She reflected on how rewarding and filled with love these days have been, though they’ve also come with a fair share of stress. Balancing her career and motherhood, Preity’s heartfelt post captures the joyful yet challenging journey of parenting.
Preity expressed that her recent time alone with her kids left her with little personal time, making her appreciate the immense dedication and sacrifice all parents, especially single mothers and fathers, invest in raising their children.
‘I’ve hardly had a moment to myself or ended up doing any work except looking after them. This made me realize how much work & sacrifice all parents put in for their children, especially single mothers & fathers,’ she added.
