Megan Fox has a bone to pick on how working moms are treated.
The 35-year-old actress is a mom to three sons —Noah Shannon, 8½,Bodhi Ransom, 7, andJourney River, 4½ — and, as Fox tellsInStylein a new interview, she is often asked while at a red carpet event or on a night out “Where are your kids?”
Her comeback to that: “Do you ask their dad whenhe’sout?”
“No,” Fox continues, “because you don’t expect a dad to be with the kids all the time, but I’m supposed to not be seen and be at home with my kids. They have another parent. I have to leave and sometimes I don’t want them photographed and they don’t come with me.”

“Hollywood is not adapted to women and us actually having lives and being moms,” said Fox. “I don’t have an answer for what we can do about that, other than as more women rise up the ranks and are in control and in power in Hollywood, then obviously those things will change. It’s been a patriarchy for so long.”
She added, “There is that thing in this industry of like, ‘Well, are you giving up? Are you just a mom now?’ There’s this weird pressure, which also then creates guilt. You go to work too soon to satisfy those people.”
