COVER.METALNATION.ORG Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon have learned a few things since becoming parents. As mom to Ava, 23, and Deacon, 19, with ex Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee, 10, with husband Jim Toth, Witherspoon, 46, jokes, "we're just sharing our tips." As in: "I know you wish that, but we have to go to school."

COVER.METALNATION.ORG Wyatt, 8, and Dimitri, 6, are the children of Kutcher, 44, and his wife Mila Kunis "We both value our large families. And I think a lot about Dr. Becky Kennedy and her parenting philosophy. Being a happy parent is not your responsibility.

COVER.METALNATION.ORG It is your responsibility to nurture happy, resilient children. The benefit of a scraped knee!" The new Netflix film Your Place or Mine stars Kutcher and Witherspoon, who discuss parenting in a different generation. They first cross paths in 2003 (according to the movie).

COVER.METALNATION.ORG He asks, "You know that incident where you would nod off on the phone? "I predict that my children will have primarily text-based relationships with their peers. Just give me a call, I say!"

COVER.METALNATION.ORG Witherspoon claims: "There comes a time when you have to stop texting. I explain the value of picking up the phone to my older children. Direct communication has a tendency to be very direct. However, youngsters of that age dislike being called. They say, "Ugh, it's my mother!""

COVER.METALNATION.ORG But Kutcher is clear, at least in one respect, when it comes to self-care for parents.
