Reuters: Movie making is competing with being a mother for actress Kate Winslet, who finds it strange to spend even three days away from her kids to attend the Toronto film festival. Winsle described balancing motherhood and work as her biggest achievement of the year. "It is a lot to pull off, keep everybody settled and do my job as well as I can, but most importantly being the best parent that I can," Winslet, who has a 2-year old son and a 6-year old daughter, told. "We go everywhere together with the kids and I am very rarely away from them. Even to be here for three nights, it's weird because I just don't do that. It was very, very challenging and hard for me to separate myself from my own life and my own feelings as a mother and my own instincts as a parent and to be this character here, who isn't a good mother at all, and quite selfish in a way," she said of the
Little Children role. "On the surface she is quite weak-willed too, which I am not, I am quite strong."
