In the podcast, Halina and Carice discuss motherhood. Halina, who has no children of her own, notes that she often hears the same thing from parents. “A lot of people say that one reason to do it is that it’s a kind of love you can never feel with anyone else, not with your mother, father, best friend, lover or loved one. Anyway, it’s me not given or I haven’t tried enough.”
Carice confirms that the love you feel as a mother is indeed very different. “I really feel that, yes. It is actually impossible to explain, because you really have to experience it. I don’t know if I really had an idea about it beforehand. But I did think: I just want to experience this .”
Now that she is a mother, she enjoys it to the fullest. But it’s not all roses and moonshine. “Nowadays I sometimes think: what the fuck did I put him on, in this world. I really didn’t think about it enough. Of course you don’t think about that at the moment supreme, but I can be very scared about that now. That I think, what else does he have to go through.”
According to Carice, you can’t really predict in advance what motherhood will be like. “I used to think, I’m not going to do it like my mother. I don’t want to be a mother so young, but a little older so that I’m ready. But I never believe that. Everyone just does something.”
