Kristen Bellis doubling down on a parenting decision that some do not agree with.
TheGood Placeactress, 43, laughed with husbandDax Shepard, 48, on hisArmchair Expertpodcast as they recently talked about parenting decisions they’ve shared over the years that have rubbed others the wrong way.
One that the couple pointed to was their decision to let daughters Delta, 8, and Lincoln, 9,drink non-alcoholic beers, which sherevealed during an appearance onThe Kelly Clarkson Showlast month.
“People are very upset about that,” Shepard remarked.
“They’re allowed to be upset about that because they’re not their kids. It’s not your kid, you can think whatever you want,” theFrozenstar leveled.

“When they have tried to order NAs at a restaurant or something, it’s because of a very specific connection to you. Because first of all, they’re educated on addiction and what substances are and how they affect your body and how scary they are and what they can do to you.”

Going on to say how it’s “nostalgic” to being on walks with Shepard as babies, she continued, “I thought that was kind of a cute story but again, it turned into, ‘I let my kids drink.'”
She added, “None of this seems to connect seeing as though you’re so open about sobriety and addiction and we’re a family that strives to educate everyone about substances.”
Shepard explained that hearing others attack Bell’s parenting makes him, “want to have a confrontation or a debate. I’m always going to feel protective.”
“If anyone has a problem that I let my kids drink NA beer sometimes, that’s fine with me. I’m not going to change based on what anybody else says because this is our family and not your business.”
