'Bad Moms' star Mila Kunis, who is currently pregnant with her second child with Ashton Kutcher, recently gave out advice to all struggling mothers out there. Her advice? There is no such thing as perfection when it comes to motherhood.
"I honestly think that anyone who is trying to be a perfect mother is setting themselves up to fail. There's no such thing. Sometimes as a mum you do things that are perfect, sometimes you do things that aren't," said Kunis, as per news.com.au. Kunis has been a mother to her daughter Wyatt for 21 months now.

Kunis added that as a mother to Wyatt, she had never experienced having a perfect day. "I've had days where I've done things better than others; I've had days where I've done things worse. All in all, I'm the best mum Wyatt will ever have because I'm the only mum Wyatt will ever have."
Kunis also said that exhaustion levels when she became a mother were normal for her because as an actress, she was already used to working long hours and sleeping for much less. She compared motherhood to shooting a movie as both eventually results to being continuously tired.
In another interview with DNA India, Kunis advised mothers to trust their gut when it comes to parenting. Kunis said that all mothers are the same in feeling exhausted, overworked and scared that they are not able to take care of their children in the proper way.
The expectant mother told the Hollywood Reporter in another interview that she hopes her new movie, "Bad Moms", leaves people thinking that "it's OK to sometimes be a little selfish." Kunis again said that there is no such thing as perfection in parenting. Kunis believes that parents just have have to be the kind of parents their children need and that mothers cannot be fulfilled in their role as mothers if they are not fulfilled as a woman and wife.
