The Day Jennifer Garner’s Kid Threw a Tantrum at Disneyland
Let me tell you a story about one of those unforgettable parenting moments. Jennifer Garner, the beloved actress and mom of three, recently shared a hilarious tale about one of her kids throwing a tantrum at Disneyland. Can you guess why? It wasn’t because they wanted a toy or more ice cream. No, this little one refused to wash their hands in the bathroom. Imagine that—Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth, and a hand-washing standoff becomes the highlight of the day. Jen, now 48, recounted the experience with a laugh during an episode of the "Raising Good Humans With Dr. Aliza" podcast by Dear Media. She said she could feel eyes on her, recognizing her, and watching as she tried to handle the situation. "I got so embarrassed in front of them. I snatched this one up. And stuffed her hands under the sink. And I was so hardcore about it," she joked, adding, "Sorry, hunny."
A Picture-Perfect Moment
Now, let’s pause and reflect on that moment. Jennifer Garner is not just a famous actress, she’s also a mom who’s dealing with the same challenges we all face. She admits that moments like these can make her feel like she’s failing as a parent. "I will say that my worst parenting moments, the ones that go back that haunt me are moments where I felt embarrassed," she explained. "Where I felt judged as a mom and I felt by my kids' behavior and I was a horrible mom in those moments." But here’s the thing: we’ve all been there. Whether it’s at Disneyland, the grocery store, or even in our own homes, parenting can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Quarantine Days with the Kids
Despite these tough moments, Jennifer has found joy in spending more time with her children during quarantine. She shares Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8, with ex-husband Ben Affleck. "I think I have the perfect age kids for this," she joked in an earlier interview with Jimmy Fallon. "Because they’re big enough to understand and to have the conversations. 'Like, we’re built for challenge, we can do this, we’re a tough team. Let’s learn about a vacuum cleaner.' But they’re not so big that they’re just like, 'Well, I don’t care. I’m going to go.'" It’s amazing how she’s managed to turn a difficult situation into a learning opportunity for her family.

Jen and her daughter Violet even spend quality time together making dinner, which gives them a chance to catch up and bond. "Violet takes after her mom and is a great cook," the source explained. Even though Jennifer occasionally feels like she’s failing as a mom, she remains committed to being there for her kids through
