Jessica Capshaw on Raising Her Kids
Two decades and four kids into their marriage, Capshaw and her husband are pretty great at parenting now, but it didn't start out that way.
“The first couple years you actually aren’t a good snack mom. You bring the orange slices and no one likes them. Then you carry your orange slices home, and it’s sort of sad,” she told People.
“Then you realize what they really want. So you start doing that.”
Jessica Capshaw on Her Life as a Working Mother
Capshaw shared that it was a great challenge to find a balance and that one had to "work really really hard." She also does not believe in the existence of a "work-life balance" of a working mom.
“I’ve always said this: There is no balance to being a working-outside-the-house mom. There’s probably not even a balance to being a working-inside-the-house mom," she said.
She revealed that one has to give up on certain things to fulfill their job as a working mother.
