Eighty percent of my life is normal like any other mother. I worry about my children, if they're doing all right. I worry that my husband is doing well. The 20 percent is just the queen aspect that factors in. But for me, it's life as usual, and it's just taking care of my family.

I feel 80% of my life is completely normal.

I constantly worry about my family and my kids. 'Are they O.K., what are they doing right now?'

I'm a way bigger worrier than I ever was before I had kids. And, you know, the stress and anxiety that can go along with motherhood, I have had to battle that.

If I'm lucky enough to see the day when my sons are living independently, maybe with families of their own, I'll still be wondering how I can be a better mother and worrying about the things I overlooked back when they lived under my roof.

I'm not as concerned about me. What's happened to me has been great. I got five great kids. Seventeen grandchildren.

All parents are concerned about their children's well-being. As a parent of three kids, I'm very concerned about their well-being.

My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.

But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
