Ellen spoke to InStyle about parenting and confessed: "I make a lot of mistakes. You just learn."
She added: "Kids are just so open and honest, and you could get down on yourself a lot as a parent, like 'Oh I'm not there enough.'
Ellen and Chris welcomed their middle child via surrogate.
"It's easier to beat yourself up and feel guilty. But you can't adopt a sort of victim's attitude. You have to adopt an optimistic, can do, 'how do I fix it?' attitude with kids."
