Parenting can be both hilarious and heartwarming, and Kristen Bell knows this all too well. The star recently shared a delightful and slightly chaotic snapshot of her daughters Delta and Lincoln's breakfast creation. Imagine waking up to a spread of cereal, a Rice Krispies treat, and french fries with ketchup. That’s exactly what greeted Kristen one fine morning.
“I decided to empower my kids by asking them to make their own breakfast,” Kristen, now 39, humorously captioned her Instagram post on June 20. “But when I woke up and saw what they had conjured up, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was doing something wrong!” Kristen’s playful tone and candid admission make it clear she’s navigating parenthood with humor and grace.

Fans Love Kristen's Honest Take on Parenting
Kristen’s followers couldn’t resist chiming in after seeing the snapshot. “This is absolutely gold! It’s so adorable to see how their little minds work,” one fan commented. Another added, “Haha, this is brilliant! Sure, it might not be the healthiest breakfast ever, but it shows they’ve been given enough guidance to create something fun and unique. Great job, momma!” Kristen’s ability to laugh at herself and share these moments makes her relatable to so many parents out there.
Kids' Creativity Knows No Bounds
Kristen shares her two daughters with her husband Dax Shepard, and their adventures never cease to entertain. The Veronica Mars star has a knack for sharing the quirky and humorous antics of her children. One memorable moment involved a drawing Lincoln crafted for her school assignment titled, “How My Mommy Reacts To Me.”
In the artwork, Lincoln outlined her perceptions of Kristen’s parenting style with phrases like “bad reactions,” “no patience,” “doesn’t believe in me,” and “stern voice.” While Kristen was initially taken aback by her daughter’s candid assessment, she embraced it with good humor. On April 27, she shared the drawing on Instagram with the caption, “Touché, my young lass. Touché.” Kristen’s willingness to share these moments highlights her authenticity and the humor she brings to parenting.

Why Kristen Threw in the Towel on Homeschooling
It’s moments like these that have led Kristen to embrace the challenges of parenting and homeschooling with both humor and realism. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Kristen admitted to throwing in the towel on homeschooling. “To be completely honest, I gave up,” she confessed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May. Kristen recounted a particularly trying math session with Delta. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Delta became sassier with each question. “What’s four plus four? ‘No.’ What’s 10 minus one? ‘No.’ Three minus two? ‘No,’” Kristen hilariously recounted. Despite these hurdles, Kristen’s kids still hold her in high regard as a “great home teacher.”
As Kristen continues to navigate the ups and downs of parenting, one thing remains clear: she’s determined to teach her kids the importance of a balanced breakfast. But until then, cereal, Rice Krispies treats, and fries with ketchup will have to do!
