The actress spoke about her parenting decision during an interview on The Kyle & Jackie O Show on KIIS FM.
“The one topic of conversation we had even prior to ever having kids was always, ‘How do you raise a child to not be an a–hole?’”
“It’s so important because we both came from pretty solid poverty backgrounds and grew up very poor and are very much self-made and are very aware of what a dollar is worth,” she added.
“Nothing’s been handed to us.”

“‘You are very poor, you have nothing. Mummy and Daddy have a bank account.’ ”

The pregnant mama is in awe of her daughter, admitting, “Ours is still little and she’s still a good person but that’s something we definitely focus on.”
The actress, who is currently promoting her new movie Bad Moms, discovered through her role that it is about accepting all types of parenting.
“If you can’t find a character to relate to, then chances are you are one of them and are in denial,” she mused.
“I think the writers did a beautiful job of creating very specific characters that people can hopefully pinpoint and be like, ‘That’s me!’ It’s very honest.”
