Nicole Snooki Polizzi misses the early years with her son
The 35-year-old reality star - who is best known for being a cast member of the MTV reality show 'Jersey Shore' - has Lorenzo, 11, Giovanna and five-year-old Angelo with her husband Jionni LaValle and has noticed that her eldest "definitely doesn't need Mommy anymore" now that he is growing up.
She told People: "He definitely doesn't want Mommy anymore. I miss him being like cuddly and like always like wanting Mommy.
"There's still moments where he'll hug me or whatever, but he's definitely growing into himself and starting to like girls and stuff like that. It makes me upset, but at the same time, I'm so proud of him and seeing him grow and excel in sports and everything. But I definitely do miss Lorenzo being four years old and wanting me."
The MTV star also noted that it is "crazy" in her house trying to get her brood through the summer holidays and is looking forward to back-to-school season so she can enjoy some time to herself as she admitted she has to be "careful" with her cleaning duties when they are at home.
She said: "It's a little crazy getting everybody together, I am excited for them to get back to school, so that I have the time to go get my nails done and have some mommy time.
"It's always so crazy in my house. I'm careful with what I use in the house, especially with cleaning stuff. I love Green Gobbler because of the bleach and odor-free products. It's perfect to use around my kids. I've always used them though, and they have the clogs, which I wore in my TikTok."
