Jennifer Garner shares some frustrations she's experienced as a mom: 'Sometimes you just have to walk away'

Actress Jennifer Garner is opening up about the frustrations of being a mom.

The "13 Going on 30" alum shares son Samuel, 9, and daughters Violet, 15, and Seraphina, 12, with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Speaking to People magazine for this week's cover story, she shared some examples of things kids do that can be irritating as a parent. "Kids who ignore you when you talk to them five times in a row. When they're mean to each other. Or when they won't try and they just like, lay on the floor," she said. "And then I realize I basically do the same thing. I mean, sometimes you just have to walk away from your kids. You don't even have to announce it. Or you just say, 'Oops. Hold on. I think somebody's calling me in the other room.' You just have to get away."
