They say two things are certain in life: death and taxes. And it sounds like Hilaria Baldwin has already started teaching her kids about the facts of life.
For context, Hilaria and Alec Baldwin share seven children: daughters Ilaria, 2, María, 4, and Carmen, 11, along with sons Eduardo, 4, Romeo, 6, Leonardo, 8, and Rafael, 9.
If you follow Hilaria or Alec, or even just go on the internet from time to time, you'll probably know they're suuuuper open when it comes to discussing parenting. And now, Hilaria has shared a surprising tip about how she helps her children get comfortable with the prospect of death.
Appearing on this week's episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson's Sibling Revelry podcast, Hilaria and Oliver got into a conversation about his fear of death, and how it's 'gotten worse' since he had kids. 'It's not even a selfish thing,' he said. 'It's more about my children.'
In response, Hilaria agreed that she feels the same anxieties, but that she's found a way of making sure that death isn't something her children live in fear of.
'I think I bring my kids to cemeteries a lot,' she said. 'Once you become a parent, I think that's how fragile life can be; it comes into my fears all the time. But I really feel like we spend time in cemeteries and everything from the history of it, and just also acknowledging, this is part of life.'
She continued: 'This is part of life. And there's a tremendous amount of peace there as well. And not being afraid, if not of death, but of people who have died, you know? And because I don't want anyone to be afraid of me when I die. So I try to have that kind of connection with them.'
OK, I guess it sounds a little weird... but it's also not the craziest thing I've ever heard? What do you make of this? LMK in the comments.
