Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that she does not want her children to feel too privileged as they grow up.

The 44-year-old actress is mum to seven-year-old son James Wilkie and six-month-old surrogate twins Marion and Tabitha, and she said that she doesn’t want them to get a leg up in life just because they have famous parents.

She said: “I don’t want my children to feel they have a sense of entitlement. I want them to work hard and be challenged.

“That’s hard to do when you have everything you need and want, so I am working on those values all the time.”

Parker, who shot to fame as Carrie Bradshaw in the hit TV series, also admitted that she finds it hard juggling her career with motherhood.

She said: “It is the eternal conflict of every working woman, and I am not complaining, because I’ve done this to myself. And I have a wonderful, wonderful nanny who allows me to be a working person.”

She added: “The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people. I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I’m at work. But it is hard.”
