Matthew McConaughey forbids his kids to say “I can’t” and “hate”
Facebook post
While stopping by Oprah Winfrey’s new Apple TV+ program, “The Oprah Conversation,” to promote his memoir, “Greenlights.” He shared how he and model Camila Alves parent their 3 children.
“We do not allow lying in the house. You cannot say the word[s] ‘I can’t’ and you can’t use the word ‘hate,’” said, instantly breaking one of his own rules. “Those three words will get you in big trouble in our house. Lying, saying ‘I can’t,’ or saying ‘I hate.’”
He also wants his kids to be humble but not shy away from their family’s success. “If a kid at school ever tells you, ‘Oh, I bet you live in a big house ’cause your dad’s famous,’ don’t bow your head. Look up and go, ‘Yeah, we do actually live in a nice house. My dad works really hard to be as good as he can at his job.’”
