She’s known for her theatrics and bold moves on stage, but it’s not always about flashing lights and cheering fans forPink.
The singer, who is about to wrap herTrauma World Tourin November, is opening up about the struggles she faces as a working mother, particularly when it comes to life on the road with her two children — sonJameson Moon, 2½, and daughter Willow Sage, 8 — with husbandCarey Hart.

The singer, who has often sharedher experiences as a working mom, also reveals the self-doubt she has faced and the mom guilt she has been forced to confront in those moments.
“[I’ve said] to myself, ‘There’s a reason why women don’t do this, there’s a reason why moms don’t do this,’ ” she adds in herBillboardcover interview.
Pink previously told PEOPLE how her life as a musician changed after her marriage in 2006 and the birth of her children with Hart, 44.
“I’d say the hardest part isjust trying to figure it all out. I signed up for this when I was 16 and now I have children and I have a marriage,” said the “So What” singer.

Pink tellsBillboardthat she has had to think more about what her children want now, especially as her daughter gets olderand develops her own interests.
“The last couple of months, Willow was over it,” she says. “She wants to be home and do BMX and swim team and gymnastics and all the s— that an 8-year-old wants to do. So she was asking to go home, and that’s when I knew: From here on out, it changes.”
Pink has said in the past that she would stop touring if it made her children happy.
It seems that her kids still remain her biggest fans either way, though. After she lost out on best pop vocal album at this year’sGrammy Awards, she shared a sweet snapshot of a handcrafted trophy from her children.
“Thanks Kids:) my favorite kind of award,” shecaptioned the photo, which showed Willow smiling while holding a foil Grammy Award.
