Megan Fox follows this mantra on raising sons
What's the story
A mother of three boys, Megan Fox has opened up on how she wants to raise her kids and the values she wants to instill in them.
She doesn't want her children to grow up and become like the men she has been with in the past.
Rather, she wants them to become men who have "deep emotional intimacy with their partner."
Context
Why does this story matter?
Fox has recently published a book of poems, titled Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, in which her writings reflect upon her recent miscarriage and past abusive relationships.
The book has many things but also lessons on what she doesn't want her children to become in the future as human beings.
She has poured out her deep feelings and thoughts in the poetry book.
Details
They should be 'fully transparent and honest and respectful'
Talking to WWD, Fox listed out some of the key things she doesn't want her boys to imbibe from her former partners. While developing emotional intimacy is a must, lying is a no-no.
"It's very important to me that they are not liars, that they are able to be fully transparent and honest and respectful and experienced at some point in their life."
On her upbringing
How she raises her kids will influence their dating life
The 37-year-old actor went on to stress how the upbringing she provides to her children, will impact the women they'll date in the future.
"I am their first introduction into women and the way that I love them is going to influence the way they are allowed to love others when they go out into a relationship," she added.
