Sheryl Crow a strict mom!

Sheryl Crow is strict with her children.

The singer who is mom to adopted sons Wyatt Steven, 4 this month, and Levi James, 1 this month told Prevention magazine that she isn’t a pushover.

“I’m strict,” she said.

“They have to understand that somebody’s in charge and sometimes the answer is no. It’s about being consistent.

“I really think that you do them a disservice when they get out into the world and they realize they’re not entitled to have everything,” she says.

“I think we’ve gotten to that place where parenting has been equated with making a child happy.

“Now that I’m three and a half years in and I see Wyatt going into a little testosterone phase, I’m like, ‘Whoa!’ But he has great role models. He sees his two uncles and his granddad often.”

Crow recently insisted she loves performing but is considering cutting back on her live shows because she finds traveling with children exhausting.

“In Nashville, singers with kids only play live on Saturdays and Sundays,” she said. “They call themselves the weekend warriors. I think I might do the same thing myself soon enough.”

As well as wanting to cut down on the amount of performances she does because of her children, Sheryl also admitted becoming a mother has made touring much less wild than it used to be.

“Touring is a very different thing for me now. I’m much calmer, much less… debauched would be the wrong word. I was never debauched, but I did like a smoke and a drink,” she said.

“These days, I’m lucky if I end the evening with a glass of wine. But then I travel with my children now. My priorities have changed.”
