Drew Barrymore Motherhood Struggles: Torn Between Her Children, Blended Actress And Hardworking Mom Says She Has No Time To Stop While Promoting New Movie

For Drew Barrymore, motherhood is surely a tall order. It is definitely not easy being a mom.

For the mother of 2, the hardest part of Drew Barrymore's motherhood is splitting her attention between her two daughters, Frankie and Olive. Frankie is just one month old while Olive will be turning 2 years old pretty soon. Since Olive still needs to be closely attended to, having another kid to look after could put the actress' time management skills to the test. Drew shares the parenting challenges with husband, Will Kopelman.

During an interview for People magazine, the actress was asked on what she considers as the topmost challenge of Drew Barrymore's motherhood. "Just being split. They're awake and asleep at different times, or awake at the same time, and it's a juggling act a little bit."

The actress also mentioned their desire was more of giving Olive a new brother or sister, and not just a new playmate. Drew admitted that having a sibling has been her long-time desire ever since she was still a child. She longed for one whom she could count on and she's happy that her children are blessed with that.

Drew says, "I wanted Olive to have a sibling because I really would have liked that in my life." "Olive loves Frankie and just wants to hang out with her all the time. She wants to feed her. She's super into it. That's now. I'm sure things will ebb and flow," the actress and hardworking mom added. Drew even proudly shares photos of their new baby, together with Olive and Will.

Meanwhile, Drew juggles parenting duties with work functions as she is in the middle of promoting her new flick, Blended, with Adam Sandler. The 39-year-old actress admitted that her close bond with Adam helped in making it easier for her to get back to work.
