Jillian Michaels impatient with her kids
OHMYGOSSIP — Jillian Michaels is an impatient mother?! The Biggest Lost star — who raises Lukensia, 2, and son Phoenix, 10 months, with her longtime partner Heidi Rhoades — admits she lacks tolerance.
“Everything right now is ‘Lu do, Lu do.’ She wants to do everything herself, but it means you have to sit there for 20 minutes while she tries to put on a shirt,” Jillian tells Fitness magazine in the April issue.
“It kills me because I’ve got to go to work. Heidi gets mad at me: ‘How else is she going to learn how to put on her shirt?’ or ‘Don’t rush her — you’re rushing her!’ It’s brutal, but I’m really trying. I guarantee it’s going to be their number one issue in therapy.
“I get up at 7 a.m. — after being up all night with the baby — and run around trying to get both kids diaper-changed, dressed and fed. Finally I’ll shower, and before I know it, I’ve got 50 e-mails to answer, and I need to leave for work.
“At the end of the day, I come home, and I’m like, ‘OK, let me bathe you, change you, feed you, read you books, put you to bed’ — wait, how am I supposed to do all this? Son of a b***h, this is hard!
“Every day I tell myself how blessed I am. I have a great life. I can’t b***h about it, because this is what I wanted. I just thought I’d be able to manage it better.
“My new motto is ‘As long as I’m winning more than I’m losing, I’m still winning!’”
