Matthew Doesn't Take Offense from His Mother Despite His Childhood

McConaughey might be a massive star now, but he started off in a simple enough family and once confessed that some people might find the way his parents raised him to be abusive. Yet he confirmed he didn't feel that way.

He said that his parents chose to discipline him and his siblings in a way that others might find violent, yet he doesn't remember it being that way and thinks it's all in how someone takes what is done to them. Talking about this outlook, McConaughey said:

"I don't raise my children the same way my parents raised me … but I don't dare judge how my parents did it."

The actor said that he and his wife have chosen to raise their children with more dialogue in discipline, which allows them to debate with their children on issues, but his mother still thinks they talk too much.

with them. He said they spend time together and enjoy each other's company.

Since Kay moved in with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, she has given interviews about how she enjoys it. Here is what she said:

"I'm enjoying so much being around my grandchildren. I'm very comfortable with them. Matthew is a very good son. I tell him all the time. He's good to me."

McConaughey's wife said she loved that her mother-in-law made her laugh and that she was still feisty even in old age. She then said her mother-in-law was proof that if you had a strong mind, your physical body would follow suit.

Camila and Kay began making videos together a while ago, which Camila shares on Instagram. She affectionately calls her mother-in-law "MaMac" and shows off their daily lives in the short clips.

One video showed them talking about Kay's shirt, which said, "I'm available." Kay spoke for a little while before Camila called her away to watch a soccer game. Another video was of the pair talking about lettuce.

Camila asked her mother-in-law if she knew what hydroponic lettuce was and when she replied that she did not, Camila asked fans to leave their answers in the comments and said she would reveal the answer later.

Another video showed the pair poking fun at one another on the beach as Kay complained that the wind was ruining her hair. In the caption, Camila said:

"She loves to be messed with in a funny, loving way! Matter of fact, if she's not getting it, she starts to instigate trouble."

In one video, Kay talked about the importance of keeping your brain active, so your body doesn't become lethargic. Camila said her mother-in-law inspired her to keep moving, even when she didn't feel like it. A lovely family indeed!
