BILLIE Piper says she cries at night over the stress of being a mum with a successful career.
The former Dr Who actress, 38, said: “This idea of striking a balance is unachievable.
“When I am at work all day long that shows in my kids, or in my relationship with my partner.
“If I’m not at work, it shows in me.
“I cry at the end of every day and spend an hour in bed saying, ‘I’ll be better tomorrow, I swear’.
“I’m going to read my parenting manual tonight and everything will be better.’”
Billie has children Winston and Eugene with ex Laurence Fox as well as daughter Tallulah with singer Johnny Lloyd.
Speaking on the Happy Place podcast, Billie added that her mum, Mandy, remarked it was easier back in her day.
She said: “There was a simplicity to it then.”
