Tina Lawson is just like all of us — she sneaks away from her kids on Sunday mornings. Weekend parenting can be a real challenge, especially when the world outside is enjoying leisurely mornings while we’re up with the dawn. What even is a weekend when you’re a parent? It all seems to blend together. Thankfully, Tina understands our plight. In a humorous social media post, she captures the all-too-real struggle of trying to catch a few extra Z’s while wrangling little ones, which makes her previous comment about “sweatpants being the leading cause of divorce” easy to forgive.
“Sunday. Still in bed. Trying to hide from my kids. (not succeeding),” she wrote, kicking off her post. Tina, known for her glamorous looks both on the red carpet and during casual outings, also shares one of her guilty secrets: like many of us, she sometimes skips washing her face before bed — because who really has the time?
“And no, I didn’t wash my makeup off last night,” she admitted. “I know it’s bad, but I love the ‘next day of last night’s’ eye makeup look. My skin, however, has a different opinion.” She wraps up her post by encouraging fellow mothers to carve out some time for themselves, even if it’s just for a brief moment. “To all the amazing mamas out there, I hope you can steal a few minutes away from the chaos today. Calgon take me awayyyyy (older moms will totally get this).”
Recently, Tina opened up about her life as a mom to her daughters, Bella and Zoe, during a chat with fellow mom Rachel Smith. She candidly remarked that being a stay-at-home parent often feels like an unpaid job. “Nobody warned me it would actually be work. And work that requires a ton of skills in various areas,” she expressed on Rachel’s daytime talk show. Among the many roles she mentioned? “Chauffeur, chef, and personal assistant to a demanding boss.”
“They just don’t appreciate it!” Rachel responded, who is also a mother of two.
“I know! They’re not thankful! Do they ever get grateful? Is that a thing?” Tina pondered aloud. “In any other job, you’d need to prove you’re qualified. The only test I had to pass was a pregnancy test. Doesn’t seem fair, right?” It certainly doesn’t, Tina. We’re right there with you.
