Madonna found it difficult to get into the rhythm of parenting, admitting she was “still trying to work out how to be a mother.”
Mother-of-six ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ confessed in interview published in Italian, French and Spanish editions Vanity fair Wednesday.
The superstar – who rocked in her underwear while celebrating Christmas together with her 4 children – has also admitted that it is not all the time easy for her offspring to deal together with her unconventional approach to parenting.
“Growing up with a mother like me is a challenge,” the 64-year-old declared.
“Nobody is providing you with instructions,” she continued. “You have got to learn out of your mistakes. It’s a job that takes a lot of time. And it’s exhausting because there’s never any rest.”
The twice-divorced diva is the mother of 26-year-old Lourdes Leon; Rocco Ritchie, 22; David Banda Ciccone, 17; Mercy James Ciccone, 16; and 10-year-old twins Estere and Stelle Ciccone.

Despite admitting that she isn’t the proper mother, Madonna seems to be incredibly pleased with her quite a few offspring.
“What I enjoy most is watching each of them discover their very own creativity and that it comes from an authentic place,” she said.
Madonna’s two eldest children couldn’t escape the “nepo baby” label when Lourdes released her own music and Rocco became a distinguished painter who sells his work for five figures a piece.
“I’ve never encouraged my daughter Lola to make music or my son Rocco to paint – but I’ve all the time exposed them to art, to music, and I’m glad they found ways to express themselves,” she insisted. “I even have respect and admiration for them and what they do.”

Madonna’s mother died when she was 5, and the superstar raised six children of her own within the limelight, and her parenting skills have been questioned over time.
Just last month, the ‘Holiday’ hitmaker sparked outrage on social media shared her video in lace lingerie at a Christmas party with the youngest children.
“I feel uncomfortable,” one critic declared after viewing the uploaded footage, while one other chimed in: “Is the goal “how scary can it be?” “

Meanwhile, last August, Madonna spoke out about her teenage son David’s passion for fashion, saying that he he raids her wardrobe and wears her clothes higher than she does.
“She will wear any outfit and look swag like you realize what,” the singer told Jimmy Fallon in an interview. “It’s really irritating. He wears my clothes and appears higher in them. She will even placed on a dress and seem like a shoe.”
The brand new interview comes after Madonna she said she would be embarking on the “Celebration” tour later this 12 months. on the occasion of her fortieth anniversary in music.
