Busy Philipps has revealed that she is not mentally prepared for her daughter to go to boarding school. The actress, who is mother to Birdie, 13, and Cricket, 10, with ex-husband Marc Silverstein, is trying to enjoy her time with her children before her eldest moves away during the school year.
In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, Philipps said, “I don’t know if I could mentally prepare myself for that, so I’m just trying to really enjoy my time with the kids.”
However, she also joked that some people are overreacting and acting as if she is sending her daughter to outer space. Philipps reassured that she will still see Birdie frequently and believes that the experience will be positive for the whole family.
Philipps added, “Also, I know that this is one step in my kid growing up. Some people are acting like I’m sending her to the moon, but we’re gonna see Birdie a lot, so it’ll be OK. I feel pretty good about it. I think it’s going to be a good experience for everybody.”
Regarding her daughters’ interests, Philipps mentioned that Birdie is a big fan of Taylor Swift and enjoys watching YouTube videos and going to the movies. While Birdie doesn’t make TikToks, she still likes to watch them and share the best ones with her mom. Cricket, on the other hand, is passionate about animation, art, and writing stories.
