Why Rumer Willis Is Parenting Differently Than Mom Demi Moore
Bruce Willis Holds Rumer Willis’ Daughter Lou in Sweet Photo for the Toddler’s First Birthday
Rumer Willis has been endlessly inspired by mom Demi Moore, but she isn’t simply following in her mother’s footsteps when it comes to parenting her own daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis.
“We’re in such a different time, there’s just so much more information,” Rumer told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at the premiere of her film My Divorce Party during the 24th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival. “My mom will be like, ‘You should do this with her,’ and I’ll say, ‘Actually, based on what I’ve been reading, you don’t do that anymore.'”
Which in no way means Rumer, who shares 12-month-old Lou with partner Derek Richard Thomas, thinks she has all the answers. Rather, the eldest of Demi and ex-husband Bruce Willis‘ three daughters is fascinated by the fact that she’s not just mirroring her own mom when it comes to the choices she’s making.
“When you’re in that transition from maiden to motherhood, and you have a really tight relationship with your mom, there’s an interesting separation that occurs as you are discovering your own path as a mother,” Rumer explained. “There are things I take from her that I love, but there’s also stuff I want to discover myself.”
Whether that’s the best course of action or not, she added with a laugh, “Inevitably we screw up our children in opposite ways, right?”
