There are two types of parents: those that have a lot of house rules and those that are more casual and chill. We all know the kind of house that we were raised in and maybe, before we became moms and dads ourselves, we figured that we would do things exactly the way our parents did; or maybe the total opposite in some cases (quiet, loud, dietary restrictions, etc...)

The funny thing about starting our own parenting journeys is that we often surprise ourselves. We realize that we're bringing up our kids in a way that we didn't expect to. We could have sworn to never have rules surrounding junk food, but then realized that the best thing for our children is to feed them healthy food and not have it be all about potato chips and candy. We just never know what kind of parent we're gonna be until we're thrown into it. And while celebrities seem so out of touch at times, they're also in the same boat as us normal folk before kids are in the picture.

It's always fascinating to learn about celebrities and their parenting philosophies since their life seems so magnified. So here are 21 celebs who are surprisingly strict with their kids, along with five who are super carefree.

26 Strict: Sleeping Beauties

We all love getting our sleep (even though weekends are no longer meant for sleeping, they're meant for running around with the kids). We also love when our children sleep. Having them follow a good sleep schedule and routine seems to be the best thing for them.

We might not really care what kind of pillowcases our children's adorable little heads rest on when they get their slumber, but there is one celebrity who does. According to Brightside, Kourtney Kardashian believes strongly in using silk pillowcases, not cotton.

While being a mother who is picky over pillowcases doesn't seem that strict, it's definitely a weird thing to focus on in a household.

25 Strict: Home Is Where The Heart (And TV Rules) Are

Who loves HGTV's Fixer Upper? (Or maybe the question should be, who doesn't love Fixer Upper?!) The home renovation and design show starring adorable couple Chip and Joanna Gaines has tons of fans and is almost too much fun to watch. However, as carefree as these two goofballs are, it turns out that Chip Gaines is strict about one thing: how much time his children spend watching television and playing video games.

As any parent knows, kids love screens in general and they definitely love watching TV, so sometimes having a rule in place is the smartest way to go. Otherwise, they want to watch it all day long (which we can all understand).

24 Strict: This 'Full House' Star

According to Fame 10, Candace Cameron Bure follows a certain parenting method that uses corporal punishment. That is probably news for fans of the Full House star who grew up watching that sitcom and still think of her as DJ Tanner.

Many people were surprised to learn about how strict she is as a mom and that she follows this method; the main reason being that she's religious and, therefore, she and her husband raise their children in that way. While some parents who base their parenting skills around religion get some flack, it's still obvious that Candace is a really great mom.

23 Carefree: Artistic Aguilera

Christina Aguilera is definitely a parent who is carefree, and there is one thing that she does to prove it. According to More, Christina Aguilera has art in her house that features naked women, and she wants her son to be comfortable with nudity. That's an interesting thing to hear because some moms might not agree with nudity at such a young age, and might not personally want to do that. But I think it's great to hear from someone who is so confident and so accepting of the human body.

22 Strict: Mind Your Manners

Manners are something that we all want to teach our children. If we currently have toddlers who are learning these important words and phrases, we know it can be a learning curve. We want our kids to be able to say "please" and "thank you" without us prompting them, and we know that can take a little bit of time.

According to Woman's Day, Denzel Washington's kids have been raised to say "Yes ma'am" or "No sir." Talk about manners! It might be a little old school, but I respect this.

21 Strict: Healthy Habits

To let kids eat healthy or have treats: that's a question that moms ask themselves all of the time. There are so many temptations everywhere, from birthday cake and cookies at school to packaged snacks when they go to a friend's house... It's hard to say no!

Julia Roberts wants her children to eat healthy food the majority of the time and people say she is pretty strict about this rule. According to Brightside, she has her kids eat dessert and sugar sometimes, but it's not an every day thing. While some could say that's strict, it's also admirable since it can be hard to get kids to eat healthy food.

20 Strict: This Cute Celeb Couple

How can we not love Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake?! The celebrity couple are talented when it comes to movies, TV, and music, and they're also really cute together. And, let's be real, they are so attractive and stylish. I am a big fan, and now that they are parents to a son, Silas, it all seems perfect.

Look from the outside in, of course, I don't know if I would have expected these two to be strict. But according to Popsugar, Jessica said, "We're strict in different ways. We take turns." Taking turns is always a good idea so that one child doesn't resent one parent in particular.

19 Carefree: Who Needs A Haircut?

Celine Dion is a beloved singer and known for her beautiful voice. We might not know very much about her parenting style or whether she is strict or carefree since she keeps her private life mostly private. It turns out, however, that she's more on the carefree side.

As More reported, Celine Dion had her son decide when he felt that he was ready for a haircut. Isn't that so cool of a mom?! He did end up getting one to get ready for school, but it's just amazing that a mom gave her son a choice.

18 Strict: This Culinary Idol (But With A Sense Of Humor)

According to Parents, Jamie Oliver has a parenting story that could make us think that he's a bit strict. But he totally had a sense of humor about the whole thing.

He shared this story, "Poppy was quite disrespectful and rude to me and she pushed her luck. Five minutes later, she thought I had forgotten and I hadn't. She asked for an apple. I cut it up into several pieces and rubbed it with Scotch Bonnet and it worked a treat. She ran up to mum and said, 'This is peppery.' I was in the corner laughing. [My wife] said to me, 'Don't you ever do that again.'"

