Tori Spelling recently talked with Modern Mom as she served up ice cream at Baskin Robbins on bump day about her career, her family, and what comes next.
Some highlights:
On her definition of a Modern Mom?
"A modern mom can be anything she wants to be. For so long, there was this perception of what a mom is and always these limits about what she can and can’t do. I feel like now that I am about to be a mom of two, that I can do it all – and I love it. I don’t think a modern mom has to compromise. I don’t think you have to choose career or family. You can have both. I never believed that until I was full blown in the middle of it. But I haven’t compromised for a second with my son. I know I’m in a very fortunate position. I know a lot of moms aren’t. But I think I’ve found a great balance.
"I also think men now really step up. Dean is the most hands-on dad I’ve ever seen. All my girlfriends have husbands who have stepped up too. I think this really empowers women to take her career back, do what she wants to do and still be a great mom and a great wife."
On balancing motherhood and work:
“Well, I’m very fortunate because I’m on a reality show with my family. I love going to work everyday because I don’t have to leave my husband and son. They’re all part of the show. It’s like a dream come true because I get to be with Dean and Liam all day. I rarely have to leave Liam. I could see doing my show, Tori and Dean forever in some ways.”
On her greatest achievement:
“Having my babies! Definitely. Nothing compares. I just stare at Liam every single day. I hope I don’t give him a complex! I keep wondering if he’s thinking, “Why’s this woman staring at me?” I can’t believe that he came out of me, that I gave him life. Men can be fabulous fathers. But I feel sad for them sometimes because they will never know the joy of creating a life within you. I could cry right now!
"And now, the second time being pregnant, I appreciate it more. The first time I was always thinking, “I don’t feel good,” or, “Oh, I’m getting so big.” You focus on what’s happening to you. But when I had Liam, I felt a loss – he wasn’t inside me anymore. This time I appreciate every little kick, every little moment. I talk to her. The best part of being pregnant is I never feel alone.”
