Hines shares Catherine with her ex-husband, producer Paul Young.
You [used to be able to say]: ‘Oh, I’m on my way home.
I’m going to stop at my friend’s house and say hi.’
You don’t do that anymore, you’re free to’t, and it’s sad."
That said, the adjustment was worth it.
Hines replied, “Of course I remember!
What I remember most is that it was the happiest day of my life.”
You couldn’t talk yet, so when you ate a piece, you started clapping."
“For some reason, she hasn’t loved learning how to read.
“We read a lot of books together.
As such, it’s unsurprising that she emphasized the importance of learning at home.
“She’s not well-behaved at all,” she quipped.
“She’s wild.
I said, ‘It’s only you and me here, and it wasn’t me.’
And she said, ‘I don’t know how that happened.'”
What’s more, comedy always seems to win Hines over when it comes to making low-stakes trouble.
“So when she misbehaves, she says something that she knows will make me laugh.
the actor told People.
But having a child who likes to push boundaries was not the star’s only challenge as a mom.

But I would rather spend that 20 minutes with her,” she said.

Quality time isn’t just about going on special trips or having once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
You just have to carve out time.”
Growing up, Young had a strong bond with Sarita, but this is not something Hines envies.
Rather, she is grateful.
“She taught Cat so much.”
Hines became stepmom toRFK Jr.’s six children, and Young also became part of the blended family.
Catherine’s new siblings include her stepbrother Bobby Kennedy III.

“My daughter is a huge fan of politics, and she’s 12!
So we talk about it all.
We talk about the inequality of pay for men and women, and she gets very passionate about that.
- In the same interview, the “R.V.
Runaway Vacation” actor shared that political conversations were commonplace in their home.
As messy as they can get, she values having these conversations with family members.
“I think one good one, and I’m out.
“I like having one that I can give everything to,” she said.
The proud mama has also shared her love for Young on social media.
“You bring me unimaginable joy.
Your smile lights up the world and your laughter fills my soul.
Happy Birthday my beautiful, smart, wise, caring Catherine Rose.”
