Ryan Reynolds is a dad to three   with one on the way!  so he knows a thing or two about just trying to survive this wild journey called parenting. He and wife Blake Lively share daughters James 7 Inez 5 and Betty who turns 3 on October 4 so its no doubt things can get pretty chaotic at home. He recently joked about a little trick hed like to use with his kids thats generally frowned upon and weve never felt more seen.

I know that its generally frowned upon but if I could I would just duct tape an iPad to their faces The Adam Project star said on an appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan last week. Because really I get the allure of that. We try to limit the screen time to just very small chunks but… If only right? Its like the little kid version of wishing you could duct tape a pacifier to their mouths as babies (its a fun dream but we would never act on it obviously).

The hosts were talking about back to school season and host Kelly Ripa who is mom to Michael 25 Lola 21 Joaquin 19 with husband Mark Consuelos said I remember my kids getting really excited about like getting the stuff. Like Ive gotta get my pencil case.

Reynolds responded Um yeah. But thats just like good old fashioned bribery right? Like thats what that is. Its like oh were going to go back to school. Im going to ply you with some capitalism and were going to go buy all this sh*t that you dont need and well never look at again and thats going to make the transition to school easier.
