There are a lot of parents in Hollywood. Some of them are a little too lax, others are the complete opposite .
They run their houses like some sort of prison camp for children , but some fans really love them for it!
Jennifer Lopez
The tightest rule about Jennifer Lopez’s household is that the family must spend every Sunday together.
She calls it “Sunday Funday”, and it doesn’t matter what they do as long as they’re together.
Mariah Carey
She is a pretty strict mom, especially when it comes to the internet, but this is for a good reason.
When her son was 7 years old, he spent $5,000 on Amazon.
Mayim Bialik
On not paying kids for chores :
“My boys think of me as fun, but I definitely have a lot of my parents’ strong worth ethic and emphasis on chores…When they ask for an allowance for their chores, I say, ‘I don’t get paid for my chores. I’m not paying you for yours.”
Kate Gosselin
She spanks her many, many children. In her own words:
“I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation.”
This choice, obviously, did not sit well with many people.
Jennifer Garner
She’s not only described herself as a “strict mom”, but she also has an issue with junk food .
“I’m not worried so much about junk food, because we don’t have it in the house”
Kelly Ripa
Kelly Ripa is a nightmare mom.
She constantly invades the privacy of her children, she sets incredibly strict rules and when she wants to find their phones (to take them away or look at the texts) she rips their rooms apart.
Gwyneth Paltrow
She doesn’t have very many rules about screen time, except one: anything her kids watch has to be in French or Spanish so they can acquire new languages as they watch.
That’s a pretty big rule.
Julie Bowen
On setting up rules :
“It’s not about everybody being happy all the time It’s about setting limits. In my house that makes my kids very unhappy, like tantrums-on-the-ground-twice-a-day unhappy. But the limits are set.”
Victoria Beckham
On being strict with her children , especially about manners:
“We’ve always been strict with the children. They have great manners. They always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ and I think that’s very important.”
