"I need to work and I need to be home with my kids, and the kids win."

The Daily Mail reports that Hollywood actors, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck—married since 2005—chose to take their children to the farmer's market instead of indulge in the "A-list Emmy parties" that were taking place recently in "Tinsel Town."

According to the article, Garner is focusing on her home life these days. Noting the dichotomy of acting vs. raising a family, she told People Magazine, "I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids, and the kids win. [It's about] getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner."

Regarding her husband and fellow actor, Affleck, Jennifer remarked, "He's really a gentleman. And he's not afraid to laugh at himself or you."
