Even celeb moms don't miss out on this lesson.

As we all know, our priorities change when we become parents. We go
our whole lives only caring about our own wants and needs, and then a
baby comes along, and suddenly we're expected to make him or her the
center of our universe. It's not an easy transition
to make, but as celeb mom Jessica Biel reveals in a new interview, it's
one that can teach you about what it really means to focus on someone
other than yourself.
[post_ads]In the upcoming August 2017 issue of Marie Claire,
the actress and mom to Silas, 2, with husband Justin Timberlake, opens
up about motherhood saying, "You think you're a selfless person, and
then you realize you're not. These little people come around, and they
require so much, and your schedule is really not your own, nor is it
important anymore, and it's very clear that it's your life now revolving
around this dude. I'm not that person who feels like, 'Oh, my whole
life changes for my kid,' but it does."
Working moms, especially those who have constant scheduling conflicts because of kid duties, know this all too well.
In the interview, Jessica also dishes on why she thinks her 2012 marriage to Justin Timberlake
continues to run strong: "We have similar values; we believe in
loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things.
Also, in the business, we're all very career-oriented, and you have to
be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers—about being
focused and driven—and if you can find that and someone who shares the
same values as you, it's like: Score!"
This isn't the first time Jessica's been candid about being a mom. Back in June, Jessica poked fun at herself by posting a photo of herself sleeping in a car with her mouth open to both Twitter and
Facebook, complete with the hilarious caption: "SPOTTED! In her natural
state, notice the slack jaw, deep sleep and palpable fatigue of this
creature. Yes, it is a working mom."
