Kate Winslet. We all know her as that redhead from James Cameron’s Titanic. But not only a multiple-award-winning actress, Kate Is also a mom of three kids from three different husbands. Her first child, adorable daughter Mia, she shares with her first husband, Jim Threapleton. Her oldest son, Joe, is with Sam Mendes. Finally, she has a son, Bear Blaze, with her current husband, Edward Abel Smith. That’s one big blended family. And yet, somehow, she just makes it all work.
It takes a strong woman to be able to handle a blended family. Here’s her secret to making all of it work just right.
And then, Winslet summed up what it's like to be a mom -- whether you're a Hollywood star, a stay-at-home parent, someone who works outside the home, or any combination of the above -- in one perfect statement:
"There's something really empowering about going, 'Hell, I can do this! I can do this all!' That's the wonderful thing about mothers, you can because you must, and you just DO."
Amen. While we certainly wish for more time and less stress, that is one excellent way of looking at parenthood.
And that’s exactly why Kate Winslet notoriously does not use any social media. And as she leads by example, she makes sure that her children don’t use them either.

She wants her kids to have a normal childhood, as she thinks that the little things that one remembers from their childhood is the most important.
