"I have one ask, and it is that when my kids were really little, on some Mother's Day, they all sat on my lap one after the other all at once for a picture," Garner said. "And I want that picture every year, even though it's ridiculous at this point. They're so big. But I make them take it and they are just like, 'Mom.' But that's my ask."
While her kids haven't yet watched her popular TV series "Felicity," Garner is confident they would enjoy it. "They would love it," she said. "They would love it."
Garner finds immense joy in watching her children grow and discover themselves. "They're really solid right now," she said about her kids. "I'm just watching them in this new phase of life where they're figuring out who they're going to be and what they're going to study. And I'm so interested in them. All the time, I'm interested in everything about them."
Letting go and allowing her children to make their own decisions is a challenge Garner acknowledges. "I mean, my parents did too, and I'm so amazed by that. I have a really hard time not saying, 'This is what I see you as,' and 'I think you should,' " she said. "I really have to sit on my hands.
