The Last Thing He Told Meactress, 53, joinedKylie Kelce'sNot Gonna Liepodcaston Thursday, Feb. 26, where she talked about everything from her popular romantic comedy13 Going on 30to being a mother to her three children —Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 17, and Violet, 20. During the conversation, Garner told the podcaster and mom of four, 33, that she loves working with kids on different projects because they help her grow as a parent.
"I love the intimacy of that relationship, whether they're a toddler and I get to become best buddies with a toddler, or whether it's a little kid, a teenager or a young adult. I just I I love them," she shared. "And they help give me perspective on myself as a parent."
"I'm practicing that relationship, even practicing the friction of it, and [finding] ways that I can take that home and do a better job," added Garner.
TheAliasstar explained that one of the things she's learned over the years is how and when to keep her mouth shut.
"Because, really, your kids get to a point, and I hate to say this to you because you're so far from this, and it's really rude, but they get to a point where you're not supposed to tell them everything. You're supposed to stay quiet," she told Kelce. "I don't know when that happens, but all of a sudden, it's not on you, and you're actually — you're in trouble."
Elsewhere in the podcast, Garner, who shares her three children with ex-husbandBen Affleck, opened up about her decision not to get Botox despite having previously tried it. While she currently has no interest in getting any treatments, she noted that she refuses to promise her kids she won't do anything in the future.

"My kids are like, 'Mom, promise us you'll never get a facelift.' And I say, 'I am unlikely to rush toward a facelift,' " the actress explained. "And yet I refuse to make that promise because I am me today, and I don't know how I'm gonna feel."

During an appearance onThe Jennifer Hudson Showwith herThe Last Thing He Told Mecostars on Thursday, Feb. 19, Garner admitted that her kids are easily embarrassed by her. The actresses' comments came as she and hostJennifer Hudson, who's a mom to 16-year-old sonDavid Daniel Otunga Jr., discussed trying to get "cool points" from their kids.
"You're providing my cool points today!" Garner told Hudson, 44, before going on to share that her three children think she's "fully cringe."
"I am only embarrassing," Garner continued. "I asked my kids if they were going to watch this season of the show [season 2], and they were like, 'Do you need us to?' But I mean, kids don't want to see their parents in … right? They don't want to see us cry, or see us have a romantic scene, anything. We're just embarrassing."
"We don't get no cool points for that," added Hudson.
