Gwyneth Paltrow thinks being a movie star mom is harder than being a mom with a normal job.

In an interview with E! News, Paltrow said the challenges of working on a movie outweighed those of a mother working 9 to 5.

"I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening," she said. "When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."

Paltrow, 41, broke up with her husband of 10 years, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, 37, earlier this week in a blog post on her website GOOP titled: 'Conscious Uncoupling.' They have two young children: Apple and Moses.

She has a movie, "Mortdecai," coming out with Johnny Depp that she just finished filming in London, where she lives.
