Maya Rudolph recently shared the emotional turmoil she faced while dropping off her daughter at college, describing the experience as “painful” and “confusing.”
In an interview with *Variety*, the 52-year-old comedian and actress discussed her difficulty with letting go of her child. “Why the f— do we let them go?” Rudolph questioned, her voice filled with emotion. “I’m nowhere near understanding it yet. Why did they invent parenthood this way? It’s all painful.”
The mother of four admitted that the transition has been tough for her. “I’m okay, but I can’t lie — it’s hard. Changing diapers was so much easier!” she confessed.
Reflecting on her early days of motherhood in a previous interview with *Town & Country*, Rudolph recalled the joy of welcoming her firstborn, Pearl. “This is all going great!” she had thought, feeling fulfilled after achieving her dreams of having children, living in New York, and being on *Saturday Night Live*.
