So many times celebrities's children seem to be handed everything, and that leaves them fairly out of touch with the real world. Being born into privilege is not necessarily a good thing, and in spite of raking in millions Kelly Ripa is determined to raise her kids in a way that is similar to her own upbringing. While sitting for an interview with Wendy Williams this week, Ripa talked about how she believes that if her 13-year old daughter Lola Consuelos does not like her, then she is probably doing something right.
Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, have a rule about study time that includes no phone being nearby. Lola recently broke this rule and as a result lost not only her phone, but her computer as well.
Of her parenting style, Ripa explained, according to Mail Online:
"We are like very fair parents and we will give you certain freedoms. When you want privacy in a not-private world — like, you can't have privacy and be on Instagram. I'm sorry, that's not how it works. Privacy is for if you want to write a letter or write in your journal, I'm not going to read that. But if you want to tweet about what a pain in the butt your mom is, I'm gonna see that. No, I don't think she likes me, but I don't care. I'm like, 'I'm not your friend, I'm your mom. I'm not your friend.'"
Ripa admitted that her daughter's misstep was not the end of the world, but she broke the rules and punishment comes along with that.
It is kind of refreshing to hear a celebrity who actually insists that their teen follow the rules or else, don't you think? Do you think Ripa's kids have a better chance of dodging the pitfalls that tend to often go hand-in-hand with having famous parents?
