“Now I, like, give advice or try to talk to them like a parent, as you do,” Affleck recalled. “But what I’ve found is that now it’s not only one teenager rolling their eyes… now I catch them giving each other looks. And I realise I’m the caricature in this story. I see them be like, ‘Dad is saying this and that…’,” the Batman actor stated.

The Oscar winner went on to share a candid family moment in which his children did not hesitate to roast his past dating history. He recalled a moment when he was sitting down for dinner with them as they discussed school drama and relationships.
“And I have some lived experience, I think, that’s worth sharing—some lessons that I learned,” Affleck explained. But when he tried to offer some advice to one of his children, his son shut him down and said, “Oh, like you’re the expert on relationships?”
He further shared another incident on a trip to a bookstore, where his children spotted a book titled I’m Sorry For Everything. He recalled that his son immediately pointed it out to him, quipping that it served as his "autobiography."
