Blake Lively wants her daughters to have their own ‘identity’ outside motherhood

Actress Blake Lively thinks it is important for her daughters to know that she is a working mother and to instill in them the quality of being independent.

Blake shares 3 daughters James, Inez and Betty with husband Ryan Reynolds.

In an interview with People Magazine, the Gossip Girl alum said, "I want to teach my daughters to maintain themselves and that everything is possible. So it is very important for them to see me working. I bring them along, though. I mean, it's amazing they're not hidden under my skirt right now.”

She added, “Building one’s own identity is important to her while also calling motherhood completely all-encompassing.”

At the same time, Blake Lively was lucky enough to have a job which allows her to spend time with her kids while working.
