Mila Kunis knows that nobody’s perfect, and she’ll be the first to fess up to her mistakes—especially when it comes to apologizing to her two kids with husband Ashton Kutcher—daughter Wyatt Isabelle, 8, and son Dimitri Portwood, 6.
“The only thing I’ve ever felt guilty about, and I actually apologized to my 3-year-old, is when I overreact,” she told People in 2017, recalling an encounter with her then-toddler-aged daughter. “I’ll walk away, and I’ll come back, and I’ll sit her down and I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry. Mommy overreacted. Do you forgive me?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, I forgive you.’ Whether she understands what just happened or not, I want her to know that I’m as flawed as she is.”
Kunis encourages all moms to realize that their best is more than enough for their kids.
“It’s so taboo to be like, ‘I feel like I’m not perfect,'” she explained in a 2016 interview with A Plus. “You just have to know you’re doing the best you can, and that’s more than enough. I know I’m the best mom Wyatt’s ever had, and I’m the best mom for her.”
