Drew Barrymore eager to be better mother

The 37-year-old actress is married to Will Kopelman and gave birth to their first daughter Olive three months ago.

She told Oprah Winfrey on 'Oprah's Next Chapter' that she has learned a lot about the kind of mother she wants to be from the difficult relationship she had with her own mother Jaid Barrymore and wants her daughter to always know she will be there for her, reported E! online.

"I will be there at 3pm in the school line waiting to pick her up, that's first and foremost," Barrymore said.

In the emotional interview, the actress explained that broken promises are what upset her most growing up.

"I think that's as a kid what I craved the most, was just believing that was going to be there. Being there in that school line. I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that my parent won't be there," she added.

The actress said that she wants to be honest with her daughter and has already planned what to tell her about her own wild youth, during which she did drugs, got divorced twice and also admitted she was bisexual.

"I will absolutely instill in her that you cannot be ashamed of the journey that it took, you know, to get where you are if you are proud of yourself.

"But I will also try to instill on her that I did not have guidance and that is why I lived my life that way. And although I am proud of it and I don't want to spend the rest of my life regretting it, there is no option for her to take that path because she has guidance," she said.
