The Emmy-winning actress admits she’s a lot like her ‘Modern Family’ character Claire Dunphy. She’s a neurotic, and temperamental, mom-of-three!
Julie Bowen, who just nabbed the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series on Sunday night (Sept. 18), admits that she’s not the most pleasant mother to be around. In fact, she wouldn’t mind if her three kids –Oliver, 4, and twins John and Gus, 2, with hubby Scott Phillips — disappeares! Can you relate or not at all?
“If I wasn’t a mom, I think it’d be harder to understand what it is to live with a child and hate and love them all at once,” the 41-year-old actress tells Us Weekly of her role as Claire Dunphy in Modern Family. “Claire does that with her kids, and I do that with mine.” What about you, HollyMoms? Do you love AND hate your children sometimes?
“I love them so much,” she adds. “There’s always this undercurrent of love, but there are moments when I really wouldn’t mind if a giant hook just pulled them off the stage of my life!” she laughs. “I think that’s how Claire feels. But if I wasn’t a parent, I think that dichotomy would confuse me.”
We totally get what she’s trying to say — parenthood is NOT easy, especially with three kids under four-years-old (two of them in their terrible twos)! But, can you relate or is Julie being too harsh?

Ms Bowen is an idiot for saying this she should count herself lucky to have 3 healthy beautiful boys if she had miscarried once or had one of them die of sudden infant death syndrome she wouldn’t have gotten the time to grieve for that like stars did in the old days. Robert Redford for example lost his oldest son Scott to Sids at age 6 months in November of 1959 and has never gotten over that in some form though his three younger kids are all adults nor has Joanne Woodward ever in some emotional part gotten over her miscariage during her honeymoon so much so that she’s never spoken about it publically until her book is out in 2012
