Gwyneth Paltrow's been in the news this week, mainly because she and her husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin, announced they're separating-- something she referred to as 'conscious uncoupling' (whatever THAT is) on her blog.

But that most likely took the focus off comments she made during an E! Online interview, in which she pretty much said that working moms have it easier than she does. That's right, a multi-millionaire actress who's married to getting a divorce from an equally-rich husband whose job is being in a rock band, says that working moms actually have it EASIER than she does!

She told E! Online, "It's much harder for me. I feel like I set it up in a way that makes it difficult because…for me, like if I miss a school run, they are like, 'Where were you?'," Paltrow said.

"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.

"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."

But never fear, a working mother named Mackenzie Dawson has taken Gwyneth to task in an open letter published in the New York Post

. And, she hits the nail on the head!  I'm sure Gwyneth has frustrations and limitations-- she's only human, afterall-- but I also believe when you cash those million dollar checks-- checks that allow you afford pretty much whatever you want-- you kinda lose your right to complain about how "easy" us working stiffs have it!
