Academy Award winning famous actress and film producer Reese Witherspoon is very happy like other divorced parents as holidays are approaching. Reese will have a wonderful time to share custody of her young children, Ava,9 and Deacon, 5, on those special days. "I think the most important thing is to be a grownup," she says, "and not let any kind of feelings affect how you deal with your children."
Reese and Ryan Phillippe got divorced in June - that means having "a lot of communication" with her ex-husband and "just being very open. I'm very lucky in that we raise our kids to just be happy," the actress, 32, said Sunday in Beverly Hills while promoting her film Four Christmases - a comedy that focuses on the challenges of blended families. "I think the most important thing is the children. What do they want, what makes them feel comfortable?"
In one of her film, Reese Witherspoon played the role of the daughter of divorced parents who, at first, lacks any parenting skills. Reese very well relate to this role."When I first held my baby, Ava, [that] was the first time I'd ever held a baby in my life," she said. "So I understand that sort of fear or not being a good mom. It took me a long time to feel really comfortable in the role of being a mother." Reese is very excited and eagerly waiting for the holidays.
