Drew Scott Details “Heartbreaking” Wake-Up Call From 4-Year-Old Son
“It was heartbreaking for me because he just saw me on calls all the time,” Scott explained over footage of Parker playing with a phone. “So that was a wake-up for me to not be on my phone when I’m around the kids. To show them that I’m actually present, I’m listening to their questions, I’m answering, I’m playing with them.”
As the HGTV star emphasized, the “balance with family is very important,” before bringing up an example of how he came home during his lunch break from filming to be able to attend his daughter Piper’s music class.
“It’s a small thing but for me to be present there, I can see it in Piper’s face, she gets excited. And for me, it’s heartwarming and I love it,” he shared, while a video of the toddler in her class played. “But if I was just to be in my busy, busy work pace, I would do calls over my lunch and I would skip that. Then all of a sudden I would look back years from now and think I missed these crucial points in my baby’s life.”
