Rumer Willis speaks up for herself more after getting pregnant

• Rumer Willis has a “new operating system.” after getting pregnant.
• She has discovered that boundaries have replaced her urge to make other people happy.
• “And I had a different operating system.”

The “House Bunny” actress, who is expecting her first child with partner Derek Richard Thomas, has discovered that during the past several months, tougher boundaries have replaced her constant urge to make other people happy.

She said: “It’s made me upgrade so fast, like things where I used to have such a nature to be people pleasing or to not stand up for myself for little things that then would kind of get under my skin.

“I would say literally, maybe even a week after I got pregnant, all of a sudden, it was like, no, no, that’s not going to work for me anymore.

“This is what I need to do to reorient this and speak up for myself. It was like a new equation and a new puzzle all of a sudden downloaded.

“And I had a different operating system.”

The 34-year-old celebrity, who is the offspring of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has always known she wants to start a family.

Speaking to Peggy Rometo and Kimberly Van Der Beek on their ‘Bathroom Chronicles’ podcast, she said “It’s like one of those weird things that I know sometimes people have such clarity about, like ‘Oh, I want to be a musician, I want this,’ and it was never a question for me that I wanted to be a mom.

“And that just felt like such a divine purpose and something that when I started thinking about it, felt like such joy.”

Rumer is particularly excited about the prospect of going grocery shopping with her child.

She gushed: “I was talking to my partner the other day and saying, ‘You know, when I go to the farmers market, I call it church because I leave and I feel so excited.’

“And the idea of being able to bring my kids in like a little cart or something brings me so much delight, I can’t even … I can’t wait.”
