Eva Mendes shared a selfie on Instagram yesterday, exposing that she is a "tired mama" for the preparation of her and Ryan Gosling's daughter's birthday. One fan commented, questioning Ryan Gosling's role as a husband, and Mendes responded maturely to her follower.
The former American actress posted a photo of her preparing for her daughter's birthday. She added a caption calling herself a "tired mama," then followed on to say that she stayed up late to make her baby's birthday extra special because she would not see her family.
Adding to that, she is sending her extra love to all the people celebrating "quarantine birthday" and to all the tired mamas. One fan replied, saying that she loves Mendes, but she is not happy about the actress' post because it seems that only the moms are busy with the kids based on the 46-year-old mom's post.
The commenter also said that Mendes should also give credit to husbands because it is not fair to exclude them in parenting. Finally, she said that with Mendes' post, it seems that Gosling is leaving the hard job to the actress without helping her.
Instead of getting angry with the fan, Eva Mendes replied in a lengthy comment with maturity. She started by thanking the fan for her honest opinion; then, she said that she would also be very honest with her reply.
The mother of two explained that she loves connecting with other mothers on her social media account, and that is the reason she created that page. She added that when she says that she is a "tired mama," she only wants to connect with the other "tired mamas," too but it does not mean that she is excluding all the fathers' effort.
Adding to that, she said that she does not like talking about Ryan Gosling's fathering and sharing them with the public because she wants to keep them to herself. She also said that she does not want to involve the actor or his parenting style because she does not want to cross the boundary that she has made for herself.
Then Mendes followed through, saying that she would only share what she is comfortable sharing with the public. She added another reply, saying that she appreciated the fan's question because she loves it when she could communicate with her fans through social media.
Eva Mendes shared how her two daughters, Amada, 4, and Esmeralda, 5, whom she calls "little maniacs" are upping their skills in creativity and independence because her daughters are showing their unique fashion and artistic tastes.
The actress said that her children have their own identity already as women, and she watches them grow up beautifully. She added that she feels like it is her job to protect them, but she also wants to let them be what they want to be.
