Denise Richards Says She Learned Everything She Needs To Know About Raising Girls From Her Dad

Actress and reality star may not have too much to worry about with her two little girls yet, but she says that she learned some tricks from her dad about raising girls.

Denise’s dad, Irv Richards has taught her the ropes when it comes to raising her two daughters, Sam, 5, and Lola, 4. She told MomLogic, “When we were teenagers, he used to tap our phones. He worked for the phone company, so he had all the equipment.”

Though Denise says that she probably will not go that far with her girls, she has learned a lot from her dad. She also said that being a parent today is getting harder. She said, “As a parent now, it’s harder to keep tabs on our children, but I will be vigilant.”

With two girls, she knows that sooner or later she is going to have to worry about boys coming around, but for now her daughters, “pretty much think boys are yucky.”

Denise also went on to talk about how everyone seems to be so judgemental of other people and the way that they raise their children. The actress said, “Everyone is so judgmental when it comes to raising kids: if you breastfeed or not, feed them only organic foods.”

Richards has come under some scrutiny for having her two daughters appear on her reality show, Denise Richards: It’s Complicated. She had this to say about it, “The bottom line is, I’m not exploiting my children. ” She added to that Sam and Lola are only on screen “for about a minute here and there” and that “the show isn’t about them.”

She went on to say, “I get to incorporate them into the show — which means I can take them to school as part of my job. How many single working moms can say that?”

Sam and Lola’s father is Denise’s ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
