She added: \u201cWe spent days in an ER, in and out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Charlie\u2019s Angels actor praised her daughter for her quick-thinking following the accident.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cShe ripped off her bra and turned it into a tourniquet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just who she is. And I just marvel at her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrymore recently noted how she has become much less \u201cselfish\u201d since becoming a parent and she \u201cprefers\u201d the person she is today.<\/p>\n

Responding to a fan who asked how long it took to readjust back to being herself after having a baby, she wrote in a piece for UsWeekly: \u201cI\u2019m still not myself. And I don\u2019t know if I will ever get back to the carefree, selfish person I was before children. I can never not know this love and concern I have for my two daughters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s consuming. I am just trying to embrace the new me. And I do prefer me now. I\u2019m much more capable. Much more trustworthy. Much more admirable than I ever was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this, the Never Been Kissed star added that being childfree or a parent should both be \u201cconsidered perfectly fulfilling roads\u201d in life, and that \u201ctime\u201d is the best way to learn about oneself.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThat being said, \u2018motherhood\u2019 or \u2018otherhood\u2019 should be considered perfectly fulfilling roads. And may each one of them lead us to our better selves. I think this takes time, though. Maturity has so much to do with it. Time is the great teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She added: \u201cWe spent days in an ER, in and out.\u201d The Charlie\u2019s Angels actor praised her daughter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1081,14031,1070,14032,14030,14035,14034,14037,156,78,111,139,69,5493,14033,14036],"class_list":["post-11501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-accident","tag-barrymores","tag-bike","tag-daughter","tag-drew","tag-ebike","tag-elbow","tag-electric","tag-entertainment","tag-in","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-open","tag-ripped","tag-whole"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
