As Frye delves into the dynamics of her household now that her daughters are away, she recounts a recent scenario where her 11-year-old son and his friends engaged in a science experiment. The actress amusingly reflects on the shift in energy, saying, “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, is this what boy mom vibes is going to be like? Hip-hop playing and baggy pants?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my goodness. What is happening?’ … I’m like, ‘Girls, just remember to come home.’”
Acknowledging the speed of her children growing up, Frye expresses her disbelief that her eldest daughter is already in college. She adds, “My oldest daughter is at college now, which is totally insane because I feel like I’m still college-age.” Frye reflects on her bond with her children, remarking on the joy and admiration she feels as they navigate through different stages of life, mentioning, “to see them sow their own exquisite beings is amazing.”
Frye also shares her hopes for her daughters as they embark on their new journeys, emphasizing the importance of having a constant connection to their home and family.
