‘Teenage kids not really, they haven’t experienced that yet, right? And I just felt that nobody cared about me and nobody loved me.
“And I just remember that I came down. I got a lively thing from all sitting on the couch. They are all on the couch, and I am: ‘None of you loves me’.
“And they were like … just, you know, like teenagers. And I am something like: ‘You don’t care. You don’t love me. None of you want to see me above ‘.
“I just went one and they just looked at me,” is Kate Okay? “It’s like more judgment. You like to have four people you now judge instead of one.
“But I also think for them, it’s a lot for them to take. As Kate had a baby and she went above it. “

The television personality did a Q and A on Instagram where she was asked if they were planning to add to their mixed family.

‘It is always a bit of care for everyone in the family, even me and Rio. It influences everyone, because a new baby in the house changes the dynamics, but like everything in life, everyone simply adapts. You get used to it and you will find your space, “Kate told The mirror.
But Kate admitted that she was struggling with feelings of guilty mommy and puts pressure on herself to be ‘a big mother, woman, to go to the gym, look good and feel’.
She said: ‘How do I spread myself over five children? How do I ensure that I am there for everyone and she gives all the quality time?
‘Of course I am not always because it is impossible. I am struggling with that a lot at the moment. Mum guilt is huge, but I suppose you just have to drive outside because you will never be perfect. ‘
