Sophie Ellis-Bextor has said that her children sometimes “get really cross” with her if she has to work at home.
However, the singer-songwriter, who has five children with husband Richard Jones, said that working makes her a “better” mother as it gives her another purpose.
The Murder On The Dancefloor and Take Me Home singer told Red magazine: “A lot of working mums end up trying to be all things to all people. In our house, if I say I’m working, at least two of the kids get really cross with me, like, ‘Why don’t you tell them you can’t sing?’
“I say, ‘You have to stop punishing me for what I do. I love what I do.’
