Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon is changing her parenting approach after feeling burnt out from over 25 years of raising kids, the 49-year-old actress admitted she’s “exhausted” from parenting her three children.
Reese shares her oldest kids, Ava (26) and Deacon (21), with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and her youngest, Tennessee (12), with ex-husband Jim Toth. She joked that when she feels too tired to parent, she asks her youngest to call his older siblings for help. “Eat the cookie. Go to bed late. Just do it,” she laughed, admitting she sometimes lets things slide out of sheer exhaustion.
The Legally Blonde star said parenting has changed for her over the years, especially now that she’s raising a preteen while her older kids are adults.
Reese also opened up about Ava, who recently entered acting. She said she’s proud her daughter is staying true to herself and not trying to copy her career.
“When I was 25, Ava was a toddler. She’s living her own path,” Reese said, adding that she admires her daughter for simply being “cool” and authentic.
