In a recent discussion, actor Ryan Reynolds candidly shared his experiences with the challenges of parenting, admitting that even he, as a famous Hollywood figure, sometimes struggles with his children. “Like any parent, I have moments where I just snap,” he confessed during his talk at Journal House. The 45-year-old, who shares daughters James, 7, Ines, 5, and Betty, 2, with his wife, Blake Lively, humorously remarked about the chaos of raising three spirited girls, joking, “Sometimes, I think they have rabies.”
Reynolds highlighted the importance of addressing mistakes made in the heat of the moment, emphasizing that it’s not the initial outburst that matters, but rather how one responds afterward. He noted, “In parenting, just like in life, our biggest blunders often provide the most valuable lessons.” He encourages his daughters to “not waste your mistakes,” suggesting that shame can overshadow the opportunity to learn from them. Reflecting on his own “brutal mistakes,” he expressed that these have been more enlightening than his successes. Additionally, he acknowledged his father’s shortcomings, indicating that he has also gleaned wisdom from those experiences, saying, “He made a lot of mistakes—some I’m grateful for.”
Reynolds’ candidness about the challenges of parenting during the pandemic resonated with many. He described the chaos of remote schooling as akin to experiencing the “tenth circle of hell,” admitting that the monotonous phrase “these unprecedented times” drove him to the brink. “My kids haven’t been in school for five months. I’m losing my f—king mind!” he exclaimed, illustrating the shared struggles many parents faced during the tumultuous period.
