Karen Koster has admitted that she’s worried about being judged for putting her children on camera for upcoming TV3 documentary, Mummy Guilt.
The Xposé host, who has two sons Finn (2) and JJ (1) with husband John McGuire, allowed cameras into her home to shed light on the modern-day issues facing working Irish mums.
And now, Karen has revealed that she didn’t hold back in front of the cameras.
“It was me with no make-up on, running into creche, bawling my eyes out at times,” she told the Herald. “I found the first few days exhausting because it was more on me and my family and filming with the kids.”
“Then, when you’re thinking back, you’re like, ‘Oh God, JJ was running around in his nappy. That’s not going to look good’.
“Then I talked to my mum and my sister and I am definitely exposing myself in a way that I haven’t done before.
“I’m worried that people who don’t even agree with putting your kids on Facebook are going to be like, ‘Your one’s putting her kids on TV’, so I do worry about that aspect of it.”
“I try not to put too much of the kids on social media, but it’s very hard when you’re a proud parent and you’re taking pictures of them all the time,” she explained.
“I’m definitely worried about people coming out and going, ‘Boo-hoo, poor her. She’s got first-world problems, she doesn’t get to see her kids enough’.
“But I do think we all have the same worries and doubts, regardless of the job you do. We have all agonised over the choices we’ve made and second-guessed ourselves,” Karen added.
