What a great attitude!
Jennifer Garner was recently asked if she had found the holy grail secret on how to be the perfect mother… and the world got an answer!
But although the actress does NOT believe she is the perfect parent, she did have a bit of a philosophical take on the whole mommy thing!

And we’re loving her logic when it comes to her kids!
Here’s what she said:
“But the absolute [greatest] thing about being a parent is that every day is a fresh start. You always can say, ‘Today we’re going to try this!’ And if it goes horribly, you can say, ‘Today we’re throwing that out, and we’re trying this!’ That’s part of what I like about being a mom in general.”
And while she’s obviously not looking forward to those horrible days, she does have to admit that sometimes kids need to know those kind of days are OK! And it’s also OK to get super mad on those days!
Here’s what she said:
“Our kids need to be allowed to have a bad day. And you need to show them that it’s okay to have the whole range of emotions. You should have it all: rage and anger and sadness, so there is a lot of room for joy and happiness as well.”
Aww!
She may not think so, but we’re kind of believing she HAS cracked the code on how to be the best parent ever!
Hopefully she won’t be stopping dishing out advice as we’re lovin’ her words of wisdom, and maybe she can let us know how she raises three children, make movies, while still looking SO good, as well!
Because we’re super curious how she’s able to look the way she always does — flawless!
