Kaley Cuoco says motherhood taught her 'needs' of each child differs
Reflecting on how she views motherhood, 'The Big Bang Theory' star said, "I feel like if I've learned anything, it's really, your child is your child and it's not like the next kid."
"And you, as a parent, are not like that parent, and what that child needs is not what my child needs," she added.
Cuoco, who shares her daughter Matilda with her partner Tom Pelphrey, said, "That's kind of what we've done and it's kind of worked out great. So my advice is no advice!"

Kaley Cuoco addressed the recent mom-shaming incident
Cuoco addressed a recent mom-shaming incident she faced while traveling by plane with Matilda for the first time.
During her appearance on the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ show on Monday, January 8, the 'Flight Attendant' actress said, "It was our first flight ever with this baby, which is terrifying. We were very terrified."
"I thought, ‘What do we do? We have to bring her sound machine on the plane. It’s the only thing she can go to sleep to," she added.
At the time, a woman openly judged Cuoco and her partner's parenting while inside the plane. Cuoco expressed that the incident made her want to "strangle" the woman and said, Matilda was not fond of the plane ride, "so she’s crying. It was hard."
"She finally falls asleep and the sound machine is on and we were finally like [sighs]," the 38-year-old added.
The incident took a bad turn when a flight attendant walked in and told the actress that another flight passenger wanted the sound machine to be switched off.

"I’m sitting there like, ‘Oh, my god,'" Cuoco recalled, adding "I can feel Tom be like, ‘Hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child when we turn it [off],' The ice went into his veins," she added.
On Thursday, January 11, Cuoco spoke to ET about how she does not take advice on motherhood. "I didn't really open myself up to listening and responding to other moms because it just becomes a little too much for me," she said.
"There's gonna be more questions and probably anger than I want to hear," Cuoco admitted.
