If Bethenny Frankel continues to raise her kids like puppies, I wouldn’t be surprised if she has them on leashes all their lives. The reality star recently told People magazine:

“Kids are like dogs. They have to know where the wee-wee pads is. ‘This is where you pee and his is where you don’t pee.’” She also joked that she was a strict mom: “I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m liberal and I like to spoil, but I lay down the hammer when it’s time.”

She continued: “My daughter’s extremely strong-willed and sassy and funny, and likes to beat a joke into the ground, which makes me realize that’s my kid.”

She also insists that she doesn’t need a nanny. “When I am with my daughter, I’m 100 percent with her. So when I work, I work. And when I’m with my child, I’m with my child. I spend a lot of intense time alone with my kid.”
