Actress Eva Mendes has admitted her parenting style is ‘not fair’ to her children as she opened up about the difficulties of raising her kids alongside husband Ryan Gosling.

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

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

Eva was raised by Cuban parents Eva Pérez Suárez and Juan Carlos Méndez.

 

Eva admitted that she had a ‘very difficult childhood full of trauma,’ before noting that ‘a lot of shame came up for me because I was like, “I have it so good. My mom, she fought to get here. I was the only one born in the States. How dare I even complain?”‘

 

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

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

 

Eva has since focused on other business ventures after the pair became parents and it appears she has no plans to return get back on movie sets any time soon.

 

Earlier this year, the Ghost Rider star revealed that she and Ryan have somewhat of a ‘non-verbal agreement’ when it came to her giving up acting and being a ‘full-time mom’ to their two young daughters.

 

The Canadian actor has continued to make movies since welcoming his children, while Eva has taken a backseat.
