Uma Thurman Says She Is "Messing Up" Motherhood

Uma Thurman is "messing up" motherhood. The "Life Before Her Eyes" actress' mom Nena has criticized her for lavishing gifts on her children - daughter Maya, 10 and son Levon Roan, seven - and Uma admits she is worried they will be difficult when they are older.

The 38-year-old star said: "It's hard to comment on yourself as a parent, but my mother reckons I'm messing things up."

"She says grandparents are supposed to be able to spoil the children, but I spoil them so badly that she has nothing to do. I can't help it. I'm probably making them into monsters, but I so desperately want them to be happy."

Uma hopes Maya and Levon Roan - her children with ex-husband, actor Ethan Hawke - will follow her into showbusiness.

She added: "They are very expressive kids. If I think they might have a lot of talent if genetics hand you anything."

Uma, who is engaged to businessman Arpan Busson, insists she lives a normal life which is far from perfect.

She said: "I don't feel famous. Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not, but it's hard to feel it. Does that make any sense?"

"I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show."
