Work/life balance can be a tricky proposition, even in the best of circumstances, especially if one is a woman who wants to have kids.

However, according to the Daily Wire, actress Charlize Theron weighed the options of continuing her career or becoming a full-time mom. She found that the decision was a “no-brainer.”.

“If actress Charlize Theron was forced to choose between her career and motherhood, she said she’d pick the latter.

“The 47-year-old mom of two adopted children made the comments during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“’It’s my life, and I want to participate in it,’ Theron said when asked how she likes to “do s***” herself.”

Theron went on to discuss the pressures of being an actress with the expectations of turning out movie after movie. “And it’s easy to be like, ‘Oh, it’s one movie,’ but then it’s another movie and another. And I don’t want to sound like I’m carrying some message on my sleeve, but I do think for women, we worry [that] if we don’t work harder and we don’t keep pushing, we will never quite arrive. And it is exhausting. I never feel like, ‘Oh, I can just f***ing enjoy this.’”

While Theron has yet to decide to give up acting entirely to devote her full attention to her kids, she would certainly consider it. “I love being a mom more than I like being an actor or a producer. And I never thought I would say that. If somebody said to me tomorrow, ‘You can’t do both,’ would I be sad to give up acting? Of course. But it would be a no-brainer for me.”

At least one of Theron’s adopted children is a challenge. The biological boy announced to his mom at the age of three that he is, in fact, a girl. Unlike many other moms, Theron has decided to indulge in this outbreak of gender dysphoria. She is treating her biological son as her trans daughter.

“’Yes, I thought she was a boy, too,’ Theron told the Daily Mail in 2019. ‘Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said, ‘I am not a boy.’”

“’My job as a parent is to celebrate them and to love them and to make sure that they have everything they need in order to be what they want to be,’ the actress said of her children. ‘And I will do everything in my power for my kids to have that right and to be protected within that.’”
