But P!nk – real name Alecia Moore – admitted her relationship with her mother turned ‘terrible’ once she was a teenager.
‘I look at the young years of how much my mum took on and did it without complaint and then I look at the teenage years, so I take inspiration from it and I take warnings from it,’ she continued.

P!nk said that her children’s upbringings have been ‘very different’ from her own.

Speaking in her new documentary, All I Know So Far, P!nk confessed she was apprehensive about becoming a mum because of her troubled relationship with her own mother.
‘I think before I became a parent, I didn’t want to become a parent because I didn’t want the same kind of relationship my mum and I had, and I was terrified of it,’ she revealed.
But P!nk said her mum gave her ‘one of the biggest gifts of my life’ a few years after Willow was born.
‘She looked at me with tears in her eyes and she said, “I just never knew that parenting could be this enjoyable until I saw you do it,”‘ she recounted of her mother

‘It’s been a lifetime of exploring what it means to be responsible for each other. Accountable to each other. Not perfect, ever. Just curious, and forgiving.’
