In fact, I woke up this morning, and I was like, \u2018They\u2019re getting themselves dressed.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>Drew also does what she can to help, such as leaving out the girls\u2019 shoes and backpack in the same place every day. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: \u201cI would try to encourage them to do it, and if they didn\u2019t, I was like, \u2018Screw it, I\u2019m not gonna stand on ceremony that you didn\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019m gonna set them here, and so at least the shoes and the backpack were in the same place in the hallway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDrew added: \u201cI didn\u2019t know about systems before, and it helped me exponentially, so whatever works for you, do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIt\u2019s not the first time the Charlie\u2019s Angels star has opened up about how difficult she often finds parenting. <\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on the Chicks in the Office podcast back in 2023, she sighed: \u201cAll those parents who have it all together, and they\u2019ve got hygiene and nutrition and schedules and boundaries, God bless you. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know any of that stuff when I had my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nShe further spoke about the toll that parenting can sometimes take on her as she said: \u201cWhen I get burnout from trying to mom really hard and work really hard, I go, \u2018You know what? This isn\u2019t good\u2019. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd I know that at the end of the day, the most important thing in life is your relationships. If I\u2019m not putting that first, then I\u2019m on the wrong track.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo I talk to my kids. And I do try to show them that the more you work on yourself, the happier you\u2019re going to be, the more your friendships will thrive. \u2028<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe all need tools to navigate the world, and asking for help is everything.\u201d<\/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\/drew-barrymore-struggles-chaotic-mum-mornings-1452020.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 October 2026 Drew Barrymore has admitted trying to get her two daughters up and ready for school in the morning is a \u201cs*** show\u201d.
