Jennifer Lopez 'Thinks She's a Bad Mom'
Jennifer Lopez is seeking constant re-assurance from husband Marc Anthony because she fears she's failing as a mother.
The 'Jenny From The Block' singer, who welcomed twins Max and Emme in February this year, is terrified she's not doing a good enough job with the children, forcing Marc to beg her to stop worrying.
A source close to the couple tells British magazine Closer, "Jennifer wants to be the perfect mother, but she crumbles if any normal little thing goes wrong.
"If the twins cry, she thinks it's because she's a bad mom, and bursts into tears herself.
"Marc had to sit her down and make her understand that she's a good mom and it's normal for babies to cry."
And friends close to Lopez -- who gained 50lbs while pregnant, only to lose it on a strict diet and exercise regime -- say the star has been so anxious that it's taken its toll on her health.
The source adds, "Jen is a total perfectionist, and she's treating motherhood the same way she goes about her career -- it's all or nothing.
"Marc is concerned that she's not eating properly or sleeping because she's obsessed with looking after the twins. If she leaves them with her own mother for a couple of hours to have some time off, she beats herself up about it and feels guilty.
"Marc has forced Jen to take some time off and have a massage to unwind, but she even struggled to relax during that.
"He wants her to stop worrying abut the kind of mother she's being and just enjoy it."
