For instance, at one recent event, "The Moms" hosted Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of superstar Will Smith and the mother of 2 children who are both rising stars themselves.
"It's the conversation about parenting that sort of makes us all really the same," said Albert. "They might have different things than we do, and they might live different kinds of lives, but the topics we're talking about to them, like pushing their kids…[Pinkett Smith] says [her kids] really enjoy do enjoy [working].

"But," adds Gerstein. "There is a fine line between pushing and being a tiger mom."
