‘Today’s Dylan Dreyer Admits She Hits Parenting ‘Breaking Points’

Despite breaking down the idea of being the perfect parent, Dreyer confessed that she still struggles with mom guilt. “I’m very fortunate that I have a job that I love. So if I’m working or if I am traveling for work, I do really enjoy it. But guilt comes with the territory whenever you’re not the one to be there for your kids 100 percent,” she said. “Realistically, I can’t be there for everything. But I make sure someone they know and love is there for them.”

Dreyer also opened up about how she and her fellow Today hosts, such as Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin, Carson Daly, Sheinelle Jones, and Jenna Bush Hager, bond over raising young kids. “We can all commiserate and relate to each other. It’s like, ‘Oh, mine’s going through this, or are you doing camp this year, or what kind of sports do you like?’ I can’t stand that sports go all year now. What happened when we were little, and sports were just one season?” she stated.

Dreyer noted that the hosts also rely on Al Roker for parenting advice, as he shares three grown kids with his wife, Deborah Roberts, and his late ex-wife, Alice Bell. “Al certainly has the experience and the knowledge because he’s removed from that little kid age that so many of us are in right now,” she told the outlet.

She also revealed that it was Roker who convinced her to buy a minivan when she moved from New York City to the suburbs. “I just bought a minivan a few months ago because Al said, ‘You have to get a minivan, it will change your life.’ I was like, ‘Really? But I don’t want a minivan,'” she recalled. “Literally the next day, I bought one, and now it’s all I talk about. I am obsessed! Yesterday, each of the boys brought a friend along, and we all fit so easily.”
