Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are drawing inspiration from one of television’s most beloved families when it comes to parenting.
The couple — who share daughter Wyatt Isabelle, 5, and son Dimitri Portwood, 3 — opened up about their family life during their appearance on Brit + Co founder and CEO Brit Morin‘s new iHeartRadio podcast Teach Me Something New, sharing that they’ve taken to injecting a “learning moment” into tales they tell their children just like the storylines in Full House.
Kunis, 36, began by explaining how Wyatt always wants to hear stories based her parents’ lives — something Kutcher, 42, is “really good at,” she said.
“[Wyatt] now knows everything about us. I mean, literally, she’s like, ‘Tell me a story from your life?’ and you’re like, ‘All right, let me think about a story,’” the Bad Moms star said. “But then after a while, you run out of stories. So [Ashton] has to go and start creating stories from real life. Because you literally run out of stories.”
Kunis said that’s when they started using these stories to teach their daughter valuable life lessons.
“We’re like Full House, okay?” she admitted. “We always have to have like a learning curve in there.”
“Are you calling me Bob Saget?” Kutcher jokingly interjected, referencing to the actor who played the family patriarch on the ABC sitcom.
To which the actress replied that he’s more like John Stamos‘ character, “Maybe like Jesse.”
The parents then went on to share how they recently used a story to teach Wyatt good sportsmanship after the young girl lost a soccer game, with Kutcher sharing “a story about how when I played basketball against the neighbors and lost.”
“If there’s a learning lesson of the day, like if one of the kids didn’t do something … it gets interjected in the story of your life,” Kunis said. “There’s always a learning lesson to this.”
In the same interview, Kunis shared that she and Kutcher are “silly at home,” joking that they are “very goofy parents when it comes to our children, but that don’t have skill.”
“I think that’s just being idiots,” the mom of two quipped.

“I think we’re very comfortable with ourselves acting a fool at home, but maybe that comes from the idea of being comfortable in your own body, and in your own skin, and in your mind and not having a fear of making a fool of yourself.”
