Gwen Stefani: "Being A Mum Is Hard"

10:03, Tuesday, 4 September 2012

Gwen Stefani appears on the cover of the October issue of ELLE Magazine and has told the publication of the pressures of being a mother of two and a singer.

TheNo Doubt star explained: "Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way. [They want] to have time to be themselves as well but, um it's really hard, there's a price to pay.

"Like today, I'm here talking to you and my son is at the beach. It would be super fun to watch his little four-year-old chunky legs running around, you know."

Talking about the work/life balance, she went on to state: "It's not possible. There are always days that somebody suffers

"The only thing I really worry about is, again - like, I keep bringing it up because it's my biggest stress - how do I do this and that? How do I do both? So that's like the constant battle that I have every day. I do worry about that all the time."

Stefani also spoke about trying to juggle being a singer, a fashion designer, a wife and mother: "I've missed the last couple of fashion weeks because of school. I can't leave the kids, I can't miss the first week of kindergarten. I just can't.

"He's [hubby Gavin Rossdale] home now for, like, seven days, so just him being home makes everything different. In a good way. But also in a hard way because it changes everythin! g."
