Hilary Duffis not losing sleep over unsolicited criticism about her parenting.
“I’ve seen stuff on the internet a couple years back when we were at Disneyland and I posteda picture of Lucaand I kissing on the lips,” she recalled. “People were like, ‘That’s disgusting.’ ”
She continued of her only child with exMike Comrie, “First of all, he was 3. Kiss your kids, and anyone who doesn’t like it can hit unfollow. Not interested in what you have to say.”
“People can be like, ‘Oh you’reholdingthat child? He’s 6.’ Yeah I swing him over my head, when his legs are tired I hold him — it’s a little hard right now — but yeah, I give piggyback rides,” Duff continued. “Peoplejust have all these crazy judgments, and I think it’s best to not listen and laugh it off.”
Of his little sister on the way (whom Duff is expecting with boyfriendMatthew Koma), the star said Luca is “excited” but that “it was a big conversation to have” between herself and her son.
“I was also shooting in New York at the time, so I waited a little bit to tell him until I could be home with him,” she explained. “But I think he’s going to be a great big brother. He’s such a sweet kid and has such a gentle soul, so I know he’s going to be great with her.”
Duff — who has partnered withJifand theBoys & Girls Clubs of Americaon acontest that’ll give a child $15,000to fund an idea that helps others — called Luca a “really sweet, sensitive boy,” recalling a time when he made her feel like a million bucks.
“It was just one of those mornings where everything that could have gone wrong was wrong, and we were running late,” she said. “I was burning the toast over and over again, and I think I had literally been through three pieces of toast. He was finishing his homework, and it was just crazy, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I just suck right now.’ And I said it out loud.”
Added theLizzie McGuirealum, “And he was like, ‘What?’ I was like, ‘I’m just … I’m burning everything, I’m burning the toast, and I can’t do anything right right now.’ And he said, ‘You don’t suck,you’re the best mommy. You’re doing the best you can do. And I really like burnt toast.’ “
