The 'Requiem For A Dream' actress is a laid back parent to her kids - 12-year-old Kai from a previous relationship and Stellan, six, her son with husband Paul Bettany. She happily ignores their certain behavioural traits, but doesn't tolearate rudeness in them, reports gossip.ie.

'Things like bedtimes and cursing don't bother me. I'm not offended if Kai is laughing and says something like, 'That was f***ing hard.' Or if I drop something and says 'S**t',' said the 38-year-old.

'But I make it clear that other people might find it offensive. And I won't stand for cursing at someone or rudeness. I am quite strict about manners,' she added.
