Arnold Schwarzenegger shared an amusing insight into his married life
Whitehall is filming a documentary series for Netflix which are based on fatherhood and parenting. Austrian Oak asked a simple yet interesting question to Whitehall, “What is the main thing you’ve learned since you have a child now?” Whitehall didn’t simply answer. In response, he asked Arnie to give some advice on parenting, and his answer made everyone laugh very hard.
Schwarzenegger did give him advice and in the process, mocked his ex-wife a little. “I think that the important thing what my wife and I we kind of split up the responsibilities yeah uh she was in charge of education and of uh making them really good human beings yeah and uh,” this expression made the audience laugh again. In addition, he explains he was in charge of the discipline he taught his children how to do their own chores.
, “I was in charge of the discipline and uh so I made the kids to you know I taught them how to turn off the lights when they leave the room uh not to waste water because you know we have droughts in California um how to wash their own clothes by the time they were like five-six years old they had to wash their own clothes and their bed sheets and make their own bed and so I taught them how to do that uh my wife did not know how to do that.”Schwarzenegger forging discipline and life lessons
The former governor also shared that during his formative years, while grinding to make his career in bodybuilding, he lived independently. During this time, he learned valuable lessons. Additionally, his military service played a pivotal role in his overall growth. He realized discipline is the groundwork for achieving greatness in life. Notably, Schwarzenegger’s father’s own military service further reinforced the importance of discipline in their family.
Nevertheless, the legend effectively instilled discipline in his children. However, he openly discussed his failed marriage several times and even addressed it in his recently published book ‘Be Useful: Seven Tools For Life,’ where he candidly accepted that his own mistakes caused their separation. As he mentioned in the video, with his bad experience, he often advises others to ‘Don’t scr*w up.‘
