As a dedicated follower of Eva Mendes and her journey as a mother, I can empathize with her struggles and appreciate her openness about them. Growing up with a loving family that was also chaotic and filled with anxiety reminds me of my own upbringing – only difference being, my parents were Irish and not Cuban!
Eva Mendes views her parenting as a work in progress.
The actress from “Hitch” (who has two daughters, Esmeralda aged 10 and Amada aged 8, with longtime partner Ryan Gosling) typically keeps her children away from the limelight. However, she has spoken openly about her challenges as a parent in recent times.
Eva expressed on the October 15th episode of ‘Parenting & You With Dr. Shefali’ that one pattern she finds particularly challenging is losing her temper and raising her voice. She clarified that she doesn’t typically yell when her children need her, but when she does, it’s a problem for her. She added that the yelling, regardless of its tone, feels culturally ingrained to her.
The 50-year-old went on, expressing difficulty in keeping calm amidst the noise and shouting. What’s most challenging for me is this chaos and uproar.
Eva, the daughter of Cuban parents Juan Carlos Mendez and Eva Perez Suarez, mentioned that even though she grew up immersed in love, fear had an impact on her upbringing as well.
Eva expressed her sincere wish not to find herself in 20 years saying, “Oh dear,” due to regrets about raising fear, as she finds this unfair for the children. She also shared her concern that she may unwittingly pass on pressure via fear, much like how she was brought up.
The author of children’s books openly acknowledged that, like many parents, she has unintentionally found herself ensnared in a typical predicament while raising her own children.
In her twenties, she confidently declared that she wouldn’t turn out like her parents. However, as time passed, she found herself becoming more and more like her mother, whom she deeply respects and holds in high regard. Despite this, she acknowledged that her childhood home was filled with a great deal of chaos, shouting, anxiety, and turmoil, even though it was a loving household.
Despite acknowledging her mother’s challenging childhood and traumatic experiences as a potential reason for her behavior, the actress from The Other Guys candidly confessed, “I felt a great deal of shame because I thought, ‘I have such a privileged life. My mom struggled to get here. I was the only one born in America. How can I possibly complain?’
Regarding online critics who target mothers, Eva disclosed that her time in the entertainment sector strangely equipped her to deal with the internet’s negative commentators.
She acknowledged that her long-term experience in acting and entertaining, which includes handling lots of criticism as a public figure, has significantly prepared her for parenthood. She expressed, ‘I can say, “OK, I understand this isn’t about me personally.” I don’t feel judged.’
