During her time on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the actress spoke about raising Matilda, born on March 30, 2023.
According to her, for her, raising her baby is like "taking care of your best friend all day when she's drunk." Her comments were harshly criticized on social media. No one doubts that motherhood is a constant challenge, but when the criticism becomes much louder than the kindness, there is something wrong. After her time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Kaley Cuoco was the target of controversy on social media for the controversial comparison she made about the challenges of raising her daughter Matilda.
"It's kind of wild. The other day I was trying to tell our couples therapist why I'm so tired and I was explaining to her that taking care of a 19-month-old baby is exactly the same as taking care of your drunk best friend. But day after day. All day long, literally," she said.
Far from leaving the criticism there, the actress went much further, complaining about the constant crying and high demand of her 19-month-old baby: "It's kind of wild. The other day I was trying to tell our couples therapist why I'm so tired and I was explaining to her that taking care of a 19-month-old baby is exactly the same as taking care of your drunk best friend. But day after day. All day long, literally."
Matilda came into the world on March 30, 2023 and is the first child of Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey. The couple made their relationship public in 2022, just over a year after the actress divorced her second husband, professional jockey Karl Cook.
Although Cuoco shares images of her daughter on her social media every day, these comments caused many to criticize her, and even unfollow her, due to the confusing message she presents by harshly criticizing motherhood but sharing it as idyllic on her official profiles, where she never let on that parenting was so hard for her.
