Bouncing Back

Taking it slow! Hudson opened up about her post-baby body journey on Instagram in November 2018, writing, "I wanna be around a long time for these three kiddos of mine. I know that some are curious about what that means and for all you moms (whether working or not working moms) it is the most challenging thing in the world to balance kids and personal time. Let’s be honest, kids take the number one position and it’s haaaaard to make the time for yourself."

Down on Herself

In April 2016, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star told InStyle, "Some days I feel like I should win Best Mom of the Day Award, and some days I find myself doing strange things that don’t have any real purpose, in faraway corners in my house, and I realize I am literally and deliberately hiding from my children."

Priorities

The actress went on to say, "Yes, I help my kids with their homework. But I also get bored doing it.

I’m gonna say it: I’d prefer to watch The Bachelor rather than do fractions and divisions."

Honesty Hour

"[I'd have] anywhere between four and six [kids]. I just love them," she told Jenny Hutt in 2016. "They’re a pain in my ass and they’re the best pain in my ass ever. I just love every bit of it. I love the insanity. I love the chaos. I love laughing with them."

On Her Own

Hudson told Marie Claire in 2016: "I don't try to sugarcoat things. I'll say, 'I'm doing the best I can.' I like cooking, I like presenting. I like it to be an experience and [my kids] help me with it, but if they want something after that, I'll be like, 'Look, I'm placing a meal out for you like a king. I can't do everything. I'm going to have to be the OK mom.'"

Tough Times

"Being pregnant, I got so much advice I just started tuning it out," Hudson told Blackfilm in 2004. "If one more person told me what I had to do when the baby comes, I was going to shoot them. As a parent, I have such great parents, and they're my role models as a parent. ... I can only hope that when Ryder and the next kids come they like me as much as I like my mom. I learned from my parents. They're my biggest support system right now."
