Back in June, Morissette spoke with Self about motherhood, and shared some of the things she loves most about her family.
Regarding her relationship with her oldest, she gushed about how spending time with him is one of her greatest joys. “The other day he said, ‘Mom, can we go for a three-hour walk?’ ” she said. “So we were two hours in and he asked how long we had been walking and talking. And when I said it had been two hours, he said, ‘Okay, so we have another hour.’ I can’t even believe it. It’s my dream.”
When it comes to parenting children collectively, Morissette explained that her approach includes a lot of empathy. “It’s a lot of ‘oh sweetheart, yes your heart is broken for that person and that person’s going to be okay,’ ” she stated. “And I’m so grateful for those moments because I get to notice and I get to support my children in a way that sometimes I wasn’t, just because I was in a different generation. Those weren’t conversations being had 44 years ago.”
She also praised Treadway for being such a great partner, saying, “He’s an incredibly modern man, so he has never had an issue with being married to an alpha woman, God bless him. His mom held down two full-time jobs, his dad stayed home. So there’s nothing unfamiliar about [our situation for him].”
