Lily Allen Discusses Parenting Guilt on Podcast

Lily Allen has stirred controversy after confessing on her podcast 'Miss Me?' that her guilty pleasure is leaving her children, Ethel and Marnie, at home while she travels for work. During the discussion, she expressed relief when escaping the demands of parenting but quickly felt guilt, stating, 'I get out the door and half an hour later I feel guilty.' Critics on social media responded harshly, suggesting her comments might negatively impact her children when they grow older. Allen's admission follows previous revelations about her motivations for having children, which she described as 'for all the wrong reasons' in search of unconditional love. Despite the backlash, she joked about the necessity of her work and the benefits it brings to her family.
