Chip Gaines Says He Doesn't Want His Kids to Get Used to the Rewards of 'Ease and Success' in Life: 'Unrealistic'
Chip Gaines says he doesn't want his kids to get used to the rewards of "ease and success," calling it "unrealistic." Chip shares his five kids with wife Joanna Gaines — Drake, Ella, Duke, Emmie and Crew.
The HGTV star, 49, penned an essay for the latest issue of Magnolia Journal and opened up about how he feels raising his kids in a society that often equates success with finishing a project. "While there's nothing inherently wrong with moments of comfort and reprieve, sometimes I worry our world has put these ideals on a pedestal, and happiness has started to look like ease and success like finish lines," he continues. "Knowing that [the older kids] will be gone in the next few years, I’ve made a conscious decision to create micro-moments, to feel in the now with our family, just be really more intentional with our time together," Joanna told PEOPLE.
