Nobody is perfect – even Tamera Mowry got checked by her own son! On the October 18 episode of The Real, the Sister, Sister alum revealed that she called Aden annoying, and he called her out for “calling names.” The six-year-old’s response made Tamera, 41, take a step back and reflect on how she uses her words.

During the Girl Chat segment of The Real, Tamera was asked by Adrienne Bailon if she ever called her kids annoying. “Absolutely,” she responded instantly. “I think the thing is though people need to realize that moms aren't perfect. And we make mistakes. And we get frustrated. It happens, it happens.”
She continued, “I did call Aden annoying one time, and then I got a revelation,” the Twitches star told her cohosts. “He looked at me – he’s just too smart for his own good though – and he said, ‘Mom! That hurt my feelings. You’re being mean. You called me a name. You told me not to call names.’” In that moment, the mother-of-two realized the importance of practicing what you preach.

Tamera continued, “And I’m like, ‘oh, you’re right.’ I shouldn’t have called him annoying, I should have called his behavior annoying,” Tamera clarified. “So it’s not like you’re a bad boy. What you’re doing is, you’re making bad choices. I need to make better choices.”
However, Tamera realizes that nobody is perfect. “But at the same time, sometimes we slip up!” she exclaimed. “And it’s OK. But because of my son.” Before she could finish her sentence, her cohost Loni Love said, “He checked you!” Tamera confirmed that Aden did check her saying, “Yes he did. We teach our children, but sometimes our children can teach us. So, I am learning.”
Tamera’s son has been a topic of conversation during her time on the talk show. During an episode of The Real in March, she called Aden “ugly” on air. In May, the Strong Medicine alum also spoke of a time the six-year-old walked in on her and husband Adam Housley having sex.
