Women lie to women a lot.
When I was young, everyone would tell me, oh, you know, being a mother, it's natural and you will see it's so easy and you will know exactly what to do and you will never feel alone again.
And there will be this unconditional love that you will feel and that will make you so strong.
And also, my mother was so extraordinary.
And she was so much of a mother.
She was a wolf.
She was a bear.
She was taking care of us all the time.
And I don't know, I was like, OK, maybe I have that in me.
Maybe I can be this kind of mother.
But I was not.
And it was very difficult for me when I had my first child.
I was very depressed and I didn't have any time for me.
But I have to say that I was very lucky to have the husband that I have who understood that immediately.
And who, I mean, in my couple and in my family, we are absolutely not in traditional role.
I mean, I'm not the traditional mother and he's not the traditional father anymore.
He takes care of the children a lot.
And he's doing all the things that mothers are supposed to do, even if I hate this idea.
But he's the one taking care of the food, of the doctor, of the pyjama and all the things.
And I'm the one who is very often locked in her office.
