Amanda Seyfried, a renowned actress, recently opened up about various aspects of her life during an exclusive interview. She shared details about parenting her daughter Nina, 7, and son Thomas, 4, with husband Thomas Sadoski. Her words offer a glimpse into the dynamics of their family and her approach to raising them.

Boundaries and Personal Belongings

Seyfried revealed that her seven-year-old daughter has very specific boundaries when it comes to her personal belongings. "The American Girl Dolls, he's not allowed to touch. She has very clear boundaries as to what he can touch and he can't. But if it's outside of the private zone, then it's fair game, and they're pretty good at sharing." This shows the importance she places on respecting her children's possessions and teaching them about boundaries.For instance, when it comes to certain toys or items, the daughter is firm in her stance, ensuring that her space remains her own. This sets a good example for the children and helps them understand the concept of personal property.

Differences in Sleep Cycles

The Mean Girls actress also noted that her two children are on very different sleep cycles. "My daughter sleeps in her own bed, without fail, falls asleep within minutes, says 'Good night, bye.' And my son, who's only four, goes to bed in his own bed but then has to sleep with us. And I snuggle with him — like we're in L.A. right now so we don't have his bed, so he's just sleeping in our bed. I love it."This difference in sleep patterns highlights the unique challenges and joys of parenting. While the daughter has a more independent sleep routine, the son still seeks comfort in his parents' presence. Seyfried's willingness to accommodate her son's needs shows her nurturing side.

Time for Herself on the Farm

The family currently spends most of their time on their farm in upstate New York. Seyfried finds time for herself when the kids are at school. "I sit and I crochet, or I go to the gym in the barn, or I go out to coffee with a fellow parent or a friend upstate. I get a lot of alone time on a train when I go to the city. If I have to go to the city, I take the train. And I get like an hour and 40 minutes alone time each way. And I'm always crocheting — knitting, crocheting, that's my lifestyle."This time for herself is crucial for Seyfried's well-being. It allows her to pursue her hobbies and interests, which in turn helps her be a better parent and person. The farm provides a peaceful and serene environment where she can recharge and connect with herself.

Holiday Plans and Family Time

Seyfried's upcoming holiday plans entail as little travel as possible, as being home at Christmas is "sacred" to her. "So the tradition is, really, we go, we get a tree, we decorate, and we're home for Christmas. And then my daughter and I — for New Years — fly to my best friend's house down south and spend New Years with them," adding that it's a "girls-trip" of sorts.This emphasizes the importance she places on family and tradition. Christmas is a time for them to come together and create memories, while New Years offers a chance for a special girls' trip. It shows that she values both family time and personal connections.

Preparing for the Future

Looking towards the future, Seyfried shares that she is preparing for her upcoming role in the mystery thriller The Housemaid costarring Sydney Sweeney, which begins shooting next year. The actress is also busy promoting her children's decor company, Make It Cute, which she co-founded in an effort to make children's playhouses that are both fun for kids and aesthetically pleasing in the home.This demonstrates her diverse interests and her ability to balance her career and family life. She is not only focused on her acting career but also on creating something meaningful for her children.
