In 2008, she told Parade magazine: “I think that if I had been raised a child of privilege, I wouldn’t be the working person I am today. I have a great appreciation for work.”The actress said she therefore refrained from raising her children in a life of excess and luxury, adding: “I think it’s incumbent on my husband and me to really stress and to show James Wilkie by example what it means to owe your community something and that he is not entitled to the benefits of our hard work.”Parker also shared that she was dressing her son (who was five years old at the time) in hand-me-downs from her older nephews and in her brothers’ clothes that her mother had saved. “I don’t think I’ve ever bought him any clothes,” the actress disclosed. “I do buy him shoes, because everybody’s feet are different.”James Wilkie Broderick with hiking buddies in Ireland.
