I don’t think her comment was weird. She was being honest and perhaps she worded herself that way because it was more conversational in the interview. It really is the truth, unfortunately. The world has a lot of issues and raising children in a safe environment does not always protect them from what happens when they have to step outside of that.

I thought it was a really funny comment. I think it’s way more refreshing to hear a something like that, which was obviously a self-deprecating joke about her worries she and Liev are going to screw up, than an overblown comment like like, “oh my child is very into art” in a way that sounds like the kid is perusing Van Gogh at the National Gallery when in reality he/she just likes to scribble in a coloring book like every small child.

People are too serious, we say the college fund is either for college or bail money whichever is needed…

Why are some people on this board so damn touchy? Jeez. Its like they always look for an excuse to pounce. People, read the source. She wasn’t being serious. This is nothing but a joke that didn’t go over well, and she quickly realized it.

“The actress catches herself and laughs, before quickly apologising, “Sorry I didn’t mean to go there.”

Why was this quote left out, by the way?

It’s just a phrase, and a joke phrase at that- one that I’ve heard from tons of people when asked about their kids. “Doing my best, parenting is hard, hope I don’t screw them up”. It’s like saying you hope you kid doesn’t end up in therapy b/c you made them eat vegetables, or left them crying at daycare or whatever. It’s just different for her b/c its printed in a magazine.

I agree Eternal Canadian. I mean, I know what she’s saying, but I guess it just sounded kind of weird.

What a strange comment! “They’re so surprising and endlessly fascinating and soon they’re going to have problems. Now they’re just innocent little beings, learning and growing, but soon they’ll be all f–ked up.”

Maybe instead of focusing on “soon they’re going to have problems” and “soon they’ll be all f–ked up” perhaps Naomi and Liev should focus on doing everything she can to ensure there’s no problems and they won’t be all f–ked up?

So strange she said something like that.
