25+ Celebrity Parents Who Are Known for Being Stricter Than Usual
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo is a highly influential singer and actress who has led the way for Latin-American culture in America. On top of that, she’s known for being a strict parent and for her, every Sunday is a sacred day that family must spend together.
She calls Sunday ‘Sunday Funday’ and the point of the day is to spend time with one another as a family together. This can involve any number of activities, just so long as they’re together as a family, and that rule is alway non-negotiable.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore became the poster girl of the ’90s and has become synonymous with rom coms over the years. Despite being a bleeding heart romantic, Barrymore is also incredibly caring as a mother and has made her children the central focus of her adult life – even putting her career on hold to spend more time with them.
Overall, she’s quite a liberal parent but is said to ban TV in her home and is very careful about what her kids eat. No junk food or sweets without mom.
Madonna
Despite being a busy pop star, this Madonna is also the mother of a whopping six children! Apparently, she’s the disciplinarian in the home and doesn’t allow sweets, junk food, or dairy, keeping her kids on a strict macrobiotic diet.
Ex-husband Guy Ritchie is the one who spoils them with chocolates and sweets, which might be why some of her kids seem to prefer him. Her two teens, Rocco and Lourdes apparently think she is “too controlling” and reportedly are distancing themselves from her.
Kelly Ripa
Ripa is known for being a strict parent and whether her children approve or not, her methods seem to work pretty well. She is known for being incredibly strict about her children’s phone activity, regulating study times, regulating TV time, and doing her best to know that they’re on track and respectful.
She’s a disciplinarian and insists on enforcing her rules in the house, even if that means snooping through their rooms or phones, or telling her daughter what to wear.
