The Nationwide presenter opened up about the 'different dynamic' in this phase of parenthood with her three children as they are all grown up and independent now
The RTE broadcaster shares three children, Ellen , Joe and Heather, who is almost 20, with her husband Donagh McGrath.
"That takes you by surprise in a way that you don't expect," Anne said. "Each phase has different aspects to it. It's a different dynamic when they're young adults, you have to try not to be such a mammy, she laughs. "It goes by so quickly, that's the bit you can't fathom. It all feels like just yesterday. It's a different phase now, there's boyfriends and girlfriends, and that's nice, much more grown up.
"I was torn a lot of the time," she said. "You'd be getting into the car to go to West Cork and you don't see them from one end of the day to the next. Working mother's guilt; what's new? We all have it and it's real. I was torn for a long time, and I blamed myself a lot.
