Kaley Cuoco is letting people know that she is a present and active mother when it comes to prioritizing her 19-month-old daughter Matilda Carmine Pelphrey, nicknamed "Tildy."
The actress, 38, shares her baby with fiancé Tom Pelphrey, and recently went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss motherhood.
"It's a wild ride, Jimmy," she started, calling motherhood "a lot" and recalling what she told her couple's therapist, adding: "You should all be in couple's therapy, just FYI," providing some rare details on her private romance with the Ozark star.
"And I was explaining to her…taking care of a 19-month-old is like taking care of your drunk best friend every day," she continued to the audience, who responded with laughter. "They're crying when they don't get what they want."
"You're making sure they make it to the bathroom, and cleaning their throw-up from…whatever. They're out of their minds and you're making sure they don't die, all day long. And then they black out, and you're ready to die."
"Then they wake up and are like, 'What's for breakfast?' And you're like, 'What?! Do you even know what happened last night?' Am I right, though? It's insane, and that happens every day. It's a real joy."

Her fans came to her support with encouraging responses like: "Completely understand with a 19 month old. Very very hard but oh the joy it brings. Hopefully some day it will get easier," and: "You are a true gem & you have aged like fine wine. People are on edge & projecting their insecurities on you, nothing new here," as well as: "And just when I thought I couldn't love you more… you're awesome, Kaley."
