"Ryan Phillippe has said that he enjoys the fact that both he and Reese Witherspoon have tried to be &amp;quot;hands-on&amp;quot; parents to their two children. Phillippe revealed that he believes that being there for 11-year-old Ava and 7-year-old Deacon is important to ensure that they are grounded as individuals when they grow up. &amp;quot;I imagine it would have been more difficult if we weren&amp;#039;t as hands-on as we were or allowed them to be raised by nannies,&amp;quot; Phillippe said, according to Bang Showbiz. &amp;quot;I think then they would become assholes.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;But you&amp;#039;re constantly educating them, we have two incredible little people that we&amp;#039;ve raised,&amp;quot; the actor continued. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m proud of us for that fact.&amp;quot; Phillippe also revealed that his children are aware of how fortunate they are to be raised in a household where money isn&amp;#039;t necessarily an issue. The Lincoln Lawyer star has previously admitted that he sees becoming a father as his greatest achievement.
