Thomas Gibson talks about his children

Thomas Gibson, 44, who is best known as Greg on Dharma & Greg, talked to Parade Magazine about what his life is like with children. Since his family lives in San Antonio, but his new show Criminal Minds keeps him in Los Angeles, he sees his children during weekends,

[My wife] Cristina will say, ‘Enjoy your nap on the plane.’ That’s the most sleep I’ll get after I hear those voices calling, ‘Let’s play Daddy Monster!’ They have insatiable energy. My mother tells me I was just like that—bouncing off the walls.

He has learned how to raise children from his mother.

It’s [his childhood] made me realize that I don’t want to suffocate my children. It’s hard not to do. In a few years, my kids will tell you otherwise, but I think that I am pretty sensitive to it.

Thomas has taken a few cues about fatherhood from his character Hotch on Criminal Minds,

As an FBI agent, ‘Hotch’ has a big responsibility. He also thinks about giving his little boy a better life. Believe me, I think about that with my sons and daughter. It’s a very tricky thing.

Gibson has sons J.P., 7, and Travis, 4 1/2 and daughter Agatha Marie, 2 1/2, with wife Cristina.

I love him on that show. He is so good at being serious.:) But I do miss him and Jenna Elfman being together. They were funny. :) I wonder if they still talk and if he will share his advice with her and Bodhi?

Greg couldn’t let Dharma have the spotlight could he?

Just kidding.

I guess it must be a family name but I just couldn’t call a sweet little girl Agatha.
