Adam Sandler is 60 years old, has two daughters, and a theory that sums up parenthood better than any parenting book.
“Now that I’m a father, I understand why my father was in a bad mood”, the actor once blurted out, and the phrase became a kind of mantra for anyone who has ever sworn they would never yell at their children for leaving their shoes in the middle of the hallway.
Sandler is the father of Sadie, born in 2006, and Sunny, born in 2008, with his wife Jackie, whom he married in Malibu in 2003. His father was an electrician, he ended up being one of Hollywood’s richest stars, and even so, the exhaustion of raising children caught up with him just the same.
On September 9, when he turned 60, that phrase continues to circulate among parents who recognize themselves in it without fail: one raises children differently, but the bad mood at 7 p.m. spares no one. 😅
