If even Megan Fox feels guilty about parenting, let’s just give up now.
The Transformers star told Parenting magazine she never feels like she’s the perfect mom to sons Bodhi, 4 months, and Noah, almost 2, even though she’s cut her moviemaking down to one film per year.
Fox said she has cut down on her hours on the set so she can spend more time with her boys, but feels it’s important to keep making movies so that she can support them in the future (next up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, out in August.)
So she works 10-20 days a year and feels guilty? Gwyneth Paltrow knows how that is.
