Sultry actress Megan Fox is a mum of two boys, Noah, 21 months and Bhodi, 4 months but just because she’s in the movie business, doesn’t mean she’s going to make her boys watch TV anytime soon.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star recently told Parents magazine about taking of her young sons. “It’s really hard to manage because I also don’t let them watch TV. It’s not like I’m going to sit Noah in front of the television so I can take care of Bodhi,” Fox explains. “I have to figure out how to incorporate Noah into the process and have him help me take care of Bodhi and make sure he doesn’t get jealous and make sure nobody’s neglected and everybody’s needs are being met. As a mom it’s hard because I don’t feel like I’m ever giving either one of them 100 percent of my attention or 100 percent of myself, so I carry a lot of guilt. Do they each understand how special they are and how much I love them? And are they understanding that they’re unique? It’s hard to make each one feel like an individual when you have to raise them together and manage them together all of the time. So that’s the most difficult part.”
While TV is a no-no for the actress’ kids, she doesn’t have an issue with letting them watch movies.
“I don’t watch television because it’s just too much it overwhelms me. I just can’t deal with it,” she adds. “But I do let them watch movies. Movies are so nostalgic and they can remind us of these amazing times in our childhood. I remember going to the theater to see movies with my dad or my mom and those are special moments for me. One day they’re gonna watch television. I can’t keep it from them forever. My intention is to keep it away as long as possible or to introduce it through Apple TV so they’re not being exposed to the commercials constantly. My goal is no computers, no cell phones until at least eighth grade.”
