Robin Wright Shares ‘Huge’ Parenting Regret With Ex Sean Penn
HuffPost
The “House of Cards” said that she and Penn didn’t give their kids “what they needed” at the time.
Robin Wright and Sean Penn’s two children are grown now, but the “House of Cards” star is reflecting on one major regret she has about raising them.
“I have a huge regret as a mother and have experienced the fallout of this regret for many years with my kids — I wasn’t hard enough on them,” Wright said in a new interview with the Sunday Times.
Wright, who was married to Penn from 1996 to 2010, said that her Oscar-winning ex was tougher on the kids, “but he was gone so much of the time.”
“He’d come back and be the policeman and then he’d leave me with the residue,” Wright shared. “Then I would soften the blow. We were both extremes. They didn’t get that grey area in the middle, which is stern, and that is what they needed.”
The two actors share a 34-year-old daughter, Dylan, and a son named Hopper, 32.
