June 28. McCarthy, who has two daughters — Vivian, 6, and Georgette, 3 — can relate to the working-mom woes. "It plagues me. I feel intensely guilty for working," she says in the same interview. "You have to be able to provide for your kids. But I feel like it's a weird modern phenomenon that you always feel guilty for it."
The two also denounce photos such as the one shown here.
"We're adults, and we're fair game — not that I like being photographed going in and out of school in my sweatpants. But I instinctively throw things over Louis' head. … He doesn't like [the paparazzi]. He gives them the stink-eye, and they're like, 'That's such an angry kid,' but I look at them and say, 'Only when you guys are around.' … I don't raise Louis in Hollywood. I raise him in my world. To me the good thing about living in L.A. is diversity in lifestyle choices, color and religion. I want Louis to look around and see every color under the sun. I also have the luxury of splitting my time between L.A. and Austin."
Adds McCarthy: "Strangers shouldn't be allowed to take a picture of your child and sell it for profit. They think, 'We're putting out a product,' but you're putting out a child."
