Cate Blanchett has revealed that she feels her parenting skills are judged by other mothers.
The actress, who has three children - Dashielle, 12, Roman, 10 and Ignatuis, six with husband Andrew Upton, told Porter magazine that she feels she is held to a different set of standards than other parents.
She said: "You know [the other mums] are observing how you parent. They don't know how you cram everything in to make space for your kids like any working parent."
The Oscar-winning star admitted that it is hard to juggle her career with her home life, saying: "Playing the lead in a film where you shoot for three months away from home is not an easy thing for me when my children are in school and my husband is running a theatre company.
"They [the other mothers] assume you have a nanny and a driver and a chef. Who gives a s*** whether I do or not?
"The fact is I don't, but you know there is a certain circle of people - and we all get insecure - who then ask, 'Why can't she brush her hair?' You just have to shrug that off."
