On an interview with 'More' magazine, Jodie Foster confessed of her parenting life.
Jodie Foster claims motherhood can be a thankless task. The Oscar-winning actress, who is mother to adopted sons Charlie, nine, and Kit, six, has confessed she finds parenting extremely hard work.
Jodie said in an interview with America's More magazine: "Every once in a while I'll have one of those days when I've fed the fish, cleaned 10 poops from the patio, taken the cat to the vet, sewn my son's stupid karate stars on until my fingers bleed and made sure that he has everything, and he wakes up and goes, 'Oh, what's for breakfast?' He doesn't know, and why should he? Right? But there's absolutely no sort of acknowledgment or reward for this - except for the hope my kids will grow up to be wonderful people."
Despite her occasional frustrations, the 44-year-old star is a proud mother and loves spending as much time as she can with her kids. She said: "Charlie is reading but he'd much rather be with his friends. I like having these conversations with him where I talk about my passions and he talks about his."
The 'Silence of the Lambs' star also revealed she has no plans to have plastic surgery, despite her advancing age. Jodie said: "It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose' than, 'Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.' I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am."
When asked about the ring she wears on her wedding finger, Jodie - who refuses to discuss her private life - said: "It's Tiffany, it's an eternity ring."
