Anna Farismay be a loving mother, but she certainly doesn’t mind a few hours away from her son Jack.
While appearing as a guest onThe Talkon Tuesday, Faris, 41, revealed that her only child’s first day of school was not an overly-emotional moment for her, unlike many other parents’ experiences.
“I feel really guilty that I wasn’t more anxious,” she admitted. “It feels like all of the other parents were really anxious and the kindergarten teachers are asking, ‘Oh, is everything gonna be okay?’ I felt like, can’t we just drop him off?”
Part of the reason for her feelings, she says, was that Jack — who Faris shares with ex-husbandChris Pratt— had already experienced being away from his parents at pre-school.
“Chris and I walked him there and we were trying not to transfer any hint of anxiety,” she said before joking, “Not that I was having it, clearly. I was like, ‘I gotta get to work, kid!'”
Added theOverboardactress: “He just ran in and was like, ‘Bye guys!’ It was that funny mom guilt feeling, where I feel like this should emotionally tug at me more than it is.”
But when one ofThe Talkhosts suggested that perhaps her six-year-old son was prepared for the major milestone, Faris quipped: “Or maybe I wanted to get on with my day!”

While there’s no anxiety when it comes to her son going to school, there’s also none when it comes to getting along with Pratt, who shesplit from in August 2017after eight years of marriage.
A source close to the stars recently confirmed that they are stillextremely amicable when it comes to co-parentingJack, even a year after their split.
“They are very friendly and seem happy when they are together with their son,” the source told PEOPLE two months ago.

The former couple announced the sad news witha joint statementon Facebook, explaining that “we tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed.”
“Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward,” they continued. “Westill have love for each other, will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”

“Divorce sucks. But at the end of the day, we’ve got a great kid whose got two parents who love him very much,” he said. “And we’re finding a way to navigate this while still remaining friends and still being kind to one another. It’s not ideal, but yeah, I think both of us are actually probably doing better.”
Although Faris claimed her ex-husband’s comment felt “more dramatic than it is,” she agreed that “Chris and I have a great friendship and Jack is so happy and so loved.”
