Ivanka Trump is a different type of parent than her father Donald Trump. Whereas Ivanka is involved in each and every aspect of her two — soon to be three — children's lives, Donald was — as she puts it — a little bit more hands off. Although her parents were definitely "quite strict," Politico reports that she also remembers them as being "detached."

He would be the type of parent who would realize after the fact, I probably shouldn’t have been going to a Rambo movie when I was 7. That's not the type of stuff he cared about. But what he cared about was respect. You would never hear us yelling at our parents or using a tone that was inappropriate or disrespectful. Even a tone. Forget the words that sometimes come out of kids’ mouths. [Ivanka Trump, Politico]
