Christina Aguilera: 'Women need time to nurture themselves'

Superstar Christina Aguilera has called out unfair expectations placed on women and revealed that they shouldn't be so hard on themselves after giving birth. 

During a new interview with Women's Health magazine, the songstress admitted that it's hard to live up to the unrealistic expectations put on new mothers:

"Mothers are constantly expected to be the nurturers, the givers, the providers of a comfortable home. We’re expected to be pregnant, have the kids, breastfeed once we have the babies. And we’re expected to look amazing after baby, right?"

She continued: "[We're expected to] keep our husbands and boyfriends interested—because we’re supposed to get back to sexy and keep things exciting in the bedroom. There’s such a long list. Having children is the ultimate joy, and I love my kids, but women have to find time to nurture themselves. If someone has a baby, the first thing I’m like is, ‘Okay, are you taking care of you?’”
