The mother-of-two continued: ‘My children don’t like it when I travel. When I’m away, I try to take my son with me as much as I can.’
And she explained: ‘If you’re a series regular, you have to pay for everything, so I can’t… every time I go up and down, I can’t pay for four people, four flights, you know. , and the rooms you would need and everything… it’s too expensive to travel with everyone all the time.’
The actress emphasized that she does her best to balance her two biggest responsibilities.
“I try to come back as often as I can,” the Wednesday star noted. ‘I think really what I learned, especially with my son, is to integrate it into my work life.
‘Why can’t you come over the weekend to a convention and see what it’s like?’
Christina reflected on how different it was to travel with her son when he was younger.
“There are certain things like my son never learned to sleep because I had to go back to work when he was two months old,” she recalled.
She added that her ex-husband ‘wouldn’t help me with anything’, so she resorted to having Freddie sleep in bed with her ‘just to get enough sleep to be able to work the next day.’

The entertainer shared a photo of her newborn, her husband, and her son on Christmas Day 2021.
Ricci’s husband shared a photo of his wife with their daughter shortly after she gave birth.
With her second child, Ricci emphasized that returning to work with a newborn was “much easier” with her new spouse.
“I went and filmed on Wednesday in Romania when she was two months old, and Mark did it every night all night.
‘Like I just slept and worked the next day, and that made a big difference. This time it was much easier.
“You know, you have to have a good partner to support you.”
