Yahoo Lifestyle After Ashton Kutcher Revealed Their Opposing Parenting Styles, Mila Kunis Revealed She Worries About Their Kids “All The Time”
It’s natural to experience anxiety as a parent, and it sounds like Mila Kunis knows the struggle.
In case you didn’t know, Mila stars alongside Michael Keaton in the upcoming movie Goodrich. The film follows a man named Andy, played by Michael, whose life is turned upside down when his wife enters rehab, leaving him alone with their 9-year-old twins.
Mila plays Andy’s 36-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, whom he calls upon to help with her younger half-siblings in his time of need.
Family is a massive aspect of the movie, so at the premiere in Los Angeles last night, the onscreen father-daughter duo were quizzed on what they think the “biggest challenge of parenthood” is.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Mila — who shares 10-year-old Wyatt and 7-year-old Dimitri with Ashton Kutcher — confessed it’s “humanly impossible” for her to worry about her kids more than she already does.
Michael then praised Mila’s parenting, saying it looks like “it’s no sweat” whenever she’s with her kids. Although, Mila confessed that she’s not always as calm as she might look.
“I worry about my children all the time, Michael,” the Family Guy star replied. “Ashton says that I account for the worst of everything at all times. Like, I account for the escape plan all the time.”
Ashton and Mila — who’ve been married since 2015 — have long been candid about parenthood and all that comes with it. Ashton recently opened up about their opposing parenting styles and how he treats his son and daughter “differently.”
“I’ll tell you, I parent them differently. My son, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’ Like, yesterday, we were popping wheelies on a bicycle in the driveway, right? Or it’s like, ‘See if you can jump down four stairs,’” he said on the Throwbacks podcast last month. “My daughter, I just want to protect her.”
Admitting that “toxic masculinity” has likely influenced the way he parents, Ashton continued: “When my son cries, I’m like, ‘All right, what did we learn? Let’s go, let’s move on.’ But when my daughter cries, my heart is out of my body, and I can’t put it back in.”
Interestingly, the No Strings Attached star said that Mila’s approach is the opposite: “She’s very strict on our daughter and, like, a gushball with our son.”
“I think we balance each other in that way,” he added.
What do you think of Ashton’s parenting confessions? And can you relate to Mila’s excessive worrying about her kids? Let us know in the comments.
