00:00And I want to be there for my older children, who I think need me now more than ever.

00:04They need you more in the teen years than any other decade.

00:08Literally.

00:09And so I've been battling with that in my head.

00:10Every year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, like, what's

00:16your plan?

00:17What's your goals?

00:18Blah, blah, blah.

00:19And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like, I want to be a stay-at-home

00:22mum.

00:23That is like my dream.

00:24My ultimate dream.

00:25I want to create...

00:26The life you want to live.

00:27Yeah.

00:28I just want to be with my kids.

00:29It's conflicting.

00:30Because I also want to fulfill my dreams and my goals and the things that I'm passionate

00:33about.

00:34Because if I don't have that, will I feel, you know, unfulfilled?

00:38So what I'm trying to do at this point is make sure everything that I work on, I can

00:41work on 90% of the time at home.

00:44And then just do passion projects outside of the house.

00:46Shoot off film and come back.

00:47Exactly.

00:48And then try and be around for them more.

00:49Like, I actually, I love it.

00:50Like, I love being a mum.

00:51It's weird.

00:52And not weird, because I know everyone loves being a mum, but...

00:53No, they don't.

00:54Not everyone does.

00:55I've got a lot of friends who are like, I would rather be at work and then come home

01:01and take over.

01:02And that's fine as well.

01:03That was, that was me pretty much after, because I was at home for Ben and Dan.

01:07And then we switched.

01:08Okay.

01:09And then Jim was at home.

01:10And then, then I went out to work.

01:12He was the park dad, the reading in the bedtime.

01:14I'm the, let's go shopping.

01:16Yeah.

01:17I'm that mum.

01:18Terrible.

01:19I'm like, but I'm also the disciplinarian in the family.
