Matthew Broderick Reveals His Secret To Parenting
Matthew Broderick is back on the big screen with Wonderful World. A lot has happened since he was gone. He’s now a dad to three kids…I am sure that is a job in itself. In a recent interview with Parade magazine he talked about staying positive and his secret to parenting. Here are the highlights:
On staying positive: “When I’ve been unhappy, usually something good happens and it cheers me up. But I’ve also gotten help through books that I’ve read, and I’ve gone to psychiatrists. I’ve done everything I can think of to improve my attitude, so there isn’t only one thing that always cheers me up.”
On his parenting secret: “The father thing is basically improv. I’m just making it up as we go along. I love being a father, but I don’t have any advice about it. I guess I could say the same thing about my marriage, basically. It just develops and changes and I’m very lucky with who I ended up. And we’ve been together a pretty long time.”
On keeping ahead of his son: “The other day he was having an argument with me. He was like, ‘Can I just say something?’ I was like, ‘No, I know what you’re gonna say.’ He said, ‘How is it ever possible to know what somebody’s gonna say before they say it?’ And I said, ‘I guess it isn’t.’ So where could I go from there?”
On the challenge of having the twins: “They sleep through the night now. And, basically, they’re very easy to take care of. But they had colds over Christmas and they would wake up every two hours coughing. It’s really hard because one would hear the other cry and start crying too, so that was absolutely exhausting. But I won’t lie, we have plenty of help because you can’t really handle them alone.”
