Mila Kunis shares unusual way she and Ashton Kutcher are raising their children: 'No closed doors'
By Merryn Porter |
Hollywood power couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have certainly copped some flak in the past for their unconventional parenting techniques.
Who can forget the backlash after Kunis admitted they don't bathe their kids every day, but waited until they "see the dirt on them." It even led them to make a hilarious follow-up video of them bathing their children.
?Now, they have gone one step further, explaining they have an open-door policy inside their home, which includes bathrooms.

The Bad Moms actress, 39, shares two children with Kutcher, 44, a daughter Wyatt, 7, and son Dimitri, 5.
During an interview with E! News, she said there were no closed doors in their home, and "that includes the bathroom."
"It's just one of those [things] where, for better or for worse, as a family, and the kids, [we] have all kinds of embodied bodily functions as a very standard norm," she said.
While she said she never imagined before having kids that she would be able to go to the bathroom with the door open, that changed once she had children.

"It doesn't matter if I closed it. It never made a difference," she said, adding her children would be knocking "every two seconds," prompting her to give up.
"I was like, 'Oh forget it, just keep the door open'."
The couple has previously admitted they do not always agree on their parenting style, with ?the two clashing in the past.
While discussing parenting fails for The Ellen DeGeneres Show's Mom Confessions YouTube series, she admitted telling her daughter to handle a preschooler who pushed her by pushing her back.
?She said Kutcher was in the room and on hearing her advice said, "Nooooo."
However, they do agree on another aspect of parenting: their kids will not be inheriting their parents' fortune.
"My kids are living a really privileged life, and they don't even know it," said Kutcher on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast. "And they'll never know it, because this is the only one that they'll know.
"I'm not setting up a trust for them. ?If my kids want to start a business, and they have a good business plan, I'll invest in it. But they're not getting trusts.
"We'll end up giving our money away to charity and to various things."
Kunis even went as far as to say in 2017 that their children would not be receiving Christmas gifts from their parents.
