Hawn and Hudson were part of the Cover of PEOPLE magazine along side Hudson's 3-year-old daughter Rani Rose. They were interviewed about their experience as parents and they were asked about their motherhood journeies. “I’m more lenient, like way more lenient,” says Hawn, 74, while Hudson chimes in, “I’m so strict.” “She’s Attila the Hun,” jokes Hawn, laughing. “You were strict when you needed to be. You were honest,” says Hudson, 41, who’s mom to Rani plus sons Bingham “Bing” Hawn, 8½, and Ryder Russell, 16.

Hawn said that she got really mad when her kids would be rude to each other. She didn't like unkindness and she would yell at the kids if they were not acting nicely. However, she wouldn't get mad and yell at them if they made mistakes. She also agrees with her daughter that Hudson is the “more structured” parent and jokingly compared Hudson’s parenting style to her approach to shoes: “You draw your roadmaps very firmly.”

Hudson shares that the when she gave birth to her daughter she told her mother that she felt so sad. She asked her mother why she was feeling so sad. Hawn said that it was because the child doesn't belong to them anymore. They are their own people now. “It’s learning to let go. I think a lot of mothers, particularly with their girls, feel helpless when you don’t think you’re needed anymore. … It’s just a phase,” Hawn adds. “There’s an individuation and then there’s a period of time when we come back together again.”

Every parent is so different and that is okay. We have to remember that everybody is doing what they think is best for their children. We have to make sure we are supporting each other and encouraging one-another because everybody's journey is different but difficult.
