"And she said, 'Guilt is such a negative emotion. It is pointless.' And then she said, 'And darling, it's very aging.' I loved her for that because, as women, we do feel guilty. We do feel guilty if we can't be at drop off or pick up or at a school play or if we have to travel for work."
"But I think that the key is to not feel guilty. Just do the best that you can. Our children ultimately, I believe, will be inspired by that. You know, between myself and David, we tag team."
"Communication is really key. You know, 6 o'clock at night, every night at our house, so long as neither of us are traveling, we always eat dinner together. We're quite a traditional family."
Victoria Beckham discussed managing motherhood and career on a podcast, sharing how a conversation with designer Diane von Furstenberg changed her perspective on guilt. Von Furstenberg advised that guilt is a negative, pointless emotion that ages women. Beckham acknowledged that working mothers inevitably miss some events like school drop-offs and plays, but believes children are ultimately inspired by their mothers' dedication to their careers. She and her husband David tag-team parenting responsibilities, with David handling school drop-offs when available. The family prioritizes quality time together, eating dinner without phones every evening when neither parent is traveling, maintaining what Beckham describes as a traditional family structure focused on communication and supporting their children's potential.
