Demi Moore and Drew Barrymore discuss how their Carbon Copy Upbringings affected their views on motherhood

Demi Moore is a mother of three daughters, whereas Drew Barrymore is a mother of two.

Demi Moore and Drew Barrymore are relatable in a lot of ways.

The Drew Barrymore Show airs on Friday, September 20. Barrymore, 49, and Moore, 61, discussed openly how their challenging childhoods in the public eye shaped their perspectives on motherhood. Following the birth of their children, both actresses took a work hiatus and disclosed that they awaited their children’s “green light” before returning to the industry.

Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, are Barrymore’s daughters. “I wanted to get to the place where my kids were like, ‘You can go back out there and do your thing,'” she added.

Then, as the two talked about how difficult it was to balance work and parenting at the same time, Barrymore said, “This is what working parents all go through — the juggle.” It’s incredibly hard and you don’t feel like you’re progressing anywhere.

I believe that throughout that period, we are severely condemning ourselves and making ourselves feel inadequate and unworthy everywhere we go.”

She continued, “It’s so good to connect with other people” about the matter after speaking with Moore. Tallulah Belle, 29, Scout LaRue Willis, 32, and Rumer Glenn Willis, 35, are her daughters.

Barrymore remarked, “It’s my favorite thing in the world,” to her children’s simple role of mother. “Plus, it’s a childhood.”
