Weekend Reading {Sarah Jessica Parker}

Sarah Jessica Parker On Motherhood, Third 'Sex And The City' Movie

Sarah Jessica Parker, who stars in I Don’t Know How She Does It, opens up to PARADE about marriage, kids, and…Sex and the City 3! “I didn’t plot a future like this, although I know some people do,” she says.

Parker, 46, gets real about what her life is really like, discussing everything from her marriage to actor Matthew Broderick to life with her son, James Wilkie, 8, and her 2-year-old twin girls, Tabitha and Loretta.


Her 8-year-old son, James Wilkie, wants to be an actor, and he’s eager to start auditioning. 
“I don’t want him to do it until after he goes to college: But part of me thinks maybe it’s better if he knows the truth now about how hard it is to be a working actor. I don’t know that he grasps what it took to get us here.”

On the difficulty of balancing career and motherhood.
“We’ve had two occasions recently where both Matthew and I were working, and it was so hard on the kids. Especially James Wilkie, because he can really articulate how he feels about our absence. On the other hand, there are big chunks of time when we’re home a lot more than conventionally working parents. So you hope to make up for it.” 

On fraternal twins Loretta and Tabitha.
“They’re talking, they’re running, they need me. Loretta is deeply inquisitive: ‘Do you see that, do you hear that, Mama?’ She constantly checks that we are connecting with her.” Her sister is the family princess: “Tabitha does not give; she receives.”
