The “Modern Family” actress shares sons Oliver, 17, and twins John and Gustave, 15, with her ex-husband, Scott Phillips, whom she divorced in 2018.
When asked if her sons ever talk to her about more personal and intimate subjects, she said with a laugh, “No. I have a lot of purposefully scattered about the house books that are informational about sex, drugs, what to avoid, how to not get people pregnant and not get diseases.
Bowen, 54, added that she is “constantly” trying to talk to Oliver, 17, and twins John and Gustave, 15, “about things like that,” but it’s hard. “Basically I’m in the desert right now. It’s like I got dumped by three guys that I was madly in love with, and I’m like, ‘Hey! I’m right in the kitchen!’ And they never show up,” she joked.
Bowen also compared herself to being as “desperate” as she was in high school when she “had a crush on a boy.”The “Hysteria” actress, pictured here with her sons in March 2023, joked that her boys “dumped” her when they grew up.Bowen, pictured here on Thursday at “Good Morning America,” previously said she’s not afraid to be a “mean mom.”The “Happy Gilmore” actress shares her sons with her ex-husband, Scott Phillips, pictured here with their sons in July 2014.
However, she clarified parents “can’t freak out” if they don’t like the response because “all kids get in trouble at some point.”“The best advice I ever got was to not fear being a ‘mean mom.’ Don’t worry if your kids don’t like you — it probably means you’re doing something right. My kids are starting to like me but at least once a week, they say, ‘Oh no, you’re still “But I see how my kids have turned out. I love them and I think they’re hilarious. I love hanging out with them,” she continued.
