The journey of motherhood is one of the most special and wonderful times in the life of a woman. As a mom, women learn how to deal with many factors such as mood swings, discomfort, and raising a child well. What’s more, motherhood also helps them find themselves and even learn a lot from their kids. Being a mother is a blessing, but it’s not always true.
Don’t we all sort of hate being a mother at times? Who looks at the blown-out diaper of their infant and then remembers to treasure this little bundle of joy? Some
celebs admit that there are some specific moments in which they totally were not a fan of motherhood. Many even suffer from health issues such as depression or sleep disorders.
Below are 12 celebrity moms who shared the ugly sides of being a mom.
