The pop diva-known to be a bit of a control freak-is learning the hard way that motherhood is an unpredictable game.
Even though her song says "I'm Real," it seems Jennifer Lopez is trying to be superhuman in the mommy department. A source tells British magazine Closer: "Jennifer wants to be the perfect mother, but she crumbles if any normal little thing goes wrong. If the twins cry, she thinks its because she's a bad mom and crumbles herself."
The problem has gotten so bad, says the source, that Jenny's husband Marc Anthony has had to beg her to stop worrying. "Marc had to sit her down and make her understand she's a good mom and it's normal for babies to cry."
Friends of Jenny are worried that her paranoia is taking a toll on her health. The source adds, "Jen is a total perfectionist. She's treating motherhood the same way she goes about her career--it's all or nothing."
"Marc is concerned that she's not eating properly or sleeping because she's obsessed with looking after the twins," adds the insider. " If she leaves them with her own mother for a couple of hours to have some time off, she beats herself up about it and feels guilty."
We can definitely see J. Lo applying the same military discipline she has in her career and fitness to motherhood, but judging from the pictures we've seen of date nights with her hubby and jet-setting with her kids, we're pretty sure Jenny is doing just fine. Still, it would be nice to catch her in a pair of mom jeans, or at least one of her classic velour sweat suits and a pair of flip flops.

'Okay so i know a lot of people love her. But i'm really annoyed every time i hear a news flash about Jennifer Lopez. She just errks the sh*t out of me. I find her to be the most conceited Puerto Rican ever and her kids are going to have ego's bigger than her rear end if she continues her "I'm the best" attitude. i mean who demands to close down a clothing store to shop alone, then demand a 50% discount and then on top of it all, tries on 300 outfit's and leaves them all on the dressing room floor not making a single purchase. Its stuff like that, that makes me want to take her ass back to the Hunts Point and make her raise kids the way her mother did. Oh Jennifer you anger me so.... ~~~' Gossiper21, June 23, 2008 - 1:00pm
'I think many a new mamis go through this, Jen is human, having twins is not the easiest thing to do, knowing her, she wants to raise her children in the best way possible, keeping them grounded in a structured family, its tough, I wish her and Marc the best, at least she is trying hard, unlike the Brittany Spears of the world!' tashi~martinez, June 22, 2008 - 9:03am
