Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to controversy. The actress was recently accused of creating on her husband Chris Martin by Vanity Fair. The 41-year-old also upset parents everywhere, when she put her children Apple and Moses on a strict low-carb diet. Now she is taking some heat for announcing that she is planning to move her kids back to London, so they can reinvent themselves.
Gwyneth Paltrow and her family recently moved to L.A from London. Now the actress is planning to uproot the family once again before they are teens. In an interview with Red, Paltrow explains her experiment:
“I don’t want my children to be teenagers in LA. No way. I’m looking at this move to America like two years, three years tops--then we will go back. It’s part of my parenting philosophy that children should get the opportunity to reinvent themselves at a few points in their childhood to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie and to experience living in different cultures. It’s an experiment.”
Paltrow also had a few choice words for people who question her methods, particularly in regards to her status as a working mother.:
"It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It makes me cross. I personally think that the work-life balance for a woman should be exactly what she feels is right for her. And nobody else can set her time schedule. And nobody else can tell her how many hours a week she needs to devote to this, that or the other. f--k what anybody else says, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. That’s what we’ve got to let go of. That idea of, 'Oh god, if I don’t show up to this concert, all the other mums are going to think I’m terrible.' Well, so f------g what. When I’m with my kids, I give them everything I have. And when I’m not, I give whatever I’m doing everything I have. And that’s my balance. I’ve made it work for me, but it doesn’t matter what my specific thing is…It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It matters what you think of yourself. And what your children think…So if anyone is going to ask my advice, I’d say, do what is right for you and don’t give a s--t what anyone else thinks."
What do you think of Paltrow's parenting experiment?
