Money, money, money.
It makes the world go round, doesn't it?
Well, for Mayim Bialik, the The Big Bang Theory star says that money has caused her kids to feel "entitled."
And she doesn't quite know what to do about it.
Money, money, money.
It makes the world go round, doesn't it?
Well, for Mayim Bialik, the The Big Bang Theory star says that money has caused her kids to feel "entitled."
And she doesn't quite know what to do about it.
A lot of this has to do with the fact that the Big Bang Theory actress is actually a neuroscientist in real life.
With this parenting style, she raises her kids by doing a lot of body closeness and being super empathetic.
It's called: "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way".
She's also been outspoken before about breastfeeding her children as long as possible.
Due to this, she breastfed her youngest son until he was four!
The actress even said that the criticism "made her cry."
"People say really mean things!” she said.
Since she gets so many questions about it, the actress — who's vegan herself — even created a YouTube video to answer everyone's questions.
"Children can thrive without eating meat and without eating dairy. The only thing that vegans can't get from the foods that we eat is vitamin B12."
She solves that issue by giving them vitamins.
Environmental enthusiast Alicia Silverstone is raising her eight-year-old son vegan.
She's even said that it's helped their relationship over the years!
“I can just say ‘no, thank you’ and we respect each other and listen to each other," she said.
"So much of that is because he’s not … a lot of it is the parenting, but a lot of it is the food. When your kid feels good, they act well.”
"The fact that they grow up in the environment that they do, we have more than one bathroom, which I didn't have as a kid," she said.
"They just talk and talk and talk, and I just listen. This includes where they want to go to dinner, what they want on the radio, and so on."
This time in an eye-opening YouTube video, titled "Why Are My Kids So Entitled".
This means not saying yes to most things (her kids think she is the meanest mommy in town).
When pondering whether she has a solution to the entitlement issue, Bialik laughs and says, "I don't know. Figuring it out as I go, like most of us."
"They seem to think that if they want something, that means they should get it."
This includes food, toys or "not having to do chores."
"It's called being a child, it's all relaxation time," Bialik said with a smile.
Um, can we get some of that relaxation time, too?
"I don't say things to them like 'because I said so,' or 'I'll give you something to cry about'" when her kids don't get their way.
While her parents had things their way growing up, Bialik cares more about what her kids want.
Answer?
MONEY.
"So, they never hear the phrase that I so often heard when I was a kid: 'because we don't have the money," she exclaimed.
And finally, the actress lets her kids know that while their opinions are valid, she can't bow down to everything that they say.
She's one smart mommy!
We have another solution, tho! She can just give all her money to us. Problem solved!
