'Total Bellas': Brie Bella struggles to choose between being a stay-at-home mom or a career-oriented woman
Being a mother is not easy because it comes with a lot of choices one has to make. In the Season premiere of 'Total Bellas', Brie Bella found it hard to make a decision about the kind of mother she would want to be. Brie sat down with her sister Nikki Bella and confessed that there was a lot going on in her mind.
She revealed that she and her husband Daniel Bryan have been trying to have a second child but added that it had not been successful. "It just keeps making me feel like why I haven't gotten pregnant in the last eight months is because there's other stuff that I have to work on before a child comes," she said.
Nikki was quick to realize how her sister was feeling and tried to console her by stating that things would be fine soon. While Brie loves to be a mother, she was finding it hard to understand how she would manage to be a career woman while also handling two children. She normally takes her daughter Birdie Joe Danielson wherever she goes but she thought it may not be possible with two children.
Brie admitted that she felt the pressure to have another child while adding that she would never ask her husband to give up his career. "I feel so much pressure to have a second child," she said. "It's almost like what you're supposed to do. And if you don't do it then you're weird and that's what I guess makes it hard as I love my husband to death and I would never in a million years ask him to stop his career — something he loves to do."
She continued, "But, it's like, because he's the man. He never has us to ask me like, 'Is it okay if I leave every week to go out of town for my job?' because it's just assumed. As a woman, if we want children, we have to automatically think to yourself, 'Am I willing to give up my career right now?' And I love having a career."
Nikki admitted that when it comes to choosing a career or being a mother, it is hard for a woman to make a decision. While Brie seemed uncertain about what to do, she did suggest Nikki that she could help Birdie by giving her a cousin but Nikki declared she did not want a child. Only the coming episode will reveal how the lives of Bella sisters change.
'Total Bellas' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm ET on E!
