No sweat! Jenny Mollen doesn’t worry about the parenting police while raising her and Jason Biggs’ two sons, she told Moms Like Us hosts Christina Garibaldi and Stroller in the City’s Brianne Manz on Wednesday, August 12.
When one Instagram troll slammed her for “getting an IV drip,” for example, the Arizona native had the best response. “I think I wrote back, ‘Look, my husband is famous for f–king a pie [in American Pie],” she recalled. “‘I think I have bigger fish to fry and bigger things to worry about than this photo.’”
“I have definitely had, like, flashes of … forgetting that I’m talking to a 6-year-old,” the I Like You Just the Way I Am author explained. “I’ll be like, ‘Put your clothes on. You’re an adult.’ And he’s like, ‘No, I’m not.’ It’s hard.”
She and Biggs plan to continue keeping their kids home from school in the fall. Mollen explained, “I just don’t feel like we know enough about the virus. … I don’t think they have the infrastructure at this point to be able to make it work. And for my son who doesn’t even want to keep his shoes on, I don’t trust that he’s going to keep his mask on in a classroom setting or anywhere.”
