Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones came up with a special idea so that their now grown children still enjoy spending time with them.
At some point there comes a time for many parents when their own children no longer feel like spending time with them. You want to be independent of your parents’ home and gain your own experiences. A completely normal maturing process that can sometimes be painful. But of course it doesn’t always have to be that way.
Michael Douglas + Catherine Zeta-Jones “seduce” their children with…
Michael Douglas, 79, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, 54, have two children together: daughter Carys Zeta Douglas, 20, and son Dylan Michael Douglas, 23. So that the two still enjoy spending time with their old man and their mom the screen stars an ultimate tip. On the American “Today” show, the actor revealed that he and Catherine would “seduce” their children. By which? With extravagant vacations. “Catherine and I are blessed with the fact that our children Dylan and Carys still enjoy traveling with us,” said the Hollywood icon. “And so we just spent five weeks in India at Christmas time. And we’re constantly planning what our trips are going to be next year and where we’re going to go.”
Douglas – who also has son Cameron Douglas, 45, with ex-wife Diandra Luker, 68 – said it was a “pleasure” to have his adult children around. “Especially if you don’t force them. [Ich] said, ‘Catherine, look, they actually want to hang out with us,” he said, taken aback, but then half-jokingly added, “But we have good travels. We seduce them with good travel destinations.”
Of course, for this parenting tip you need one thing above all: a full wallet. Something that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones definitely have. According to the “Handelsblatt” they have an estimated total assets of 225 million euros. With this money you will certainly be able to go on many more great trips with your children. Enviable!
