Catherine Reitman: ?At the end of the day, do I like who?s looking back at me"?
Call her the anti-Anne Geddes: Catherine Reitman channelled her own experience as the mother of two sons?Jackson, 4, and Liam, 1?into her proudly un-cutesy hit series Workin? Moms, which she stars in opposite her husband and production partner, Philip Sternberg. With season two on the horizon, the creator, writer, executive producer, director and star talks about finding the funny in family.
Growing up, we lived in a very creative household. Both my parents (Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman and actor Geneviève Robert) are creative types. We were educated in film, and we were always watching a lot of things at a very young age, so my brother (director Jason Reitman) and I really took to it.
I wasn?t obsessed with dolls or becoming a mom and having 2.5 kids; I really wanted to be an actress. Later, I fell in love with writing. Those were the obvious loves to me. And I loved being in relationships?I knew I would probably get married. But as for the kid thing, I said, ?If it fits, I?ll do it.? It was very important to my husband, and I?m so glad I did. Kids have changed my life 99.9 percent for the better. I would never go back to not having kids, although I fantasize about it all the time.
