How Jamie Lee Curtis Keeps Kids in Line at Her House

Posted by Karen Murphy

jamie lee curtis'Cuz Jamie Lee is One Mean Mominator, and for that I adore her!  Here's her secret: after the kids are dropped off at her house for a playdate with son Thomas (11), and after the parents leave, she explains her terms [paraphrased]. 

1. You can do anything you want here. Anything. And I mean that.

2. If you get hurt, I fix it. Me. No hospital, no emergency room. Me. You need stitches? Great! There's the needle and thread (and a handy block of wood for biting down on to keep from screaming) right over there.

3. Have fun, kids! 

Apparently the hyperactive little cusses calm right down and are no trouble at all. What are your secrets for keeping order in your house during playdates?

you go Jamie... said:

Tracy... that is an unbelievable thing to say about someone who has raised any children... biological or otherwise. How insensitive and misguided.

She sounds firm and with boundries -- the thing every child needs and craves. I'm still shaking my head at your response.

It's obvious that Jamie's being facetious with her comment .... Where is everyone's sense of humor?
