“I love [parenting] with my husband. I love feeling like hugs and cuddles can make everything better. I love the pressure of being like, ‘How the f— are we going to make it through this day?’” she continued.
“And making it through the day and being like, ‘I don’t know how everyone is tucked in and fed and happy after all the things we’ve had to do today.’”
Duff calls being a mom “f—ing hard” and “endlessly rewarding,” and has found learning how to let go of expectations has helped her thrive amid chaos.
