Michelle Williams Says She’s Trying to Figure Out a Life-Work Balance After Welcoming Her Fourth Child
While continuing to discuss her home life, Michelle Williams said she was trying to find a balance between her life and work.
“You hear a lot of people are talking about self-care, and I’m just wondering when?” she pointed out. “Because I’ma working mom. I already have the guilt, and I don’t want to take more time away from them, but I understand, like, I need to fill up the tank.”
Williams further noted that she was able to have some time to herself… by visiting “our fine local establishments of government bureaucracy.”
“You say, ‘I’m sorry, honey. But one day you’re going to grow up, and you’re going to get a job. And you’re going to pay taxes, and you’re going to need a social security number for that,’” the actress noted. “And then here’s how it goes: I recommend a midday appointment because it’s a little bit more crowded.”
She further shared, “And then you can claim your rightful place at the back of the line where they will let you wait in complete silence for at least one hour.”
Williams jokingly declared, “There is free eating for all.” She then noted others can “bring a nail file” and a “to-do” list to really get things done.
Regarding the “adult conversation” she has to have with the government employees, Williams shared some advice.
“If you want a pro hack tip, don’t double-check your paperwork,” she added. “Because you might have to go back.”
