During an appearance on iHeart’s Table for Two with Brice Bozzi podcast, the A Quiet Place star said,

“This year, I’m not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is nine, so we’re in the last year of single digits,”

“And I just feel [like] there are cornerstones to their day that are so important when they’re little,”
“And it’s, ‘Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?’ And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones.”

Blunt noted that there was a great emotional cost to her and her family when she does time-consuming projects.

She revealed that she is very prone to guilt.

Emily explained,

“I think maybe all mothers are,”
“You’re just prone to feeling bad for, God forbid, wanting something outside of being a mother.”

Blunt added,

“I am huge advocate for it — I’m a huge advocate for women being ambitious. It’s just dreams with purpose, it’s not an ugly word,”

Emily does not want her daughters to join Hollywood

Emily’s shocking decision comes after she confessed that she doesn’t want her daughters to follow in her footsteps.

The 40-year-old star said that the cutthroat industry can be very disappointing for female stars because of its superficial element.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Blunt said,

“My toes curl when people tell me, ‘My daughter wants to be an actress.’ I want to say, ‘don’t do it,’”
“Because it’s a hard industry and it can be very disappointing. A lot of people tell you not to take things personally — but it’s completely personal, especially when you’re being judged on how you look. So you just have to endure that side of things.”

Blunt admitted that her kids are completely disassociated with her fame and stardom.

She told the publication,

“When I see myself up on a billboard, I have this complete dissociation with it… I’m like, who’s that? And I can see my children doing the same — they might say, oh, there’s mama, but it’s not exciting for them,”

Blunt added,

“What’s exciting for them is when I can pick them up from school and take them swimming.”
