Rebecca Judd makes motherhood look very easy and very glamourous.
One look at her Instagram and raising two kids under the age of 5 looks like a breeze. A beautiful, flawless, yoga-themed breeze.
But the 31-year-old model/blogger just got real about motherhood in an interview with The Grace Tales, saying that being a mama is the hardest job in the world.
“You can feel really shitty at times and sometimes you might not think that having a newborn is the most amazing thing in the world,” she said. “That’s ok. It’s ok if it’s hard and it’s ok if you don’t enjoy yourself some days. It’s the hardest job (and the most rewarding) and some days you’ll feel crap. This doesn’t make you a bad mother, it makes you normal.”
Here’s Bec with nearly-3-year-old Oscar and teeny tiny Billie Kate.
Her favourite piece of advice? ‘Never get to busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”
That’s why Bec takes little Billie along to meetings with her – so she can do both at once.

"Never get TOO busy" not "TO busy"
What is this woman's obsession with wearing ballgowns and being photographed with her children? Please don't give mothering advice Rebecca. Women married to super-rich footballers and with full-time nannies (fact) don't get to advise. They just don't. (And I am not anti-nanny, I was one and I had one part-time for 12 months. By the time I paid her, I was working for about $10 an hour. When is this abominable government going to do the only good thing they said they were going to do and make nannies part of approved childcare for childcare rebate? Plenty of shift workers, weekend workers, parents of children with special needs and people like myself who want them at home or home after school would then use nannies and it would be a boon for training organisations and youth employment. And free up oshc places and childcare places for those who want them!! Rant over!)
Hey, I'm with you on that one. Approve nannies on the childcare rebate. I'm a shift worker and my hubby does 9-5. Sometimes I just need someone to take care if my bubba for a few hours in the arvo between me starting afternoon shift and hubby finishing work. There is no day care in the world that would do that (at least I don't think so) and I don't see the point in popping her in care all day when all I need is 3 hours!
Have you looked up a local Occasional Care Centre? They take bookings for as little as one hour and are approved for CCB and CCR. Good luck, child care is so hard!!!
