Cate Blanchett has said that she tends to be a strict parent towards her children, as she feels it's important to define a boundary between being a mother and being their friend.
The Australian star has three children, and doesn't care if they like her as a person or not.
Kate told The Daily Mirror: "I don't enjoy being the bad cop but sometimes I have to be.
"My husband and I worry about our generation trying to be friends with their children rather than parents of their children. If you're going to try and make your children like you, you're in dangerous waters I think."
Despite the strict approach, the Hanna star understands the need to listen to them, and hope that they'll be able to talk to her as they get older.
She explained: "I think I'm pretty loving, but what I do know is that you have to let them talk and you have to listen. I hope that when they're 15, they're still talking as freely to us as now."
Hanna is released today (6th May).
