Riley Keough Says She Doesn't Want Her Kids to Ever Feel Like They Have to Take Care of Her 'Unless They Literally Do'

Riley Keough doesn't want to burden her kids.

Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, Jan. 15, the actress, 35, spoke about dealing with grief and mental health awareness, saying that when she gets older, she doesn't want her kids to ever feel like they have to take care of her. Keough shares her daughter Tupelo, 2, with husband Ben Smith-Petersen.

"I don't know if it's just inevitable, but as a parent, I don't ever want my kids to feel like they have to take care of me or unless they literally do," Keough said.

"But I mean like, emotionally, I don't want my children to feel like my happiness is their responsibility," she continued.

Keough went on to say eventually, people have to accept that they're going to do things wrong and repeat mistakes that their own parents made.

"And then your child is gonna end up talking to the therapist about you," she said. "So for me, I just try not to read into it."

Elsewhere in the podcast, Keough was asked by host Alex Cooper if she's going to parent her daughter any differently than how her mom Lisa Marie Presley parented her.

"I think she was such an amazing parent and she wanted us to have, I think like her father did, these amazing experiences all the time," Keough shared. "For me personally, I think that the problem there could be for some that when you're used to so much, it's hard to find joy in simple things."

"And so I really want my children to be able to find joy playing in the backyard and doing normal kids stuff and not need elephants and circus and all these things all the time."

And while Keough said that's what she would most likely do differently, she acknowledged that her mom didn't mean to do any harm.

"I think her intention was really wanting to give everything she could to her kids," the actress explained.
