Bad mom?

Why yes, the social media post was planned by publicists to try and flip the narrative that this actress/director is a bad mom.

Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde sometimes felt like a ‘huge f–king failure’ as a parent

As a mom of two, Olivia Wilde can emphasize with struggling new parents.

“I know it’s hard now and you sometimes feel like a huge f–king failure,” the “Don’t Worry Darling” director, 38, began an encouraging message on her Instagram Story Friday, “but soon they’ll wake up before you and write thoughtful notes. Stay strong.”

Wilde wrote the caption over a picture of a tumbler with a short but sweet handwritten note from her 5-year-old daughter, Daisy, that read, “This was laft [sic] in my room. I love you.”

The “House” alum joked that her youngest child was “obviously in huge trouble for her spelling and grammar but you can’t win ’em all.”

The rare glimpse into the “Booksmart” director’s views on parenting comes just weeks after she was publicly served with custody papers during an appearance at CinemaCon.

Wilde, who also shares 8-year-old son Otis with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis, was promoting “Don’t Worry Darling” at the event when a process server handed her a manila envelope containing documents concerning the former couple’s two children.

A source previously insisted to Page Six that the “Ted Lasso” star, 46, had no knowledge of the plans and would “never condone” Wilde being served in such an “inappropriate manner.” – Source
