Olivia Wilde

Why aren't you always, you know, the one picking me up from school and at home and like making dinner?

I was trying to trad wife my mom and she was not having it.

And she let me come to the realization on my own of like, girl, you're going to understand the value of this example as you get older.

And all my friends wanted to have my mom.

They would come over and sit and just sit at the kitchen table with her and tell her their hopes and dreams.

And she took everyone seriously.

And that...

That is also something I feel like you have from what I've observed.

It's like your mom clearly took you seriously as a person and was like, go for it.

And I think that was the greatest example.

She also was in a male-dominated industry showing me how to blast through those walls constantly.

She worked her ass off.

She dealt with so much, I'm sure, judgment for not being...

she was going to really dangerous places.

So my mom was, my parents were both war correspondents.

So it wasn't like she was just like missing ballet because she was at, you know, a board meeting.

She was like in Afghanistan.

Like it was, she faced a lot of judgment for being a mother who's putting her life on the line for journalism.

And

it was like she couldn't fucking win it was like you know you can be a mom who's who's present and giving a great example to your daughters and your son my brother's way younger so it was for a long time as me and my sister but then you get you know then you get shit for like not being there for everything and that is something that any working mother faces and you will too
