“Probably doing the best she can, and I’m doing the best I can. And the kids are growing up, so I’m a proud proponent of the system. It’s fine,” he said.
“It’s a very, it is an interesting kind of, it’s a two-lane highway, you know, but they don’t ever seem to merge, which is fine.”
When it comes to raising his kids, Rossdale’s biggest priority is not to raise “jerks.”

“Making them likable. I think that if you’ve got kids that are unlikable, they’ve got a tough life ahead, you know. Life is hard enough without being a jerk, without being kind of aware of other people, mindful of other people, considerate of other people, empathetic,” he began.

Rossdale said he tries to be an example for his kids and how they should show up in people’s lives around them.
“And so all those things that I try to do my best in my life to be… Just try to show by example with my kids, consistent friends, consistent people around and a sort of a steady approach to life,” he said.

Rossdale explained that there’s so much pressure on the younger generation, and he sees that through the eyes of his kids.
“I feel connected to the pressure that young people have in terms of what to do. And if you go to college, what the hell are you gonna do in college, and then how are you going to pay off your student loans, and how are you going to go into the workplace? And it just seems very, very hard for people. Very, very hard. And I’m not sure if it’s getting easier,” he said.
