Drew Barrymore and Pamela Anderson had a recent heart-to-heart conversation about motherhood that turned emotional. On Monday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show," the "Baywatch" alum revealed what she did to ensure her and Tommy Lee's two sons grew up protected. "My kids didn’t know they had a security guard at school," Anderson shared.  "I hired someone to be an assistant PE instructor just to be there ‘cause people were trying to take them off the schoolyard," Anderson explained. "I had to find clever ways to kind of make them feel everything was normal, but I needed to know eyes were on them and not, you know, I was not going to take that chance." Pamela and Tommy share Brandon, 26 and Dylan, 25.

Barrymore is a mother-of-two herself and sympathized with Anderson's struggle to protect her children during their formative years. "I so understand.

I get it," Barrymore said on the verge of tears. "Don’t f--- with my kids.This is not OK.They didn’t sign up for this." The show's host shares her daughters, Olive, 10 and Frankie, 8 with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman.

Barrymore and Anderson found common ground on being in the limelight at an early age. Drew suggested that their early careers "set them up" for being the parents that they are. "Maybe, our whole lives were the best things for setting us up as parents," she told Anderson.
