As 'People' magazine reports, the model and actress shared that she wondered when she would reach the point where her two daughters – Rowan, 20, and Grier, 18 – would be grown and living independently. If they do, they will feel "relieved".
Instead, they discovered that mothers never really stop worrying about their children. "You go on vacation and all you think about is where they are and what they're doing. It feels like there's really no respite," he said.
"It's like people say, 'Oh, this is going to be great,'" he told People.Just when they start being able to walk. You don't need to carry them everywhere. They're walking everywhere and you're like 'I'm worried about them falling down the stairs, into the pool and into the street, and then they'll be able to walk.'
He further added, “And at every step, you think it is going to be a relief. Then a new set of worries comes in your face.,
Even though her daughters are entering adulthood, 'Mother of the Bride' Sta says she still doesn't feel like she can overcome the anxiety and mental fatigue that comes with being a parent.
She described the experience of having children, saying, "What's the expression? Wearing your heart on your sleeve? It's like a necklace suit. A full-body suit of heart."
In September, when Grier leaves for college, she and Hinchey, 60, will find themselves living in an empty house — a prospect Shields says she was initially looking forward to but now finds a little strange.
"(I'm not ready.)I thought I would get relief, but I don't know. I'll see you when I get there, but I think I'm just going to be... The idea of being in the house 24 hours a day with these people that I raised, it's just foreign... It's completely foreign “It's like going into the field,” he said.
