Recounting how she struggled with her daughter, Helen told the camera, “We’ve come on vacation and the change in Matilda is just crazy that she’s so grown up now.
“We’ve had to make friends a few times, had a few arguments — just looking at her in the corner, she’d come and talk me out of it. Apparently I’m embarrassed, I’ve been told to leave a few times.
“I always call my kids baby — like come on baby and I’ve been told not to call them baby anymore and not to call her princess, I always call her princess.”
Speaking of her daughter’s question about the revealing fashion item, she said, “She makes fun of me for wearing crop tops. I’m like ‘you’re not wearing a crop top!’
“…they talk to me all the time about wearing a tank top!”
She went on to talk about how grown up her daughter is, with the youngster also pestering her for the whole “holiday” to have a TikTok account, while also being “obsessed” with her “phone.”
She said, “And she’s obsessed with her ‘phone.’ She’s never had a phone. I don’t give my seven-year-old a phone. It’s an iPod so she can FaceTime Scott’s mom.”
The Rosie Webster actress went on to say her other daughter Delilah has been “really good” apart from a “few fights” after leaving her “tantrum stage”, while son Charlie has been “beautiful” and full of “real little boy’. – pure boy energy.’

She took to her Instagram Stories and explained that a female friend had accompanied her on the trip to help with the kids.
She said, “I can’t tell you how horrible Charlie’s tantrums have been.”
“I mean, I have two kids and I know how babies can be and the tantrums and stuff, but if I say so, he screamed out of the restaurant yesterday.
“He screamed and screamed. There was no comfort to him at all, he literally yelled the whole restaurant down.
‘It was a very, very, very busy restaurant – I felt there was a table, I just felt it.
“This is my third child – I don’t think they were so nice to be honest about my parenting, even though I really tried my best to comfort Charlie.”
