Sarah Jessica Parker Not Striving for Perfection

As she juggles a busy career with an even busier personal life Sarah Jessica Parker says she has two very tiny allies in her effort to do it all: Twins Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, 6 months.
“At the moment the twins sleep a good six or seven hours, and wake up as late as 7 a.m.,” she raves to the Daily Mail. “They are being incredibly cooperative!”
Along with the girls’ big brother James Wilkie, 7, Sarah Jessica says that her children have been — and always will be — the priority. “You do everything you can to make sure they are content,” she explains. “And you get into bed at night thinking of all the things you did wrong, and you hope things will be better the next day.”
Opining that “women tend to put more pressure on themselves to do everything exceptionally well,” Sarah Jessica says that she isn’t striving for perfection, something she describes as “an impossibility.”
“But most working mothers probably do a lot better than I do, with far less support than I have. So I don’t think that I’m any champion. I muddle through the best that I can.”
Life as a family of five with husband Matthew Broderick is “daunting,” but Sarah Jessica is quick to point out that the couple “welcome the chaos.” She adds,
“And as they get older there will be more chaos, once they start talking and crawling around and getting into mischief. It will be insane, it will be wonderful — and it is exactly what we wanted.”
