Megan Fox and Zooey Deschanel have been commiserating over what it’s like to be a working mom in the entertainment biz while on set filming New Girl’s 100th episode!

Fox is a mom to Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2, and she’s been filling in on the TV show for Zooey Deschanel, who’s been off on maternity leave.

Fox had this to say about working, post-partum:

“It’s tough. You feel like a lot of mother’s guilt, having to leave [your child] all the time and then at a certain point, I had to just release that and go, ‘There are my kids, these souls came through me for a reason, they’re gonna be bonded to me no matter what and this is a part of life. I have a job, I have to have a job.'”

As for Zooey, this is her first time back on the New Girl set since having baby Elsie Otter Pechenik. Elsie is Zooey’s first child.

Zooey says:

“When you’re holding your baby, you’re like, ‘I don’t wanna go to work—this is like the best thing ever,’ but it’s nice, you know, I think, having a little girl, she knows her mommy works and I think that’s a good thing.”
