'The Flipping El Moussas' Star Couple Opens Up About Their Parenting Styles
Since the arrival of their son Tristan on January 31, proud parents Heather Rae and Tarek have shared updates on the enchanting journey of raising their newborn. The Blast also reported openly discussing their parenting approach as the 4-month-old joins his older half-siblings.
Although Taylor and Brayden had already developed a bond with Tristan before his birth, the couple consciously tried to reinforce the notion that love is equally distributed among all the children in their household.
The pair also candidly shared that they had to balance their parenting styles, with Tarek revealing, "Heather is stricter than me, for sure. I play games and wrestle with the kids. When she says, 'OK, it's bedtime,' I'm like, 'OK, five more minutes!' But then, I will enforce her rules."
The 35-year-old concurred, noting that contrary to assumptions, she is the one who was "definitely a little more rigid as far as schedules and keeping everything on track." The "Selling Sunset" star humbly acknowledged that it was somewhat her responsibility before stating that they "parent very well together."
