The celebrity mom confesses it was a "parenting fail." By Parents Editors Published on October 22, 2021 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Swing set squabbles and playground problems return now that children are back at school. However, what happens on the playground does not always stay at the playground. For celebrity couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, advice on how to handle such squabbles can vary. In a recent segment of Ellen DeGeneres's series Mom Confessions, Kunis revealed that her daughter came home from school one day and recounted an interaction she had at recess, where a fellow child had pushed her. Kunis reflected on her reaction and the advice she gave her daughter as a "parenting fail," especially after seeing how Kutcher reacted to her words. Mila Kunis Says She's Raising Her Kids to Be People She 'Would Be Friends With' "My daughter came back and she was like, 'Such and such little kiddo pushed me,'" Kunis said. "And I instinctually said, 'Did you push her back?' And my daughter's like, 'No!'" This tip came as quite a shock to both Kunis' daughter and Kutcher, who overhead the interaction take place. In response, Kunis told her daughter, "You stand up for yourself, and you say, 'No, thank you,'" adding that on flat surfaces, it is OK to push back. Kunis did say the story could get her in trouble. That could be because Kunis and Kutcher are no strangers to raising a couple of eyebrows when it comes to their parenting style. Over the summer, the pair said in a podcast that they don't bathe their children unless they can "see dirt on them." This sparked a national conversation on the appropriate amount of times to wash yourself, with fellow celebrity parents even weighing in.
