MELANIE BROWN: “MY KIDS ARE LOVED-BUT NOT SPOILED”
Singer Melanie Brown is keen on raising her kids to become responsible adults. The singer who has two children, Phoenix, 10, (dad is dancer Jimmy Gulzar) and Angel,2 , (dad is actor Eddie Murphy), says that she limits the amount of money she gives her kids.
She tells Closer magazine, “My kids are loved - but not spoiled. They won’t end up being Hollywood children, down the shops using mum’s credit card. I’ve just got Phoenix her first pay-as-you-go (cell) phone, so if she does her chores and is good, she gets pocket money, so she can afford to top it up.”
It’s not only Phoenix who has “chores to do”. Little Angel Iris “tidies up after herself.” Mel says she gives her children chores because she wants them to learn responsibility early.
But Brown admits that one day, her older daughter may rebel. She says, “I’m sure I’m going to get some kind of payback when Phoenix turns into a teenager. If she’s anything like I was, then I’ll be in for quite a ride - I was a big handful.”
Way to go Mel, and I so glad to know Eddie Murphy stteped up to the plate and handled his business. I heard he agreed to see Angel, I will believe it when I see it.
Good job.
I am impressed by the statement “My kids are loved - but not spoiled.” That is what a good parent should.
Mel is a great mother. Her daughters are growing up well.
Sounds goof. We’ll see if it works.
I do wish she’d raise then in UK so they’d have a lovely accent as she does.
Lovely accent.. lol, The Leeds accent is not lovely, funny yes but not lovely. :p
Anyhoo, that’s good to hear, just what my mum used to do when i got my first phone.
CUTE GIRLS
I love her accent! I have one and people love it.
