On this latest tour, Carey has gotten to spend lots of time with her kiddos — and they've even been on stage with her!

"I love it," the "Obsessed" crooner said of her kids following in her footsteps. "I love seeing them stepping into this performance space, this music space, and the fact that they’re eager to do it, that’s on them, you know what I mean? I'm not forcing them to do anything. I never say, 'You guys gotta do this,' you know?"

Page Six spoke to the source.
