Sunrise star Natalie Barr makes emotional parenting confession: ‘I’ll be crying next week’

Natalie Barr says she’s been getting emotional over her youngest son Hunter impending graduation from high school.

The 17-year-old student had his last day on Friday and his famous mother, 55, said she’ll be ‘crying’ next week during his last assembly. 

Speaking to a pregnant Miranda Kerr on Sunrise that morning, Natalie told the Australian model to make the most of her four boys’ childhood years. 

‘It’s my last child’s last day of school today, so I know it gets busy, but make the most of it,’ she told the beauty who is expecting her fourth child to CEO Evan Spiegel. 

‘Because then you’ll be crying like I will be next week when they have their assembly.’

It comes just a few weeks after Natalie admitted she felt like a ‘failure’ as a mother after she gave birth to her first son Lachlan.

The Sunrise host, who shares Lachlan, 22, and Hunter with her husband Andrew Thompson, said she felt like a ‘useless mum’ when she couldn’t get her firstborn to sleep as a baby.

She confessed on the No Filter podcast late last month that she became ‘distraught’ about the situation.

‘I was so distraught because I had a non-sleeping baby and it was, as lots of mums would know, the most helpless feeling,’ she told host Mia Freedman.

‘My dad had just died, I was six months pregnant when my dad had died, so then you think, is that why? Am I still mourning?’

Natalie went on to reveal a woman in her mother’s group blamed her for going back to work, saying it was the reason her baby wouldn’t sleep.

‘There’s all this unhelpful information around. You take everything on, you just feel like a useless mum,’ the breakfast show host confessed.

Lachlan’s restlessness became so bad that Natalie and her husband Andrew, who are notoriously private about their children, sought help from a ‘baby whisperer’.

Natalie then revealed her second son Hunter, who was born four years later, was a much better sleeper.

The journalist has been open in the past about the struggles she had as a mother when her boys were young and admitted she found it difficult to be at home.
