Scarlett Johansson is reflecting on the challenges of being a parent.
The actress and mom of two, 38, looked back on parenting daughter Rose, now 8.
"It's really tough. I remember my daughter when she was 2, I said, 'This is great. I don't know what everybody is talking about.' And then she turned 3, and it's like being in an emotionally abusive relationship. It's just so intense. No reasoning. Very intense emotional swings and like, so bossy and adamant, and it's just crazy. She was up and down constantly."
She shares daughter Rose with ex Romain Dauriac and son Cosmo, 20 months, with husband Colin Jost.
She noted that while toddlers are challenging, having a baby is so lovely.
"They're so cute. They sit there, and they love you, and then that's it. And you just get, like, love from them. Whereas you get a lot of grief from toddlers. Like, everything you do is not right, which is hard."
