Yes! *insert eye roll emoji*

Is she trying to tick people off?

Please, continue telling us about your torturous lifestyle, while blowing your delicate nose in hemp seed encrusted, $100 bills. *snort*

Ugh, Gwyneth. I think she should've just spoken about her experiences and not made any comparisons to other mothers. I can see how traveling on a whim and 14 hour days can be hard, but seriously? She does one movie a year. She has a buttload of money and help. She needs to go sit in a corner and get a new publicist.

Haha ok gwenyth.

Good thing she doesn't have to "work" those other 50 weeks a year! But seriously, I think her major mistake here is comparing herself to any other mom -- being a mom is difficult and everyone faces their own challenges.

I wonder if she even realizes how out of touch she is.

I don't know why she felt the need to compare her life to the life of anyone else. She has her head in the clouds, that one.

Wow, I never really had an thought much about her.. until now, and not in a good way.

@photojane: This.

I never had a real opinion about her until recently. Between that story about her goop outfit totaling $450,000, or something obscene, and then this... "how to lose friends and alienate people."

Bitch be trippin'

I'd love to hear what her mom has to say about this since she's a working actress too. Did her mom have the same Hollywood struggles as she does (sarcasm font)?

Her head has always been in the clouds so this latest interview is no surprise!

Having the option to retire tomorrow and still have millions of dollars must be really difficult. Maybe its a publicity stunt to draw away from the split.

I love it when people take comments by anyone, especially celebrities out of context. It doesn't matter how much money you have. When you travel as a working parent, you still miss your kids the same. I have no feelings towards Paltrow good or bad but really think people are blowing her comment way out of proportion.

From personal experience, it IS easier to sit at my desk for my day job than it is to travel for work when I have to. She's right. When you're home, you can get stuff done. When you're traveling (or on-set for her) you don't get that option. So then you come home and have to do 5 days worth of chores you missed time doing during the week on the weekend, the only time you get with your family.

Sure the experience of an average working and traveling parent is different from a movie stars, but I agree, it IS different. And that's what she said.

"I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."

Ba-hahaha! She's ridiculous, isn't she?!! Does she actively want people to hate her!?

Still, it must genuinely be hard not to see her children for days on end. Yeah, she has all the paid staff to help her, the £450k outfits and the acupuncture at 9.30 every night (she urges us to try it!!) but I'd forgo all of that for that moment every morning when I walk into my girl's room and she beams. That hour, in which I feed her porridge and sing Twinke Twinke. And bathtime giggles - every single night.

PS - DH has just reminded me that she could forgo all of that to spend time with her children and still be worth millions of dollars. Good point!

^ burn.

I do think @mediagirl has a point, but it still comes off as very out of touch. If she were a politician, her campaign would be over now.
