Jodie Sweetin has apologized to Stephanie Tanner fans who have witnessed her discipline her own kids as a mom. The Full House star recently appeared on the Allison Interviews podcast where she spoke to host Allison Kugel about the skills her daughters have learned throughout the years.
Sweetin is mom to two daughters—Beatrix, 11, with ex-husband Morty Coyle, and Zoie, 13, with ex-husband Cody Herpin. “My girls have good boundaries; they stand up for themselves and speak their minds,” Sweetin says.

“Particularly my older one, she has always been that kid that would say, ‘I don’t like that.’ Not necessarily in a bratty way, but like, ‘Nope, I’m not doing this.’ ”

She continues, “I didn’t get those skills until I was in my 30s. I’m just so proud of how they stand up for themselves and say, ‘This is who I am, and this is what I like.’ My daughters have very firm boundaries, and they are so wonderfully expressive in who they are. I give them the freedom to be that.”
Sweetin adds that there are still times where she needs to put her foot down with her daughters and do a little disciplining. “Look, there are plenty of times I’ve had to yell at my kids in the grocery store,” she admits. “I know someone is recognizing me or is watching me, and I’m thinking, ‘Look, my kids are being bad and Stephanie Tanner had to yell at her kids in the grocery store. I’m sorry.'”
