Jennie Garth Talks Marriage And Family In Hollywood

Jennie Garth told E! News that just because you don't hear about her eight-year marriage to 'Twilight' star Peter Facinelli in the tabloids doesn't mean it's boring.
"We have plenty of drama. You just don't hear about it," she confesses. "But I think every couple does. If you don't have drama, I think you must be a robot."
So how do they manage as a family living in Hollywood?
"We just try to stay real as a family, as we were both brought up, and not let it ever go further than that," she admits.
Part of that is simply being active with her kids, supporting them and guiding by example, and knowing that sometimes a creative game can make the most mundane task fun for the whole family.
"Every morning, I pull teeth to get them to brush their teeth," says Garth, who is working with Trident and Smiles Across America, which brings dental health care to underserved kids.
"As a parent, it's challenging to take care of your kids on every level, and this is just one of the many, many things that we have to be really diligent about as parents…
"I do something with my littler ones. We hide a little toy in their mouth, but it's not really even in their mouth. I tell them that there's something hiding in their mouth, and I hide it behind their head and so once they brush their teeth trying to get the little animal out, then they spit, and when they spit into the sink, I drop it into the sink and then they think that they've rescued the animal out of their mouth. They love it. It works!"
Teeth brushing with kids can be quite a chore :)

One thing Jennie is excited about is the 'New Moon' premiere.
"I'm just excited to be there and support my husband. He's like the perfect Dr. Carlisle [Cullen]. I'm such a fan of the book and of the movie that I really can't picture anyone else playing Dr. Carlisle, so I'm very happy to be there on his arm. It's not about me—I'll just be arm candy that night.
"That red carpet last year was pretty intense. I'm sure it's going to be even worse this year," she says. "Maybe I'll just stay back and let him do it. I'll wait in the car."
Oh, I hope she's on the red carpet beside him! I can't wait for the pictures; they're such a cute couple :)

great couple. I think it's true, some couples get closer with kids and other's not so much...
haha..I'm going to try out the toy trick on my daughter and see if it works. She'll probably look at me like I'm stupid. lol

they are cute, and seemingly pretty normal.
They are a very cute and good looking couple.
He's super hot.
And regarding the teeth brushing thingy, I think it's best to train kids to love to brush their teeth. My little niece loves pretending to floss her teeth because she sees adults doing it.

I haven't gotten to the brushing teeth stage with my son yet, but he laughs when I brush mine. I think the sound of the electric toothbrush delights him.

I wish my 10yr old would brush better. She won't get around the braces and they get gross.
