Anna Faris Tells It Like It Is: Why She Didn’t Fit In With the Mom Crowd
- Anna’s honest talk about parenting
- The struggle to find her tribe
- Why being a ‘Scary Movie’ star doesn’t make parenting easier
We just saw some really honest words from Anna Faris. Parenting is hard. Really hard. Even if you are a famous actress, it doesn’t mean you have it all figured out.
The Scary Movie star admitted she had trouble relating to other parents. While raising her son with her ex, Chris Pratt, she felt like an outsider. She wasn’t quite sure how to approach the whole mom scene. It’s a vibe we can all understand.
Sometimes the parenting world has a very specific aesthetic. It can feel like everyone else has the perfect schedule and the perfect outfits. Bright colors. Organized bags. Anna didn’t feel that way. She felt a bit lost in the crowd. It makes her feel so much more human to us.
Speaking of different ways to raise kids, we recently looked at Gisele Bündchen’s Parenting Style and how she keeps things healthy. Every mom has her own path. There is no single right way to do it.
Life moves fast. One minute you’re watching Jessica Pegula on the tennis court, the next you’re trying to figure out a school bake sale. It is a lot to handle. We love that Anna is being so open about her feelings. It helps everyone else feel less alone.
Our Take
We think Anna is a total gem for saying this. Fitting in is overrated. Her quirky style is what we love most about her anyway.
Whether it is drama like the rumors about Mrunal and Yashasvi dating or another Morrissey Vegas cancellation, being real is the best way to be. Anna, we would totally sit with you at the lunch table!
