So you take it a year at a time and make your decisions as a family as you go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So for the first two years, I lived in California, and they were in Connecticut. They would come out and visit, we wouldn&#8217;t go more than two weeks without seeing each other, but that was really, really hard on me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So it was all sort of, like, year by year, sort of: Where should we be? How are we gonna do this as a family? And making decisions about my career, and balancing out with our family. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And, you know, sometimes I turned down jobs just to stay at home and just so the kids could be at home, or sometimes I would leave for chunks of time, which was heartbreaking and really hard for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was really difficult. But you know that mom guilt is real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8216;The Bad Guardian&#8217; star &#8211; who enjoyed massive success in the 1990s when she played the title roles in both &#8216;Clarissa Explains It All&#8217; and &#8216;Sabrina, the Teenage Witch&#8217;  &#8211; believes that all parents feel the same way no matter what their job is.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;That&#8217;s the thing about my job; I get to be a full-time parent when I&#8217;m not working. Right now, I&#8217;m in West Virginia. I&#8217;m away from them for three weeks, but they know it&#8217;s [these] three weeks, and then the next three weeks we&#8217;re all together.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re going away together for Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But mom, guilt, I think, is real; parent guilt is real across the board, I think, no matter what you&#8217;re doing. But I do try to look at the blessing of the fact that I get to be home, driving them to school [or] be there for their birthdays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/melissa-joan-hart-makes-frank-admission-motherhood-heartbreaking-1409010.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 November 2024 Melissa Joan Hart suffers from &#8220;mom guilt&#8221;.
