philanthropist Jessica Alba is raising her kids the RIGHT way


JESSICA Alba has revealed how she includes her kids in her charity work. The actress and co-founder of The Honest Company is already taking action when it comes to teaching her daughters Honor Marie, 4, and Haven Garner, 13 months, the benefits of giving back. “I talk to Honor about not wasting and recycling. I talk to her about having so many things and that there are children out there who don’t have what she has,” she said.

“So when she is done playing with something or outgrows something, it goes to a baby who doesn’t have it. Honor is just running her mouth about her observations on the world, and her desire to be a doctor mermaid. I think Haven will be walking soon and every day she is saying a new word — right now it’s hot.

I am really into schedules. It helps me stay sane. You will never be perfect so just trying to take it one day at a time, do as much as you can and live in the moment.”

How is it Suri's fault/mistake that her parents didn't raise her 'right'?

maybe im being too paranoid

lol, I'm with you on the wank baiting thing. I can feel it coming b/c fyi to people who do/don't have kids: you could be an A+ parent and still have awful kids. You could be a shitty parent and still have great kids. Just saying, not everyone is perfect, not everyone turns out "right".

and maybe it's a California thing, or just where I'm from in California, but I grew up in the 80s and in kindergarten we were taught to recycle and not waste food b/c other people aren't as privileged as we are. You know, normal human things like that. It's not a new concept at all.

and begin parenting wank????

lol, ikr?

I want to say something bitchy and cynical. but, you know what good for her. Based on what we see of grown up celeb kids, some of obviously weren't told the most basic shit and how good they have it.

I was the little asshole that when I got "There are homeless people who are hungry speech eat your food" I replied with "Well they are going to dig through the trash anyways so I'm helping them out"

She's so gorgeous ugh. And perfect <3
actxappalledx 17th-Sep-2012 09:58 pm (UTC)
She's so pretty, even if she is talentless. And I think it's pretty awesome that she's trying to instill these types of values in her kids from a young age

Good for her. I hate seeing obvious recyclables in the trash. >:(
_pinkpornstar_ 17th-Sep-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
I schedule my entire life. I hate when things go off-schedule.
bmblebeela 17th-Sep-2012 10:34 pm (UTC)
does she also teach her children to be proud of their heritage?

o wait...
marshmallowtoot 18th-Sep-2012 12:14 am (UTC)

I can't make myself like her. I feel like I'm odd because I don't even find her that pretty or smart :/

bittermunchkin 18th-Sep-2012 01:33 am (UTC)
On some other post people who've worked around celebs were saying she's one of the rudest they've ever encountered.
marshmallowtoot 20th-Sep-2012 03:08 am (UTC)

bittermunchkin 18th-Sep-2012 01:33 am (UTC)
