@brutamerica: British popstar Lily Allen reflected on how having children changed her. In an interview with the Radio Times podcast, the “Smile” crooner shared jokingly, “I never really have a strategy when it comes to career, but yes, my children ruined my career.” She continued, “It really annoys me when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can’t. Some people choose their career over their children and that’s their prerogative.” Allen shared that she chose to step back from her career to take care of her two daughters, a reaction to her own upbringing with parents she says were “quite absent.” Allen shares parents, film producer Alison Owen and actor Keith Allen, with her brother, “Game of Thrones” actor Alfie Allen. “I feel like that really left some nasty scars that I’m not willing to repeat,” Allen said. “I chose stepping back and concentrating on them, and I’m glad that I have done that because I think they’re pretty well-rounded people.” Photo: Alan Chapman/Dave Benett/Getty Images

Finally women are allowed to be honest. I’m so sick of this culture that pushes being a parent so hard. I want to know the reality not just the good parts

A woman blaming her kids for her lack of success is nothing new. They always imagine their looks and desirability will last forever.

I’d choose children (future) over career. Bet she does too (especially 10 yrs from today)

Her career didn’t have longevity anyhow. She had a few pop hits. She could have hired help. She’s just complaining
