Perhaps because the first year and change have been so hectic,The Hillsalum revealed she’s still “figuring it out” in terms of her exact parenting style. “I try to be strict on some things, but my little boy is so cute I’m a little bit of a pushover sometimes, too,” she admitted. “I’m trying to find a balance between both.
