Eva Mendes talks about raising her daughters

Eva Mendes It is Ryan Gosling they are very reserved when it comes to their family. The two are parents of two girls, aged eight and six, and do not usually expose details of their private life to the media, but Eva recently decided to use her Instagram account to talk about her motherhood and the education that the couple, who are together for 10 years, he has daughters Esmeralda and Amanda.

“I want when my daughters have problems later in their lives, the first thing they think is, ‘I have to call my mom,’ rather than ‘no, I can’t tell my mom about this,’ and that’s what I look for them, that they can look for me for anything”, he said.

She also said that she often apologizes when she is very angry or reacts inappropriately to children, something that, according to her, “happens a lot.”

“No matter how angry I get or how bad I feel about something I did to my daughters… I will always ask for forgiveness to reconnect with them,” she added.

“I talk to them and say things like, ‘Remember when you spilled milk on the car and I was driving and I reacted badly?’ Usually they’re very supportive and say, ‘It’s okay Mom, you told me to be careful,’ but there are other times they say, ‘Yeah Mom, that wasn’t nice,’ and I always tell them I’ll work on it.” .

SPANISH AT HOME

During a participation in the North American program The Talk, Eva Mendes said that it has been difficult to teach Spanish to her daughters.

Born in Miami, Florida, the actress has Latin roots, as her parents are from Cuba. Alongside her husband, Ryan Gosling, Eva revealed that Esmeralda and Amada always mix Spanish with English.

“Well, the Spanish in my house… I’m Cuban and we’re trying to teach the girls Spanish, and it’s harder than I thought,” she explained. “I speak ‘Spanglish’ and this is what they are learning. So it’s lovely, but technically it’s not a language. It’s ‘Spanglish’”.

She continued: “So our little girl says something like: ‘Mommy, my mouth hurts because I think something got stuck in my tooth.’ It’s so cute, but not very nice.”

The star also said that having children was not part of her plans, but as soon as she met Gosling and they started to relate, her thinking changed.

“I was never one of those women who really wanted kids, and after I fell in love with Ryan I was like, ‘Oh I get it. I don’t want kids, I want your kids. I want your babies.”
