Charley Webb has admitted some days looking after her kids are "stressful from start to finish".
The ‘Emmerdale’ actress – who has children Buster, 10, Bowie, four, and 12-month-old Ace with her husband and Dales co-star Matthew Wolfenden – has reassured her followers that people’s lives aren’t always as "perfect" as they are portrayed on social media, and admitted on occasions she "can’t wait for bedtime".
In the honest Instagram post, she wrote: "Little family. Today has been such a lovely Sunday. Bowie has spent hours doing crafts, we’ve watched a film. We’ve been for a long walk and this afternoon we’re having a roast with our little bubble (@missemmaatkins).
"Some days are not like this though, some days are stressful from start to finish and I’m really not just saying that. Some days I can’t wait for bedtime. I’m so aware of people feeling like rubbish when they’re on social media because everyone’s life looks so perfect and theirs isn’t. Remember, people only post what they want you to see. Happy Sunday (sic)"
Charley – who plays Debbie Dingle on the show – recently joked it "went down really well" with her when Matthew broke their son’s bed during a game of hide and seek.
Speaking in an Instagram Story, she said: "I need to get him a new bed because Matthew was playing hide and seek with him, and hid under the duvet and broke the bed.
"So that went down really well with me!"
The 32-year-old star – who is currently on maternity leave – recently revealed she is currently working on her kids’ bedrooms, and she appealed to her social media followers for "inspiration".
She added: "So, I’m doing the boy’s bedrooms up – well, Buster’s is done pretty much, just needs painting, already got the paint.
"It’s Ace’s and Bowie’s that I’m doing and I’ve just lost all inspiration, and I don’t know what to do now.
"I should have designed the rooms before I bought loads of stuff but I always get over excited, buy loads of stuff and now I don’t know where I need to put any of it.
"I feel like I need somebody to just design it for me, so if you’ve got any inspiration please send it my way.
"I wanna make it sort of like Scandinavian, simple, and just cute basically – with less stuff. Any ideas are very welcome!"
