On Wednesday. Aug. 21, the actress, 35, shared a comedic Instagram Reel detailing how difficult it is for a mother of two toddlers to "get one second to yourself." The former Nickelodeon star used a clip of her iconic Victorious character Trina Vega from the show's pilot episode to describe the scenario.

"POV: you're a mom trying to get one second to yourself," the mom of daughter Ivry, 3, and son Gio, 4, whom she shares with husband Andrew Gardner, wrote over a clip of herself trying to get into her bathroom without her kids calling for her attention.

"One second," Monet repeats, as her little ones continue chatting. The video then cuts to a Victorious scene where Trina Vega sings extremely off-pitch before asking, "How was that?"

"The kids," she wrote atop the throwback clip.

After the clip, the mom of two then jokingly rolls her eyes and shuts the bathroom door behind her. "Aka any time I try to go to the bathroom. #momlife #toddlers 🫶🏼," she wrote in her caption.

Speaking with Mini Magazine for its fall 2020 issue, the actress opened up about her experience as a mom, sharing that "motherhood has matured me in so many ways."

"I used to be passive and less opinionated. I struggled with standing up for myself when I should have," said Monet. "Becoming a mother has helped me to have more respect for myself in business, and in my personal relationships — an absolutely priceless tool that I know will take me far as an individual and more importantly, as a parent."

She added that she wants her son to grow up "seeing a strong and independent mother."

"This way, respect and gender equality are traits that are instilled in his character from an early age," explained Monet. "Motherhood [has] forced me to prioritize what's most important so I can focus on the things that matter. It was so easy to waste time before becoming a mom. Now I realize just how precious every minute of the day is."
