Jennifer Lopez welcomed her twins Max and Emme just 4 months ago, and she might be feeling what any new mom can experience - the thought that you're not doing a good enough job taking care of your baby. JLo is constantly needing reassuance from husband Marc Anthony, as she's unsure of herself sometimes and wants to know she's doing things right. Marc has begged her to stop worrying so much!
Closer mag reports a source said, "Jennifer wants to be the perfect mother, but she crumbles if any normal little thing goes wrong.
"If the twins cry, she thinks it's because she's a bad mom, and bursts into tears herself."
I'm sure her mommy hormones are still out of whack - she should give herself a break. Having a baby is hard - having two at the same time - way harder! And perfection? No such thing in the world of parents and kids - not gonna find that JLo!
The source continued, "Marc had to sit her down and make her understand that she's a good mom and it's normal for babies to cry." Yup, that's what infants do - eat, poop, sleep, cry, poop, and cry and eat.
Friends are also concerned about Jennifer's strict diet and exercise routine and that her anxieties have caused health issues.
The insider said, "Jen is a total perfectionist, and she's treating motherhood the same way she goes about her career -- it's all or nothing.
"Marc is concerned that she's not eating properly or sleeping because she's obsessed with looking after the twins. If she leaves them with her own mother for a couple of hours to have some time off, she beats herself up about it and feels guilty."
Oh I've learned over the years, you have to let go of the guilt - moms, should not feel guilty about having some time to themselves. It's so important to make that time!
"Marc has forced Jen to take some time off and have a massage to unwind, but she even struggled to relax during that," the source added, "He wants her to stop worrying about the kind of mother she's being and just enjoy it."
Enjoy Jen - kids grow up way fast. Oh, I will give you one piece of advice - get some flat shoes!!!
