Chrissy Teigen Reveals Why She No Longer Worries If Her Kids Love John Legend More
When it comes to being a mom, Chrissy Teigen doesn’t worry about some of the things she used to.
The mom of two revealed that one of those things is trying to figure out which parent her kids love more. Teigen, who is married to singer John Legend, talked with Today Parents about her change in perspective from when she had Luna, 3, compared to her current outlook on the matter with 1-year-old son Miles.
“When Luna was a little baby, I would get so sad. I remember being bummed out because I felt like she didn’t love me as much as she loved John. It was the dumbest silliest thing to worry about,” Teigen recalled. “Now, when Miles pulls away from me, I’m not taking it the same way. I know how strong Luna and my bond is, and I know Miles and I will be there too. You can’t take anything personally.”
Teigen has also developed “thicker skin” when it comes to social media critics. The model revealed that she doesn’t allow mommy shamers to get to her as bad as she used to. In fact, she’s even learned exactly what she needs to post to get under their skin.
“Any time I post a picture of them holding ribs or eating sausage, I get a lot of criticism,” the 34-year-old explained. “Vegans and vegetarians are mad and feel that we’re forcing meat upon them at a young age. They freak out."
She also noticed that several other details stir a lot of chatter in her social media comments.
“If they get a glimpse of the car seat there is a lot of buckle talk,” Teigen added. “Maybe for one half of a second, the strap slipped down. And TV is another big one. We have TV on a lot in my house. John and I work on television; we love watching television."
Although she doesn’t deny that the comments still affect her, she’s learned to be easier on herself and she hopes that other moms will do the same.
“Hearing that nine out of 10 moms don’t feel like they’re doing a good enough job is terrible,” she said. “We're all so worried that we're not doing all that we can, when we really are."
