Sunrise star Natalie Barr admits emotional parenting: ‘Next week I’m going to cry’
Natalie Barr says she’s getting emotional because her youngest son Hunter is about to graduate from high school.
The 17-year-old student had his last day on Friday and his famous mother, 55, said she will “cry” at his final meeting next week.
Speaking to a pregnant Miranda Kerr on Sunrise that morning, Natalie told the Australian model to make the most of her four boys’ childhoods.
“Today is my last child’s last day of school, so I know it’s going to be busy, but make the most of it,” she told the beauty, who is expecting her fourth child with CEO Evan Spiegel.
“Because then you’re going to cry like I do next week when they have their meeting.”

It comes just weeks after Natalie admitted she felt like a ‘failure’ as a mother after giving birth to her first son Lachlan.
The Sunrise presenter, who shares Lachlan, 22, and Hunter with her husband Andrew Thompson, said she felt like a “useless mother” when she couldn’t get her firstborn to sleep as a baby.
She admitted on the No Filter podcast late last month that she became “distraught” about the situation.
Speaking to a pregnant Miranda Kerr on Sunrise, Natalie told her to make the most of the younger years with her children because the television host will “cry” next week when Hunter graduates high school.
“I was so desperate because I had a non-sleeping baby and it was, as many mothers know, the most helpless feeling,” she told host Mia Freedman.
‘My father had just died, I was six months pregnant when my father died, so you think: is that the reason? Am I still grieving?’
Natalie went on to reveal that a woman from her mother’s group blamed her for going back to work, saying it was the reason her baby wouldn’t sleep.

“There’s all this useless information out there. You take everything on, you just feel like a useless mother,” the breakfast show host admitted.
Lachlan’s restlessness became so bad that Natalie and her husband Andrew, who are notoriously private about their children, sought help from a ‘baby whisperer’.
Natalie then revealed that her second son Hunter, born four years later, was a much better sleeper.
The journalist has been open in the past about the struggles she had as a mother when her boys were young and admitted she found it difficult to be at home.
