<p>Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jane-fonda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jane Fonda</a> admitted that one of the biggest regrets she&#8217;s had in her life is not being &#8220;the kind of mother&#8221; she wished she&#8217;d been to her three kids, and said she just honestly &#8220;didn&#8217;t know how to do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 85-year-old actress&#8217; recent appearance with Chris Wallace on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9bPOP4PnlY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, Fonda said she&#8217;s not afraid of dying, but does have a few regrets, one of which is the kind of parent she was to daughters Vanessa Vadim, Mary Williams, and son Troy Garity.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not scared of dying,&#8221; the &#8220;Book Club&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jane-fonda-reveals-shes-been-diagnosed-with-cancer-starts-chemo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s an adventure. You know, I don&#8217;t want to go. I still have a lot to do. But &#8230; what I&#8217;m really scared of is getting to the end of life with a lot of regrets when there&#8217;s no time to do anything about it.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I have very few regrets,&#8221; Fonda told the host. &#8220;I was not the kind of mother that I wish that I had been to my children. But I have great, great children, talented, smart. And I just didn&#8217;t know how to do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;80 For Brady&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jane-fonda-says-thered-be-no-climate-crisis-if-not-for-racism-and-twitter-has-thoughts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> said that over the years, she&#8217;s made it a point to try and &#8220;show up&#8221; for her children after learning later in life what parenting is &#8220;supposed&#8221; to be, &#8220;<a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/family/story/jane-fonda-regrets-type-mom-3-kids-im-97354612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Good Morning America</a>&#8221; noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I have an organization in Georgia [Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention] that deals with adolescents,&#8221; Fonda shared. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve studied parenting. I know what it&#8217;s supposed to be now. I didn&#8217;t know then. So I&#8217;m trying to show up now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fonda’s comments were similar to ones she made in 2017 when <a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/porter/article-c0afa78a389fe2a2/cover-stories/cover-stories/jane-fonda-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaking</a> with actress Brie Larson, as she explained &#8220;it&#8217;s never too late&#8221; to make up for not being a better parent.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am trying to make up for what I didn&#8217;t know before,&#8221; Fonda shared at the time. &#8220;When I die, I want my family to be around me. I want them to love me and I have to earn that. I&#8217;m still working at it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fonda was previously married to late French filmmaker Roger Vadim, with whom she shared Vanessa Vadim. In 1973, she and ex-husband Tom Hayden, a late anti-war activist, welcomed son Troy Garity. In the 1980s, Fonda adopted her third child, Mary Williams.</p>
