The actress held back tears as she confessed she ‘dislikes’ herself ‘screaming’ at her children – adding she doesn’t want them to grow up in ‘fear’

Despite struggling with certain aspects of parenting, Eva noted that she is grateful that she had children when she was older

However, she admitted that the overwhelming amount of emails and constant need for attention from her children sometimes tested her patience.

She revealed that although she tries to practice gentle parenting, she finds herself returning to the way her parents raised her, which is by yelling.

‘I don’t shout when they need me. I’m never one for ‘shut up’. It’s not like a ‘mean’ scream, but that doesn’t matter. I scream. And it is this screaming that I find so cultural.

‘It’s hard for me to get through it and not scream. The rushing and the shouting, that’s what I find most difficult,’ the actress admitted.

Eva admitted that she tries her best to avoid raising her voice at her children.

When she’s failing to keep her cool, the mother of two revealed that she often thinks about the things she could do better and what kind of mother she is.

‘I don’t like myself. I act like a baby,” she said, recalling times when she would yell at her children.

The star and partner of 13 years Ryan fell in love while working on the 2012 film, The Place Beyond The Pines.

Eva has since focused on other business ventures after the couple became parents, and it appears she has no plans to appear on film sets again anytime soon.
