Pink previouslyraved to PEOPLEabout being Willow and Jameson’s mom. “They’re totally weird and joyful, and I’m loving every moment of it,” she said in May, of parenting. “Even the hard days are a blessing.”
She recently detailed some of those hard days when the Grammy-winning singer admitted she gets “overwhelmed all the time” as a parent, chatting about hernew partnership with the Calm appin this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
“I cry in my closet a lot,” said Pink. “Here’s the problem when you don’t have boundaries in your house — I’ll go in the shower and have a full out loud conversation with myself and I’ll turn around and Willow’s been standing there staring at me the entire time.”
“We really need to get more locks in this house,” she teased. “I try to explain to my children that me going to the bathroom is not an invitation for a family meeting.”
The “Raise Your Glass” artist, who shares her kids with husbandCarey Hart, said she relies on “the community and the village that we have to check in with her as much as I can.”
“I know that sometimes I’m going to learn more about my daughter from my friend who their daughter plays together and that’s okay,” she added.
