Reese Witherspoon has admitted that she is constantly driving her children around.

The Walk The Line actress, who has two children - Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4 - from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe, told website MomLogic that motherhood has its drawbacks.

"No one warns you that you don't sleep the first year. You basically become a limo driver by the time they're nine. I'm a professional driver now," she said.

However, Witherspoon insisted that she takes charge of the in-car music when ferrying her children around.

"I force my children to listen to my radio stations and they listen to a lot of country music. Very unhappily!" she said.
