Celebrities are often scrutinized for various parts of their life, with a main one being their parenting styles. Strict celebrity moms are both praised and the center of controversy. Why do they fall on such opposite ends of a spectrum?

1. Joanna Gaines

Joanna Gaines and her husband Chip have five children—13-year-old Drake, 11-year-old Ella, 9-year-old Duke, 8-year-old Emmie Kay, and newborn Crew. Chip and Joanna are successful, funny and relatable.

Chip revealed that he and Joanna have decided their kids won’t get their own cell phones until they go off to college.
