'She's 5 going on 13': Drew Barrymore reveals the struggles of parenthood while posting snap of her daughter Olive with pink hair and 'attitude'

Drew Barrymore is a patient and wise mom.

On Monday, the 42-year-old shared an anecdote on Instagram about her five-year-old daughter Olive, who was not speaking to Barrymore after the actress went away for a few days.

As the Charlie's Angels star profiled Olive, she quipped that the little one is 'five going on 13.'

The Whip It star detailed how she addressed the incident with her oldest child.

She wrote on Instagram: 'Sunday in the park with Olive. She's 5 going on 13. She looks like a 90s grunge girl. And has the attitude to go with it.

'She's mad because mom has been out of town. I’m teaching her the word "reentry" and that it can take a day. Let her get her mood out of her system and i tell her i understand. And as soon as we can, let's get back to our adventurer life.

'I am kind, patient and loving, because i truly do understand. By last night she came to my bed, and crawled in and we were back in each other's arms. #momsanddaughters.'

Barrymore's post about her youngest daughter carried a different tone as the actress mostly focused on Frankie's new jacket. 

The Oscar winner wrote: 'Sunday in the park with Frankie (in her @jellymallow_ms jacket) that @sumigeem got for her ! Thank you again! We all love it so!!!!!!!!

'Frnakie[sic] is happy and doing her thing! Light as a feather. But then again, she almost always is. Kids are all so different. And today we play. Family day,' she said.

One of the recent trips that might have upset Olive was Barrymore's appearance at Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Health Summit in New York on Saturday.

The 50 First Dates star served as a Goop panelist during the event, and wore a 'Dear Drew' striped top beneath a brown blazer, black pants, and matching heels selected by stylist Lee Harris. 

Hairstylist Lona Vigi coiffed the ombré blonde tresses on the Golden Globe winner - turning 43 next month - and make-up artist Debra Ferullo made sure she was camera ready for the trendy convention.
