Blunt said she wants to be present for more of the everyday moments as a mom.
“And it’s, ‘Will you wake me up? Will you take me to school? Will you pick me up? Will you put me to bed?’ And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I just felt that in my bones,” Blunt explained, sharing that some “intense” and “time-consuming” projects last year took a toll on her family life and prompted her to reevaluate her work-life balance.
“The ones that are time-consuming I think, for me, are becoming few and further between because of just the emotional cost on me, on the kids, on balance,” she continued.
