Julia Roberts: I just want to be a stay-at-home mum
Julia Roberts has hinted that she may quit Hollywood to focus on raising her family.
Julia has three children - two year old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and five month old Henry - with husband Danny Moder and told Vanity Fair recently that while she’d love to work with Johnny Depp at some point: “My dream is to be a highly fulfilled and productive stay-at-home mom and wife.”
“The highest high would be growing our food that I then make, and then composting and growing more - that kind of circle.”
She added that she and Danny are unlikely to have any more children in the near future “because at this point I’m having so much fun with [these three]. You only have so much energy and you want to put so much energy into each child. … And they’re a really good trio, these three.”
But that’s not to say she wouldn’t mother others: “I see and hear what’s happening to Britney Spears and it’s all I can do not to move her into my guesthouse and say, ‘Okay, this is how it’s going to be!’ And just take care of her.”

I think we might want to change the expression ’stay-at-home’ mother given that in a highly mobile society most women with small kids take them on so many outings that the kids are out and about more than were they in daycare. Seriously.
Julia Roberts is a great role model for someone who is clever, beautiful and has lots of career options, who chooses to prioritize for a time, the care of small children she loves. Women who make this choice are not ’staying at home’ which sounds so vegetable-like as if you are sick from school. They are working at home, nurturing another generation.
