“I don’t want to commit to childcare as if I’m off I want to be with the kids, so my mum comes to stay when I’m working.”
Helen continued: “That whole thing about “it takes a village”, I believe that. You need to be with people who are in the same boat, otherwise the mum guilt can be suffocating.
“Sometimes I am a full-time mum with the guilt of thinking I should be out working, and other times I am a working mum with the guilt that I’m not at home with them.”
Heartbroken Helen, revealed that Leeds Rhinos rugby ace Richie, 31, had left her after nine years together earlier this year.
