Brooke Shields Says She Has Become More Lenient With Her Daughters

(MENAFN- IANS) Los Angeles, July 6 (IANS) Hollywood actress Brooke Shields has changed her parenting style. The actress has said that she has become "more lenient" with her daughters.

The 60-year-old film star has Rowan, 22, and Grier, 19, with her husband Chris Henchy, and Brooke admits that her parenting style has evolved over the years, reports 'Female First UK'.

During an appearance on Today with Jenna and Friends, the actress said, "Holiday plans have sort of all been overtaken by my daughters' friends. So they're all coming to our house. And what's been interesting this time is that there's boyfriend situations, and there's only so many beds. And it's a discussion”.

As per 'Female First UK', the actress shared that she's adopted a more relaxed approach with her youngest daughter.

She also confessed to being more lenient in her parenting style than Chris, 61. The actress, who has been married to Chris since 2001, said, "I'm usually the tougher one, but for some reason, because they all want to be there, there's something that just makes me feel like, 'Well, at least they all want to be together'. If they can be respectful and certain things can be where they're supposed to be. I don't know. It's weird. I just cannot believe that I'm the person who's more lenient when I didn't even lose my virginity until I was 22. I was in a locked box”.

Last year, meanwhile, Brooke revealed that she was still adjusting to life as an "empty nester". The actress joked about having mixed feelings when her daughters returned home from college over the festive season.

During an appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', she quipped, "I'm an empty nester. Then, they came home for Christmas. It was great, and then, I couldn't wait for them to leave”.

She recalled feeling "so sad" when her kids left home to go to college.
