She told Extra, "I have to say I was really scared. Like, I had a 2-year-old and I was like, 'Should I be, like, leaving for two months?'. I just didn't know if that was the right decision. My fiance was just like, 'You've got to go. I think this is going to be amazing for you'.

She added, "I have some amazing friends who have kids who I've become friends with and we have an amazing mom group and they're all lovely and I've learned so much from my friends and their kids. "I will not ever judge another parent for what they do with their kid. Only you know your kid. Only I know my kid".

Respect for Tom Pelphrey. In our society, we often expect only the mother to sacrifice her career. It's refreshing to see a father stepping up so completely. This is the kind of partnership we should normalize everywhere, including here.

"She didn't give a s*** that I was gone" 😂 That's the most honest parenting quote I've heard! Kids are resilient. It's often our own anxiety that's the biggest hurdle. Good for her for pursuing her passion and showing her daughter a strong example.

While I appreciate her honesty, I can't help but feel a bit conflicted. Two months is a long time for a 2-year-old. In our culture, the early years are considered crucial for bonding. Maybe the privilege of having help makes it easier than for the average person.

The mom group support is everything! Whether in Mumbai or LA, having that village of other parents to share worries and learn from is a lifesaver. Her last line is gold: "Only you know your kid." No one should judge another parent's choices.

This is a global working parent struggle. My wife is a doctor with erratic shifts. We also "swap places" depending on who has the bigger work commitment. It's tough but doable with teamwork. Kaley's openness helps reduce the stigma for mothers, especially.
