Underwood is reportedly struggling with “mother guilt” while on the road
Being one of the most successful and talented country singers in the world and raising two kids doesn’t have to be an easy task! RadarOnline also reported that Underwood is currently feeling “mommy guilt” as she chases her dreams, plays shows for her many fans and isn’t able to see her kids every day, stressing, adding, “It’s a juggling act, but luckily she has.” Mike to help. She couldn’t do it without him.”
As much as she suffers from guilt, a source close to the “Before He Cheats” singer insisted that she loves performing for her fans and keeps her music and personal/family life separate. “She really missed hanging out with the crew and focusing on the music and the show. It’s always been important to her to have her own identity, separate from her personal life,” the insider reportedly added. According to another source who spoke to Star, “She’s a creative person and she needs freedom to move and express herself.”
Though Underwood is sometimes miles away from her sons, she doesn’t let that stop her from communicating with them as much as possible, a source told Radar. “The kids are handling momma’s away pretty well,” the source noted, citing Underwood’s most recent tour (which began in October 2022).
“Isaiah is old enough to know that his mother is famous and has her job. The kids miss their mom, but they see and talk to her on FaceTime every day. She asks her about her day and even helps Isaiah with his schoolwork.” While virtual chatting can help keep her and her kids connected, Underwood prioritizes coming home “for short stretches between shows,” the insider said.
They added, “Carrie will still be handy and the boys won’t let Mike get ragged.” Back in 2015, Underwood opened up about “mother’s guilt” when her son Isaiah was just seven months old. In an interview with People, she said, “You feel guilty about every single thing, every decision you make, everything you do.”
