Kate Winslet Defends Her Parenting

Kate Winslet has hit out at those who claim she is a bad parent.

The actress, who is currently expecting her third child, slammed the reports in an interview with Vogue magazine.

The actress strongly defended her family, and said people assume she is a bad parent because she has two children from two different fathers. Her third child is also from a different father – new husband Ned Rocknroll – but she argued that she is a hands-on parent and does not leave her children to nannies.

She told the publication: "People go, 'Oh, my God! Those poor children! They must have gone through so much.' Says who? They've always been with me. They don't go from pillar to post; they're not flown here and there with nannies. That's never happened.

"My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads - my children live with me; that is it. That is it!"

Winslet, 38, has a nine-year-old son Joe with ex-husband Sam Mendes, and a daughter, 13-year-old Mia, with first husband Jim Threapleton and said her children have good relationships with their respective dads.

The actress first met Rocknroll in August 2011, during a holiday to Necker Island, the private resort island of Sir Richard Branson. The couple started dating shortly afterwards and in the summer of 2012, revealed their engagement. They married in a private ceremony in December 2012, and in June this year, they revealed they are expecting their first child together.