17 Strict: TV Is Okay... But Only Like This

We hear a lot about how Gwyneth Paltrow is as a mom and we know that her kids eat healthy. After all, she has written many cookbooks that include healthy food, gluten-free meals, and she's definitely known for loving superfoods. It's only logical that her kids would eat vegetables, too. Whether we're big fans of her, her cookbooks, or her GOOP website, or not, we have to admit that she's pretty impressive.

But we might not know this strict rule Gwyneth holds... According to Ranker, she has her children watch TV but it's only okay in Spanish and French, not English. This way her children can learn new languages in a less stressful atmosphere!

16 Strict: This Type Of Food Is A Big No-No

Should our children eat junk food? If yes, how much and how often? This is a huge struggle for parents because junk food is so accessible. We struggle with this ourselves and wonder when to eat French fries and when we need to reach for kale or spinach instead. So, I know that it's a tough balance when we are teaching our children how to eat healthy.

Actress Jennifer Garner is a surprisingly strict parent, at least when it comes to the food that her children eat. According to People magazine, Jennifer Garner says that she's strict about having no junk food in the house. This is impressive for any parent, not just a celebrity.

15 Carefree: Who Needs Diapers?

Believe it or not, Giselle Bündchen didn't use diapers with her child, according to Fame 10.

This is actually a thing that some parents do. Some moms and dads have their children not wear diapers and when the kids have to use the bathroom, the parents pretty much run to the bathroom and hopefully everything works out.

I can see her point, but when her babies were, well, babies, HOW did she know when they had to go?

Can you imagine doing this with our kids? It's hard to imagine anyone doing this, really, but this is a way of parenting that many follow, including this one celebrity. It's definitely carefree.

14 Strict: Sunday Funday

We all love calling this day of the week "Sunday Funday." Everyone loves a good Sunday; it's a chance for some self-care, to relax on the couch, to eat some junk food, or maybe it's a time to meal prep and cook, so our jam-packed schedules are easier during the week.

According to E! Online, Jennifer Lopez calls this day of the week "Sunday Funday" and this is the day when she has her kids play on the iPad. She's super cautious about how much screen time they have and it seems like she only lets them use technology on Sundays. I, for one, kind of like this idea!

13 Strict: This Spice Girl Is A Little Scary

It's impossible not to be a fan of the Spice Girls and start dancing when you hear one of their songs (if not singing along). And as it turns out, Scary Spice (aka: Melanie B) is a strict parent.

According to Mother And Baby, she said this about the way that she parents: "I'm a strict mom, but I have a lot of fun with my kids. I'm all about routine, especially during the week when it's a school day, I help them with their homework, but then on a weekend, we'll get to hang out with Justin Bieber." (Okay, that last part would make any kid happy... myself included!)

12 Strict: This Flower Child Believes In Some Discipline

Drew Barrymore is sweet and seems like a bit of a hippie. She has a bohemian thing going on and her production company is called Flower Films. So, there are good vibes all around.

I'm surprised to hear that she's kind of a strict parent. As she told Parenting, a word that she would use to call herself as a parent is, "Disciplinarian, because I think it shows that you care. But that doesn't have to negate being the silliest mom that ever lived."

She proves that being a strict mom doesn't have to be a bad thing because it proves you love your children and want good things for them.

11 Strict: A (Not So) Merry Christmas

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are one adorable celebrity couple. They're also fairly strict as parents. They both seem so chill and often play funny roles in rom-com movies, so this probably isn't something that we would expect.

According to The Independent, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher decided not to give their kids any Christmas gifts one year so that they wouldn't be materialistic.

On the one hand, I can understand that and think that it's inspiring... But on the other hand, can't this lesson be taught on any other day besides Christmas!?

10 Strict: Foxy Mama

Are we surprised to learn that Megan Fox is a strict mom and has lots of technology rules? As Brightside says, Megan Fox says no to TV, using the Internet, and any kind of technology for her children. Watching a film is a sometimes thing that happens in their home, but not often.

While it seems that the majority of parents would agree that having kids watch screens every moment of every day is way too much stimuli, it's maybe a bit extreme to say that it should never happen. But, hey, to each their own. Parents have to do what feels right for them and their family.

9 Strict: Phone Rules

Surprise! Bill Gates has rules for his children when it comes to technology and cell phones! Considering Gates is a tech guru, it's so surprising to hear this side of his parenting.

According to A Plus, Bill Gates said his kids had to be 13 before getting a phone. Many parents can agree that sounds like a good, logical age. Kids are pretty obsessed with phones and always want one of their own, but w want our children to play and focus on other things, too. It can feel like everything revolves around cell phones these days.

8 Strict: This Is Surprising

Fans of Kylie Jenner were absolutely excited to learn that she was having her first child, a baby girl, and when Stormi was born, everyone wanted to see photos of her.

Kylie Jenner is a surprising strict celebrity parent because of this one rule that she has: according to Brightside, she has people who come to meet her baby wear medical masks because of germs.

I do understand the concern for germs, but at the same time, we often hear that germs are good and it's okay to be exposed to them. You need to, actually, and we can't protect ourselves or our children from every single germ.

7 Carefree: Sweet Little Suri

We all know and love Suri Cruise because, well, come on, she's SURI CRUISE.

Katie Holmes seems like a carefree parent because according to More, her daughter Suri Cruise would dress a certain way when she was younger. Suri Cruise would wear high heels and makeup, playing dress up to look more like mama Katie.

I'm guessing dressing up in more mature clothes is something that's kept at home, because she always looks so polished and put together when out running around with her mom.
