Drew Barrymore Says Her Daughter Tried To Comfort Her When She Was “Losing It” On ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’: “I Was Too Busy Crying”

Drew Barrymore is a mom — of course she loses it sometimes. On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress-turned-talk show host revealed how her nine-year-old daughter adorably attempted to comfort her in a moment of chaos.

At the beginning of the episode, Barrymore welcomed co-host Ross Mathews and journalist Cindy Hsu to the Drews News desk, where they discussed Tina Fey‘s claim that her teenage daughters do not think she’s a “cool mom.”

Unlike Fey, Barrymore admitted that her daughters do, in fact, think she’s cool.

“Not all the time. It’s hit or miss,” she backtracked. “My kids — the other day I was totally losing it and I don’t know why but for some reason, Frankie, my youngest, shouted out, ‘You’re a good mom!'”

When Mathews asked how she responded, Barrymore said she was “too busy crying” in the moment — but made sure to thank her daughter later that day.

“I said, ‘Thank you so much for shouting that out to me, Frankie. It carried me through the day. I didn’t respond in the moment but I needed you to know that it’s one of the most thoughtful things I’ve ever heard in my life and I’ll never forget you saying it,'” Barrymore recalled. “And then all of last night, she told me I was a good mom.”

However, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows in the Barrymore household. According to the host, Frankie said something “really nasty” the day before that forced them to apologize to each other. Plus, her older daughter Olive recently yelled at her to “get out” of her room.

Despite dealing with hormones, Barrymore is “happy when she gets” the good moments with her daughters.

“I’m just not taking it personally,” she said. “That’s not about me. She’s 11. She needs a moment.”
