Salma Hayek encourages parents to try harder

Actress Salma Hayek does not entertain excuses when it comes to how much time parents spend with their children.
The 49-year-old "Desperado" star shares eight-year-old daughter Valentina with husband Francois-henri Pinault and she is also stepmother to her partner's three kids, reported Contactmusic.
But even though maintaining a happy household while managing a thriving career in Hollywood makes for a busy schedule, Hayek refuses to allow her day-to-day obligations to serve as justifications for being a lazy parent.
"You have to drag children into participating in life," she said.
"It takes a lot of work and mummies are very tired because most of us work and life is exhausting, especially if you are an older mum like me, but you have to make the effort.
