Drew Barrymore explains the cons of raising her kids in the limelight
Drew Barrymore is a doting mom who deeply cares for her children.
Being a celebrity mom is complicated when her children “didn’t sign up for” choosing their parents.
Barrymore, 47, recently sat down for a chat with Playboy legend Pamela Anderson on her chat show, The Drew Barrymore Show where they discussed how hard motherhood is.
Barrymore even gave the paparazzi a warning.
The mother of two said,
“Don’t f–k with my kids. This is not OK,”
The Charlie’s Angel star also showed her disapproval of the new social media layer of parenting one’s kids.
Then, she quickly asked the Baywatch alum how she raised her two wonderful sons Brandon and Dylan.
Anderson spoke some words of encouragement to the crying host and said,
“You’re gonna get through this. You’ve got it.”
The Raw Justice actress, 55, then asked Barrymore to be careful with social media and “make sure that [her daughters] know how to make themselves safe from [a] very young age.”
The Playmate also recalled an incident where she hired somebody to be an assistant P.E. teacher so that her sons would be safe at school.
Pamela explained,
“People wanted to take them off the school yard.”
”I had to find clever ways to make them feel everything was normal [even though] I needed to know eyes were on them. I was not gonna take that chance.”
