Kristen doesn’t let rough days get her down.
Bell told Babble: “If my child is acting a fool in the grocery store, the embarrassment is on her. In truth, that shouldn’t make me feel a certain way.

Dax Shepard has a sense of humor about his Costco runs.
They know how to keep their cool—by tag-team parenting!
